D'Angelo Russell has yet to play an NBA game, but he's already a millionaire. Only a few months ago he was living on a stipend, and Russell wouldn't be the first young man to fall victim to the trappings of the fortune to come along with the fame.
D'Angelo Russell's talent has always transcended petty materialism, but it's not as if he's ever been caught in the streets looking like a hobo.
Such subdued swagger is Russell's #brand, according to Russell himself in a video interview from the cabin of a Rolls-Royce with Lance Fresh of BleacherReport.com:
"Im comfortable right now," he says.
Well, Rolls-Royce didn't get to the summit by producing trash.
Russell admits he didn't know the Lakers were drafting him until they picked him, and even admitted he was "surprised."
As for his eventual life in L.A., Russell says he "can't wait." I'm not sure I can blame him.
