D'Angelo Russell on Victor Wembanyama: He should have won all the player awards

Russell appeared on the Run Your Race podcast and the Lakers guard talked about that year with Kobe, saying he was so young and naive that he couldn't really hear what he was trying to teach him, but over time it started to resonate. to him: “Good timing. I mean, again, I was ignorant of his whole legacy at the time. I'm 18, so I'm young and dumb. It's all funny. Kobe Bryant, let me see if I can make him laugh, just a young and dumb bro, so I found it hard. He wasn't laughing, he was serious. But he was scolding me, it wasn't like 'lil bro, you don't have to do that, think about it.' And I'm going 100 miles an hour and he's going to be Mr. Miyagi, and I'm going to get a text from him.
