D’Angelo Russell is tired of people speaking ill of him. On Thursday, he took that frustration out on a fan.
Russell told a Kings fan to “suck his d*ck” after he was heckled with a topical political sign before the Lakers’ 101-91 win over Sacramento on Thursday night. The Kings fan sitting by the tunnel made a sign that read “D’Angela Leaked Hillary’s Email.” When Russell walked out, the fan got Russell’s attention and showed him the sign. The Lakers guard didn’t respond to it very kindly.
It’s barely audible on the unfortunately portrait-oriented video, but the fan in question says Russell yelled the vulgarity at him. He took to Facebook to explain what happened:
So last night I get a chance to attend the Kings vs. Lakers game at the beautiful new Golden 1 Center. Thanks to a close friend our seats were right next to the Lakers bench. So of course we get in a little old fashion heckling on D’angelo Russell because frankly he deserves it. So I make this sign “D’angelo leaked Hillary’s emails” and start showing it around. Get a laugh from Metta Worldpeace, a thumbs up from Matt Barnes. But then I get D’angelo walking out of the tunnel with the sign where he turns directly at me, looks in my face and yells “suck my d*ck” (volume up on video). Classic style. Then to make it even better, D’angelo went on to show his true snitch colors by telling on me to Kings security, saying I was antagonizing him and that my sign was “derogatory”. Never change D’angelo #sacramentoproud #kingsnation #stopsnitchin
Brandon Jennings just read that and nodded his head in approval.
Russell comes into his sophomore season after a dominant performance in the NBA’s Summer League, but I’m sure the Lakers would prefer he doesn’t have such a thin skin when it comes to things like this.
Unless, of course, he has something to hide.
