Confirmed: Lakers star finally reviews why he become a monster on court
D’Angelo Russell has thanked the people who criticized him after scoring 44 points against the Bucks.He said that facing criticism in public has made him stronger and more determined on the basketball court.
Russell expressed that he always believes in himself, isn’t afraid of challenges, and is ready to face any obstacles.
Russell, who was chosen as the second overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, has faced a lot of criticism over the years. When he was traded by the Lakers in 2017, the team’s former president, Magic Johnson, criticized him for not being a leader and for not improving his teammates’ performance.
Last year, he was also criticized for not performing well in important games, like the Western Conference Finals against the Nuggets, where he didn’t score many points and had a low shooting percentage.
“Gilbert Arenas”
Some people, like former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas, even made fun of Russell for not taking enough shots in certain games. But now, after his outstanding performance against the Bucks, no one is criticizing him.
It’s interesting to see how Russell will handle this newfound praise after dealing with criticism for so long.
