You ain't kiddin'. The equivalent pre social media scandal would involve Russell buying Young a room, waiting until he took his mistress in, and knocking on the door with Iggy.

I don't think he leaked it himself but that's not really the point. He was asking another teammate about other women and secretly recording it. However it happened, he gave that video to someone else who leaked it to the media.
He's a dumbass any way you slice it.

There were already trust issues in that locker room before all this came out, and Byron Scott even publicly called Russell an immature child earlier this season.

idk when it was exactly, but Byron said that Russell was 19 but acted like he was 14 or something to that effect.

So your foundation is someone no one would trust with a bad dream they had? Sounds perfect.

Look, Russell was wrong. No one can really defend what he did; he recorded Young, so he's responsible if the video leaks, however it gets leaked. But this entire ordeal is symptomatic of a dysfunctional culture. But that bad culture was in place long before Russell arrived.
They definitely need to clean house. I just don't think you start with the 20 year old immature kid who happens to be the most talented player you have.

No. It's an explanation every man can understand. Doesn't make it right, but it makes sense.
Fighting over women has torn apart many locker rooms. I'll just say it again, the main factors for whether it can be overcome is will the player change his behavior and how good is he.
But heavens no, saying every man can understand it...nah.

If he continues to do immature things and isn't that good of a player, LAL will crumble.

Ok, so maybe not every man. But surely most professional athletes, that have pussy hurled at them on a consistent basis.

I understand that.
Then you see that apparently Barry and his wife divorced over it. Does it seem like Barry thought to himself, "I can understand that."

Didn't you hear? He averaged, like, 22 points in six of seven games at one point!

quote:Exactly. This is what I was trying to say, in about 300 more words
Tony's explanation to his teammates is simple: "I was horny and she was fine."
Russell's explanation to his teammates is what? "I was collecting dirt for future use."

If he leaked it, you're right, he's a huge dumbass. But I doubt that and it certainly doesn't seem like the obvious explanation to me.
Even if a buddy leaked it, it's irresponsible as hell to share that with said buddy to the degree that he can go out and sell it to the media.
