Love that he called himself forward on defense and professionalism. Grown man talk. Also: So many little digs at Darvin... Lots of upside if JJ keeps these guys enrolled!
He said he wanted to be like Derrick White last year... all talk, Lo soft! 🧻🧻🧻 39% career playoff fg - floaters & 3s, doesn't play physical or attack, or get to the FT line
D'Angelo won a lot of games for the Lakers last year. I think he will show that he is better than any guards they could have probably traded for. I never had a problem with his shooting slumps in the playoffs, if you take a lot of three's you have slumps. Mostly careless turnovers and missed defensive covers could be minimized. But you don't have to be dominating on defense or super quick, most of NBA defense is team defense schemes. If Vando and AD are healthy and Christie and Vincent are contributing good minutes the Lakers could have a very good defensive team this year. Lebron showed in the Olympics he still has "it".
D'LO is under appreciated. He is a solid point guard. He puts up solid numbers considering he plays off ball when Le'bron is facilitating the offense. Point guards need the ball to get in rhythm. I think he maximizes his role on the team considering he doesn't have the ball always. He compliments Le'bron and Anthony Davis game well. Lets see if JJ can take us to the promise land.
DLO took accountability and he’s focused on what he could do better on the defensive end. I really feel like he’s under appreciated for what he does on the court for us. Every player has there highs and lows but Dlo is a key piece for us and I still believe in him!
That last statement about him is what we need. Obviously he’s not a lockdown perimeter defender, but if he can consistently interfere passing lanes & help boxing out, that’s a huge boost for the team.
I'm happy DLo is back, and I'm so proud of his growth as a professional on and off the court, I hope he really plays well this season to silence the critics.
Facts. His Growth and Evolution as a player is speaking volumes and has been solid to see. Hopefully we see that maturity translate on the court for DLo this season.
Good for him. Re the maturity/professionalism aspect, he took the humble route the reality is the pressure and the 'abuse' he was getting at times is beyond normal so fans or 'fans' need to acknowledge that stuff has been handled poorly if you are really aiming for team success
D lo will always be the x factor on the lakers if we can get an all star dlo with bron and davis throw 13 14 points from Austin The lakers would really have something Dlo is scrutinized alot for good reason 💯 🏀
Man still at the 6:25 min mark but impressive so far . He addressed defense and being basically a leader through all the ups and downs . D’lo a good player defense and consistency could have him be an allstar
DLo doesn't need to apologize to anybody about his play last year. Jeez, the guy made the most 3's in a season for a Lakers player. And yes, everybody knocks his defense, but he was better than previous years. I am glad he picked up his option & was not traded. Go DLo!
This guy has shot less than 40% in back to back playoffs while literally getting hunted on defense. The stats have shown that he's the Lakers' worst defender and most inefficient offensive player in the postseason. Why does anyone expect something different will happen this year?
They don't make the playoffs without him. His scoring bursts during the season propell them to make the post season. Without Dlo they don't have enough offensive firepower to even make the playoffs
@@manhwarecapdarkhart well we will see. As for now they got to wrk with him because it looks like Lakers are not going to trade him🤷🏾♂️… so I hope for the best while also hoping that they will still trade him🤷🏾♂️
Im praying for it myself because LBJopeing his big mouth and playing PG last year was the funniest thing ever..better yet maybe they will let AR or Broony be the PG..lol
Dlo realiezes that team usa win bec they worked as team even they are superstar they sacrifice so the team cud win him watching his not superstar why he cant be selfless nice one dlo make sure dont be westbrick anymore its bron last year lets get the chip
The Lakers will never win a title with Dlo has our starting point guard. He will get hunted on defense and shoot poorly in the playoffs. He’s more of a sixth man who you can bench when he’s struggling
He is also our best 3-point shooter. You will probably be the first to put your cheer leader gear on when he scores. Hating on a player that had a couple of bad games is crazy work. This guy works hard and is not the sole reason why the Lakers lost. Go look at his career playoff stats. You might be surprised
@@justhedalllevels2556😅No I would not put my cheerleader gear on for Dlo. I’ve been mentioning on my Twitter for two years that Dlo is an inconsistent playoff performer. I’ve also posted his playoff stats on my Twitter feed showing his poor play in the postseason. Every postseason, he has shot less than 40% from the field and less than 30% from three. And the defensive metrics have shown that’s he’s been the Lakers worst defender in every playoff series. Dlo literally gets hunted on defense and shoots poorly from the field. I repeat, he’s sixth a man on a true contender. That’s not hating, it’s being unbiased and honest. I wish he played better in the playoffs and I root for him, but I’m also realistic

Gotta respect it for sure
Keep them "enrolled"?
Would have been nice had he not disappeared in the playoffs but blame Ham I guess
I like Dlo’s no bs approach. No sugarcoating.
39% career playoff fg ... LeTrade him!!! 🙀🙀🙀
I hate you too bro 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He's gonna ball out this season.
And then he'll shoot 5% from 3 in the playoffs. Lol jk, I really want him to do well
not many PGS in the league that can average 18+ points ppg while having AD/Bron and going split with AR
Come on now I believe jj gon put him in better situations for him to flourish better too
jj is the right coach for dlo. he will have his best season this yr, mark my words!!!

D LO is such a solid human. Mad love

for him he needs to be consistent even if the shot not falling he need to find ways to help us win
💯
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I felt he was so authentic, free and truthful
Biggest fan of this guy eversince he was drafted. Making yourself accountable with the laps he done is a big salute. HOPE HE WILL BE A LAKER FOR LIFE
This is gonna be your biggest year by far dlo. Go show em what you can do!!!!!
One of my favourite forever💯💯

Dlo doesn’t have a crackle in his voice anymore. Sounds very mature 💯
I still believe dlo lets go to another level this year on the playoffs babyyy

Find a different player who doesn't choke in the playoffs
You can't be serious

I like that dlo. Holding yourself accountable, everything he saying is depth. I just want him to be consistent! More so during the playoffs.
DLo really a CLOSER🥶🥶🥶 Locked tf in
I love this guy

Stop idolizing athletes lil bro. I like hoops too but the only king is Jesus.

Let's go D-Lo!
He is underrated we need dlo idk why everyone always hating
He scores at a high level and facilitates aint no one else doing this on the roster
"Lakers Nation loves me" 💜💜💜
D lo will always be the x factor on the lakers if we can get an all star dlo with bron and davis throw 13 14 points from Austin The lakers would really have something
Dlo is scrutinized alot for good reason 💯 🏀
D'Angelo Russell seems excited about the upcoming season. Interested to see how the Lakers perform this year.
Please keep this same energy for the playoffs we gone need you
That’s my daaaaawg
lol the shade towards his ex coach and laker fans. i love it
Man still at the 6:25 min mark but impressive so far . He addressed defense and being basically a leader through all the ups and downs . D’lo a good player defense and consistency could have him be an allstar
If bron gon retire soon then AD needs dlo moving forward
More Leg 🦵 day DLo get them legs ready ! 😂😂
Let’s go dlo
DLo doesn't need to apologize to anybody about his play last year. Jeez, the guy made the most 3's in a season for a Lakers player. And yes, everybody knocks his defense, but he was better than previous years. I am glad he picked up his option & was not traded. Go DLo!
No he gave no effort on defense, and he put up a goose egg in the playoffs…. But he sounds like he will do better I’m excited
He made 14 3’s the whole playoffs. He definitely has to improve
Yeah Lo!
DLo... You arent consistent in the playoffs.
Be better.

Against Denver* Won us games in the Mem/GSW series
Gusto ko mag laro c dlo magaling sya sobra😊😊😊😊😊
DLo it’s your turn to show your worth
This guy has shot less than 40% in back to back playoffs while literally getting hunted on defense. The stats have shown that he's the Lakers' worst defender and most inefficient offensive player in the postseason. Why does anyone expect something different will happen this year?
Ham gave up on him I mean if your coach bail on you why care? He human just like we are
also didn’t have defense heavy guys healthy in playoff rotations
Different coaching and systems can help and be a difference maker.
@@kayneee100What does that have to with hom disappearing in the playoffs or never playing defense for his entire career
They don't make the playoffs without him. His scoring bursts during the season propell them to make the post season. Without Dlo they don't have enough offensive firepower to even make the playoffs
My mans has matured so much over the years. He’s essential to this team, I hope he has a career year

Can you ball in the playoff please ?? Please bro
Coaching and chemistry will be better stay tuned!
@@TheMaintenanceMan94🔥🔥👀💯💯 let’s hope injuries don’t plague the lakers this season again

He’s dangerous to us losing in the playoffs lol
Keep delo
Alright dlo I accept ur apology at least u know
Me too
REGULAR SEASON RUSS
Exactly…I hope he prove us wrong this season
@@eligahmurrayjr1541said that last year😭
@@eligahmurrayjr1541 why should he? You going to react the same based not on a series but on one game anyway..if he around for the playoffs that is.
@@manhwarecapdarkhart well we will see. As for now they got to wrk with him because it looks like Lakers are not going to trade him🤷🏾♂️… so I hope for the best while also hoping that they will still trade him🤷🏾♂️
poor d'lo is always in trade rumors
All i think about is him disinterested at the end of the bench.
He took accountability for it, so hopefully he is better.

Yes I've cold Bricks 😂😂😂😂😂. Running around the court with snow flakes under his sneakers in real life like 2k
@schmitkeoriginals. Yes 39% playoffs but theres no playoffs without him.
So they calln the coach JJ and the old man entitled😢😮
Graham Springs
Dlo referencing I.Q. is hilarious 😂
really? he's an amazing passer with great reads. It's just that he can't guard a single point guard in this league
@penname4764 alot more goes into I.Q. than passing my dude
@penname4764 I.Q. is alot more than passing my guy
@@penname4764why are we acting like he’s a actual cone on defensive he’s good he’s just not great and the weaker guard
He actually is a high IQ player if you watch his game closely. Just not the most athletic so it’s harder for him to maximise it.
'why is there four players.. and a dog on the court??'
Go Buckeyes!
Bout to get his minutes took by Bronny. 😂
39% career playoff fg .... ✌✌✌
Move him already
LOL. for who?
Please trade this man
Im praying for it myself because LBJopeing his big mouth and playing PG last year was the funniest thing ever..better yet maybe they will let AR or Broony be the PG..lol

When do you know get traded
Lakers….not….not going anywhere
We all know Darvin wasn't good
Let the season play out to see if he wasn’t good or not
Eating on the bench when subbed out, yeah, Dlo that's unprofessional.
Its proven with D-lo as your STARTING pg you ain't winning 💩💯🤷🏿

Is there no one else besides this guy? Not a single free agent 😂
Lee Charles Wilson Shirley Anderson Sarah
No we need defense
no again this guy, please leave LAL!

The Lakers will never win a title with Dlo has our starting point guard. He will get hunted on defense and shoot poorly in the playoffs. He’s more of a sixth man who you can bench when he’s struggling
I agree. That would be his perfect role, if you have the player to start over him. Still a valuable starting pg
He is also our best 3-point shooter. You will probably be the first to put your cheer leader gear on when he scores. Hating on a player that had a couple of bad games is crazy work.

He should have been let go or traded due to that incident in the play offs of not participating in the huddle.
