Honestly, we got DLo back to LAL at the right moment of his career. This man had matured and developed his game. I was actually surprised that the Minnesota let him go when we got him. Great effort by the entire squad when AD was getting locked up. Everyone did their part to get the W and the crowd cheering made Reeves, DLo, Dennis, and everyone fired up

His contract was up and he was extending the contract. Plus he didn’t play D-dense but his offense was superb. It’s a win win with both teams right now. Mike is a better defender and playing well with the wolves.

Oh shut up the could have grabbed him 3 yrs ago

Tell the truth AD was getting doubled by Siakam and Anunoby soon as he crossed or caught the in between the 20 ft 16 ft to the rim if you was actually watching the game or even highlights

Was all part of the plan

Dlo is great. Just don’t become close friends with him.

“They lucky I sprained my ankle, simple as that…I was ready to go crazy” 😂🔥

​@Blacku Spiritu yeah cause they dont lose against memphis or minny with dlo starting

@Steve Haynie I don't know why people bring up Golden State when the Lakers have beaten them 3 times this season and the Mavs are one game from the play-in

@Steve Haynie ok lol

@Charlee Parker You definitely don't know basketball or me..Please

@Steve Haynie I said what I said Stevie

He’s so easy going I love the chil vibe he brings and all of the compliments and encouragement to his teammates.

be careful he might snitch on you.....

​@Santino Lesane past is past bruh and who cares about nick young

Of course people only talk about your worst moments. Nobody can mature or learn from mistakes. These people are perfect and without flaws…

The Russell the lakers needed All along

Ain't that the truth

@TheMETALICA40 lol it was Nick young who cares.

@TheMETALICA40 😂he was young tho that Lakers team was just a young team just having Fun and living life without thinking of anything else 😂

The right Russell

Team chemistry just went up ⬆️

@BIG Speaker lol just means they afraid

@antti ruotsalainen u kno people love to hate Bron bro he clearly don’t watch the games

@Prof. Zach Caesar they have a winning record with bron and losing record without bron make that make sense

Lebron is the problem they need to get rid of bron

Totally different squad with dlo running the point 🔥🔥🔥

@Hooligan no time to be a player. need to be a prayer prayer warriors are the way of the future Jesus Christ is Lord

@Setfree-saved you as much of a player as gunna is, boy pipe down lol

@Hooligan do you know Jesus Christ? That's what matters now forever so don't prayer hate l...participate

I rest my case.

@Used Name if you look at youtube comments as a battle seek help lol

Was a big fan of D’Lo even before LAL drafted him. Was super stoked when he was here during his first stint in LA. Sad at what led to him being let go. Super up on him when he was ballin’ out in BKYN. Watched him grow even more in GSW. Kept some tabs on him in MINN. And now the prodigal son has returned back to the Laker Nation Dude has matured, grown, and developed into a spark and leader at the PG position that be Lakers been NEEDING this season—and honestly been needed for a more than a decade now. Can’t remember the last time LAL has a legit star at the point. He’s playing well, taking accountability, and saying all the right things. Keep ballin out D’Lo!! Man I hope we keep this dude.

@Q Hoffa95 - But as far as stardom/stability at the PG for more than a season or one playoff push--we def been lackin But ur right 💯 credit is due where its due. Bubble playoff Rondo def deserves his flowers. Crazy too cuz he was mad inconsistent the whole regular season.

Definitely! Nice to see it come right back around….but let’s not forget Rondo; he got em that bubble ring

🙏🙏Blessings forever GOD loves y'all too forever tell everyone you know and don't know. Jesus loves y'all too forever. Teach everyone how to see and enjoy their blessings too forever2

Feel EXACTLY the same.

I hope this Lakers team could make the Playoffs.

@Dark seid ya cause of the trades and them not staying healthy... I thought that was common sense

@Darsh Mishra bron hasn’t made the playoffs since the bubble what are you talking about

@Dark seid He does put this lakers team without lebron and they will get eliminated first round in 5. He the reason for all there wins before dlo came. And he makes the player around him great take the cavs for e.g they would of barely made 2nd round without him, and miami, they would still be good but not championship worthy.

@Dark seid Chris bost still won 2 chips with lebron ur case is very bad

They will

This man is in such a great place in his life. You can feel it from within him. I love it for him! How he is playing is just a testament to that. I love that he gives props to his teammates, it just shows that he is a fan of the game as well. The confidence is peaking and I'm here for it. We about to see something very special from this team.

He’s maturing in front of our eyes 👏🏾

Go to sleep 😂

I hope he stays a Laker for a long time. I'm appreciating this story arc.

He has grown so much!! It's a beauty witnessing him evolve as a player. The man looked like prime harden out there. Really smooth. We def got the the real Russel. His energy is contagious and clearly impacting the whole team. Redemption time!!! So proud of him!! This exactly what AD and Bron been needing! Am ready scoring mn achine.

We needed that 3rd option borderline Star on our team. I think we got him 😊

I’m so glad he’s back . I never wanted him to leave.there’s also piece of Kobe with him being on the team

He's grown so much since the last stint as a Laker. To be able to return without a chip on his shoulder nor bad feelings about how things went down last time shows a high level of character.

+42 Chemistry, +125,000 Fans. Welcome back. We missed you 💜💛👑 Now let's get it 🏆

Great mentality what a player 🫡

Let’s go. Crazy what happens when you no longer get the air sucked out of your team because of constant bricks by Brickman.

All my homies still hate russ

@G0Morso you think they’d be winning these games if they hadn’t made the trade. You guys are crazy

@SchadTheGodx Cornball. This isn’t new lol 😂 y’all casuals just don’t pay attention to details. Be mad kid

Relax bud its also nice when they got one of the easiest schedules remaining 🤫

The Lakers bench in the fourth quarter is the reason they won this game!! They have been playing great recently despite no Lebron. D’Angelo was shooting lights out in the fourth quarter!!

Bro this bench was our starters like month ago our rotation so deep

Top 5 deepest team in the league

I remember being happy as hell when Dlo was drafted, lakers needed a point guard for years. Dude came back at the perfect time. I just wish we had this team in November instead of February.

I'm amazed at his maturity. From the first time he was a lakers . Happy for this dude.

Lakers have a legitimate chance to win it all this year. This team on fire and once Bron comes back for playoffs sheesh

@Yung Leek they seem good on paper and so far look pretty good, i just need to see more for me to even think about them being anywhere close to title contenders, either way it would be next year if anything

@Majora lakers don’t need kyrie. The squad they have rn is perfectly fine

@MEGANOD ! if healthy they can get fat. Healthy to Bron and few others is the only thing keeping them from making a deep run. If they healthy they are a team to fear. Bron lead teams are problems when league this open.

Honestly they are extremely new as a team. Yes, they do have high possibilities to make it far but I think it's too early. They remind me of the phoenix suns when out of nowhere they popped up as a good team. It takes time. I think this year they could probably make the playoffs but not get that far.

@Majorathey def could if they make it 8th seed and able to beat the nuggets

Great interview D-Lo... Keep the energy up. LETS GO LAKERS!!

I'm so happy for D-Lo maturity but I'm happy that the Lakers actually have a fighting team and as a Lakers fan I want to see the exact same team but Vanderbilt your winning defensive player of the year brother let's keep grinding and not let cocky and win a few more

Not the Russel we deserved, but the one we needed...

Great guy I hope he stays for the foreseeable future

Everyone of ya'll agrees that Dlo conversation made our Day:

this man definitely plays 2K he got the team chemistry up and the fans up in one interview lol

🥶🥶🧊🧊so glad DLo back wit his play making. His growth as a leader is amazing since his last time on the team

Sounding like a man that wants to make the playoffs 🔥🔥

He right they WERE lucky….he had been going off since he became a lakers…actually he was going off in Minnesota….Dlo was meant to be a star in the league, star since Ohio State…. Lakers are his now ❤

That "NOW" Tat Hard As Hell🔥💫

He is a killer a closer, he will be our closer down the stretch and into the post season.

True Lakers fan and I Love this team 🔥🔥‼️🏁🏆

I LOVE how he mentioned “a training camp” that boy ain’t tryna get dumped away in the offseason 😂😂😂 he know lakers be so thirst to trade away everybody

In a great way I mean that. I want lakers to resign him already

Glad Russell is back now he seems more mature and focused and is the point guard the Lakers need to take some pressure off Lebron and they have a bunch of shooters now which is what Lebron plays best with also it well help AD Watch out for this team

Props to Pelinka man, he did some magic at the Deadline

The way Dlo was talking during this interview shows his maturity and his mindset

All those years he was being clowned…….the pain…..it helped him!

You get shooters and defense and look what happens 😂

@Mohammad Awesat You don’t trade for a brick on a max contract if you want to get shooting and defense.

you say it like it's that simple and they can pick whoever they want at anytime.

He’s matured, he’s got ice in his veins

It’s crazy how people use to say the sold their future but they got it back with Dlo returning! And with Bron and AD!

Can tell he’s trying not to get emotional, Ik this meant alot

He sounds so happy with life, lol. I love it

I love this team!

LeBron is winning his 5th ring😭 Everybody was counting the lakers out and saying “13th seed” just a few days ago. We just dominated a healthy Raptor team without LeBron. Lakers are back and we’re winning the chip. Don’t bandwagon when we 3 peat. Lakers in 4.

@TJ - so what😂🤔🤔 you have nothing else to bank on so you say things like this😂🤔 just let it go kid you embarrassing yourself 😂

@Devonta Cosby there are so grammatical errors in your paragraph, my lord.

@Devonta Cosby you didn’t put any work for either chip brotha.

@TJ - I’m a lakers fan so that mean I won the right to boast 😂🤔 bro stop it you embarrassing yourself 😂🤔🤡 take heed to your own advice when it comes to your team kid!!😂 try again next year kid

LA and Brooklyn made a mistake letting D’Lo go, he shows over and over again that when he’s on the right team, he’s lethal.

Yup and the nets let him go after coming off a good season with him for a situation I’m sure they regret.

@The1Weapon true that, he had to mature with other organizations since the lakers couldn’t help him initially

I think his leaving the Lakers helped mature him. We’re getting the right version of D’Lo at just the right time.

Literally grabbed a blanket once he got on the mic and court.. so cold 🥶 burrrrito

This is not the same guy LA got rid off. He sounds a lot more mature and self aware of his situation.

Agreed…well said.

its great to see how much dlo has matured since he last wore the gold and purple

Best Postgame Interview all year. 🏆

As a nets fan dlo needs to be the #1 option in order to really maximize his potential, hopefully he wont fall off when bron comes back.

Through D-Lo’s NBA journey, he’s played with Kobe, Steph and Bron

That shows a young man who is now boss level mind set

Perfect time to do ice in veins shocked he hadn’t broke that out yet we’re waiting for it so glad we got him back lock him up and keep our Lakers and please keep Austin Reaves he gives us white kids from small towns some hope he should be starting give Beasley bench minutes

Yeah! This year in gonna be crazy lakernation! From play-in team to Top team to beat in the west! 🔥

Dlo is giving the Laker fans hope. LakerNation all day

D'Angelo Freaking Russell was a dangerous man last night keep it up D'Angelo Russell!!

61 bench points is crazy and the starters scored 61 😂😂😂

Lakers in 4 we taking it this year 💜💛🖤💯💯

Great win!!! 🎉🎉🎉

I picked the Lakers to make the finals before the season started and I still stand on that. If Bron get healthy and AD keep ballin they just might.

Haven't been this happy in a long time 😭

This guy seem like a great guy don’t see him posting his private life often but I like his game he plays basketball so simple I learn a lot

@Brandon 😂😂

5 years ago, this comment would've opened the floodgates 😂

Thats what I like to hear DLo! Mans got the right attitude

The fact that he brought up Bron shows his greatness...same as ad....just wait til the playoffs

Happy DLO is back ! Was always meant to be a laker !!

He forgot to do the coldest celebration "Ice in my veins."

not gonna lie he got some leader vibe right there

Lakers finally got the right Russell now 😊

LET HIM COOOOOOK😭👏👏👏

LAL and DLo is like you're getting back together with the one that got away who was actually really good for you lmao. this new lakers team is crazy now. how they pulled off the trade to get vando DLo AND beasley is just.. damn. they were the reason behind T-Wolves success last year too. them boys are hoopers

Ice in his veins 🥶

Him and AD are the Brow Brothers🔥🔥

Raptors schemed AD out that game but what they didn’t anticipate is the Lakers bench being able to get 60 points and make up for lack of AD on the offensive end

I honestly think we can win it all this year as long as bron and ad can go

this man got so mature

DLO gonna go crazy in the offseason

Notice no one is talking about Jeanie and Rob and the Rambus...they were patient...didnt bow to wishes of superstar...made best choice for organization

once a laker always a laker he got that Kobe killer in him in the 4th !!!

When he says “I just wanna bring the fun back, bring the laughter back.” An then the cockiness he’s grown he was a kid out of Ohio State when he came in. my god KOBE BRYANT here’s your guy back in purple and gold baby. Mamba Mentality

He’s a walking W

Different skillset, natural heir of Kobe. Facts.

I wish he was on my squad…

Lakers need to keep d'lo and jarred Vanderbilt

I traded for him on fantasy and he immediately got injured and of course he drops hella points in ir

woulda been on a 8 game win streak and at the 6th seed had DLo not gotten injured fr.

He's got ice on his veins and his ankles.

D-Lo matured dramatically even his voice changed… it sucks that Magic traded him for snitching on Nick Young

He was young back then but now he turn into the big Dawgs nih

The Lakers are 8-3 since trading Westbrick. The Clippers are 2-5 since signing Westbrick.

@Alex Bowling word everyone was praising russ his first came for the clips but i was saying the man had 7 turnovers, not a good look

No it should be @Noy Bayolente Brick Jr.

@Dats a paddlin i would believe on his teammates than some random nobody guy

@DyLemma no you’re going by your emotions and not by the stats and fit. He clearly didn’t fit which in turn doesn’t mean he’s trash. He needs shooters and to be played at certain times. Like he can’t be played at end of games anymore. But as a role player/ of the bench guy he can succeed.

Even though A.D. didn't score much at all, the Lakers won easily. DLO, REAVES, AND DENNIS WERE HUGE!!!!!!! DLO IS A MAJOR UPGRADE AND IS A DIFFERENCE-MAKER!!! THE LAKERS DEPTH IS LETHAL AND THE REST OF THE LEAGUE BETTER RECOGNIZE THEM!!! AND AGAIN NO LEBRON!!!!!!!!

Dlo matured and now is ready

"They lucky I sprained my ankle!" DLo sending a message to the T-Wolves.

Bro left LAL, got on the VC grind and now he back for a ring 💍

holy sheeeet this dude glo'd up. Straight grown man talk.

They still need another big and one more shooter to be perfect

i ain't like him his 1st time in L A he's matured & I'm happy to see him ball

Imagine they get Brendan Ingram back next season, they could start a dynasty

Lmfao 😆 😆, no way that's happening

Somewhere, Kobe is smiling...

If he plays like an alll star nobody messing with the Lakers.

@John not since 2019😂😭 he’s capable tho

He's already all star
