D'Angelo Russell 2016 Summer League Offense Highlights - MAMBA Mentality!

[@dham2288]

To see a 20-year old guard willingly and efficiently post up brings tears to my eyes.

[@coachhhhhhh]

W

[@mitchellsatnewu7849]

20 year old? initiating a post game ?? .... guess you've never heard of kobe bryant? guess not....ahhh the youth!

[@dham2288]

+Jann Mitchell I've followed Kobe since he was a rook. His early adoption of the post game also brought tears to my eyes.

[@5enr]

+Jann Mitchell that's his point you idiot lmfao the ignorance! we don't see much of that anymore and its reminiscent to Kobe. get a clue

[@ProfessionalTraderfx]

+dham2288 W

[@kaelinellis]

His jumpshot just seems effortless after a while

[@hvllacozy2634]

Kaelin Ellis im saying. I wish I had his shot, shit wet af and looks dumb effortless.

[@cozynewton]

Smh This Man Tom Penn and almost all of the ESPN NBA analysts love to hate on D'Lo.

[@alij8h]

"He has to average 30 ppg in Summer League or he's a Bust" - Tom Penn

[@jjack3186]

ESPN analysts are a joke

[@TheMaddBlackMann]

This guy D Loaded game has a hint of Steph Curry, a bit of Chauncy Billups and a touch of Andre Miller

[@coachhhhhhh]

I agree, His pull up 3s look a lot like Curry

[@aladdinabu710]

They all play completely different than D'angelo and they all play smart. Steph's one of the only players with the gift and leeway to pullup just about anywhere and anytime he wants. Billups is very unselfish and knows exactly when to take over, if it's someone else's day, he'll pass them the ball. Andre Miller's great getting into the paint, even at his advanced age. He's also an unselfish player, very smart, he knows his role and he's also capable of scoring with the game on the line. D'angelo has allstar potential but he has neither of their game in him

[@AngelSurgeSSX]

+Aladdin Abu Russell was an amazing passer in college and has shown how he can drive in and shoot I wouldn't compare him to curry but he does have a similar pull up to him Russell has the magic in him.

[@TheMaddBlackMann]

Aladdin Abu So dumb. He has Chauncy like PG post game. He has so Curry like flair and 3 point shot release. And he is crafty like Miller. You are just a hater

[@gabsanchez]

There's a little Mark Jackson in there too. He's like a more athletic mark jackson that can shoot.

[@varshneyabhay]

when your dad says "that's what i am talking about nigga" to his son, you know you have made it. LOL

[@godmeloanthony7895]

Will be the best PG IN Da league someday #StayMe7o

[@youngfuturesupreme3901]

fuck no

[@ericks64]

I LIKE THAT

[@hvllacozy2634]

+YoungFuture Supreme u kap

[@tom_cruz_24]

D'Angelo Dad cool asf

[@mrtmoney18]

Lakers are gonna regret trading this dude for basically a bag of potato chips . Smh Russ has star potential

[@BoRickersonMcFoosters]

Mrtmoney18 facts

[@jhnbrnrdnmd]

so kuzma is a bag of chips hmmm 😕

[@keoni1781]

John Bernard Namud they still would’ve got kuzma. The lakers wouldn’t have got Hart. Josh Hart was on the Nets draft board Kuzma wasn’t even on it so the lakers would’ve gotten Kuz after the nets pick anyways.

[@sen9854]

Mrtmoney18 he’s an all star bro we seen him grow up 😭

[@HoodFavNick]

You called it

[@slipnorris5882]

I see the fire in his eyes this year, black mamba esq

[@rice801608]

Nah, there's only one Mamba. Already picturing what the team would be like with a young Kobe.

[@AngelSurgeSSX]

+Michael Fejeran that's why he said mamba esq I

[@papadolph5216]

I agree! There is only one Mamba. But hopefully Russell will actually shoot a great percentage like a Michael Jordan or a Magic Johnson!!!! No more 45 percent shooting superstars. Lets get back to when you had to actually be good at what you are SUPPOSED to be good at. I think Russell could be ;)

[@CaucasianCactus]

This guy is gonna be a superstar. Has almost everything offensively and is only 20. Also 6'5. What's there to hate on

[@EasyBreezy41]

well...

[@BrantWeckstein]

That man can score

[@NbaLive4ever]

As a Laker fan, I love watching this!

[@issa.flinstone]

Y'all peep that Triangle Tattoo with an Eye in it??, He Points too it when he says "I got ice in my veins"...

[@WhirlHD]

-__- bruh you doing too much

[@hipsterdog24]

Bush did it. #InsideJob

[@ulandguillory2884]

I'll pray for him... he needs it. He joined the illuminati 😔

[@xanzibar]

It's shame what crack did to the black community.

[@rhcpguitarar]

With playing time this year he can easily average 20ppg. He plays the pick and rolls like Chris Paul (minus the lob option) and he's an over sized PG meaning he can take smaller PG's to the post. He has a very high ceiling. I feel like we are only seeing the beginning of DLo.

[@cozynewton]

19 ppg, 4 RPG, 6 APG - Candidate for Most improved player (Just my prediction)

[@alij8h]

I think 19-5-6 so yeah similar bro

[@cozynewton]

+Alijah Taylor it'll be fun to watch man can't wait!

[@samer6986]

i wish but theres too many scoring option on the team most likely between 16-17 ppg with 5-6 apg 19 ppg is too high

[@sairamesh5521]

No sophomore should win Most Improved Player unless it's a dry year. Rookies are bound to make that leap in their second year unless something goes wrong in their development. Your stat predictions seem to be accurate though. I'd say around 18 ppg, 5 rpg, and 5 apg myself.

[@A1God25]

+VinoKB24 too many scoring options? Fuck are you talking about. You don't have any go-to scorers period. Him and Ingram will get the most touches so he can easily average 19 this season.

[@caliswag113]

D Lo looks like Young Kobe tbh.. Especially his post game. Snitch ass nigga, But I like his game.

[@jay1746]

W

[@kingme1034]

Major L

[@imsteezy1]

Word he a snitch, but I like his game & confidence

[@NerdDrill]

yung kobe thats a little bit of a stretch

[@WallTrapMedia]

Then you must have never seen a young Kobe because D.Lo's neither looks, moves or plays ANYTHING like a Young Kobe. When Kobe was young the NBA wasn't so pick-n-roll heavy, Kobe was 6'7 ultra-athletic, great footwork, great crossover, good defenisve fundamentals and always looking to make a spetacular play. Russell is basically a outside shooter and playmaker with great passing instincts and can get hot. If Russel plays like a young Kobe then Klay plays like a Young Clyde Drexler.lol.

[@tonygicz8]

Celtics fan celebrating the Lakers win at 5:13 😂

[@PeterJustGames]

Lakers have so much young talent. Russell, Clarkson, Ingram, Randle, Nance, Zubac... they all better have a Kobe-like work ethic.

[@HoodFavNick]

Proficient Perspective to bad they all got traded away

[@Kobe24219]

That moment when Tom Penn was talking shit about Russell and the second he started ranted dangelo starting to heat up and take over the game Busted his ass! That's why u a draft analyst and nothing else scrub ! Hahaaaa

[@erikmaddox8634]

GOD DAMN I LOVE DLO's GAME. THAT BOY BORN WIT D ICE IN HIS VEINS THE NBA GOING C NEXT SEASON ON I THINK DUDE CUD GO DOWN AS A TOP PG ALL TIME JUST MY OPINION WANT A JERSEY BAD BUT I DUNNO.... LETS GO BULLS/LAKERS DWANYE WADE BABY!

[@joelflake4302]

damn this video gave me hope for Lakers nation. Purple and gold will be back just wait on it!

[@dionsmoot]

we need that intensity, that focus day in and day out

[@dommyyandfriendss]

D-Russ is going to have to takeover this season for the Lakers!

[@WallTrapMedia]

In college he was scorer but was ACTUALLY known for his passing ability--hell even some scouts said he was the best passer they have seen in college since Magic and now all of a sudden he can't pass by some of the people commenting! LOL Russell is going to have to change his game to be more of a scorer period. He's not going ever be Wall or Rondo or Rubio. He's more in the Steph Curry to James Harden mold.

[@AngelSurgeSSX]

His team mates have used to his passes because he passed where they were supposed to go not where they were

[@hepatitiscyalater7269]

I would prefer d angelo to be a really good scorer and be a decent passer.We don't need him to be a Ricky rubio type player.We need scoring

[@solost6855]

Kobe And Manu mix . Deadly tho

[@deandrepage1048]

Kobe is my fav player, will let Mamba mentality slide only because he played with Kobe. So D-Lo can be a student.

[@pio3561]

Sad to see this guy go....

[@carcarstz1506]

I wish he would dunk more nowadays. My dav player

[@pwnership3292]

3:03 if you pause it at the EXACT right moment (at the flash) then you get D'Angello's first poster

[@pwnership3292]

Same at 3:07

[@thahoopcentral]

dlo & jc averaging 20ppg next season

[@NiigkaPlz24]

Please do Ivica Zubac 🙏🏼 he's a monster

[@Cabus14]

+GxrRoflstomp hahah I'm a lakers fan and I found that funny. good one

[@samueljones7135]

Chill he's never going to be as good as cp3 but he is good

[@caleb6595]

This will be the 2020 NBA Finals write it down

[@hvllacozy2634]

caleb crabtree nah, 2022

[@caleb6595]

JCObrazy_ Lmao i feel that

[@Stimulation334]

caleb i see this was a year ago before the Kyrie trade. The Lakers will make it but nothing beating the Celtics in the east.

[@cesaralfaro307]

D lo🔥

[@natepazmusic]

I think that injury during the regular season messed him up. His mobility and hops looked better here (the summer prior)

[@viper4051]

Ice in his veins

[@stephencurry305]

he got snitch in his veins but he good tho

[@viper4051]

+Russell Curry tru but he looks like a different man on the court

[@nazcartv7908]

druss: i got ice in my veins

[@timmothyandres6005]

Ben Simmons highlight at 4:30

[@gee_kaz]

He could average 17+ppg 4+rpg 6+apg this season

[@brandonmrturnovertrashingr4311]

Got that Kobe gene in him

[@keithmarcus8638]

Didn't quite live up to the 2nd pick hype. But by no means a scrub. Look like superstar some nights

[@jonathanpoe6145]

My Nigga Russell A Beast

[@oneman9121]

His game really has a hint of Steph Curry to it, except that he's a lefty and has a bigger body.

[@jonathanespinoza6352]

He said "ice water" in his veins 😂

[@Mike24Williams]

Russell could've hit Nance for some nasty lob passes .

[@williamweber6406]

Anybody else see the blatant double dribble at 8:34

[@krankium]

he never dribbled the ball twice. He dribbled with two hands once and went up for the layup. Blatant tard in the comment section

[@williamweber6406]

Thanks for falling for the b8 m8. I r8 8/8.

[@thegodseyinator]

lmao "i was only pretending to be retarded, joke's on you guys" you're a fucktard

[@christianderas6890]

Idc what nobody say he better than clarkson ice in his veins

[@Pressedforpeace]

give the Lakers 2 to 3 years and they gonna be a championship team

[@monojuice]

3 to 4 years and they can be championship contenders

[@josephhyun9002]

de angelo russel=ice boy

[@dafttassia1960]

Mamba mentality? hell nah

[@shanksdalegend2507]

damn nigga his jumpshot is fucking lit 🔥🔥

[@ozzieamadi8235]

you could tell that the sixers watched film of dlo or something they tried to trap on every pick in roll. If it wasn't for Holmes not trapping and letting dlo get back into the game the sixers would have won

[@Sushibaby117]

Ice in my veins

[@bricksausage62]

I'm telling y'all right now, this guy will be a slightly improved version of Sam Cassell in his prime.

[@bobbeard532]

L

[@brandonthesickman3666]

I don't even like him that much but that's a major L

[@bricksausage62]

Giannis The GREEK FREAK Antetokounmpo You should watch footage. Sam Cassell was a top 5 point guard in his prime especially during his T-Wolve days. They both are relatively slow compared to other top tier point guards in the league right now and use their height and ball handling to slow the game down to their own pace (D'Angelo has become pretty good at this early in his career because he had to iso a LOT last year) Sam Cassell became extremely crafty to make up for his lack of athleticism around the rim with a nice set of post moves and finishes, D'Angelo will have to do the same because he struggles with that at the moment.

[@billslover90]

the next tony parker

[@Greebith]

I love how last year y'all were all calling him d Angelo bustell, then in the middle of the year y'all were calling him d anglelo ratsell, and now y'all all talkin bout how he tho goat and shit.

[@vipersniper1080]

Bust

[@ballinglikeimtobe4920]

Too bad George gervin has the Ice Man nickname

That's okay his new name is subzero anyway

[@ballinglikeimtobe4920]

I like that nickname a lot actually

[@xanzibar]

+dranzerbeast0308 That's actually good lol

[@chinoantrax9184]

+dranzerbeast0308 lol some one else thought about that one

[@ayeconnerr4600]

Even no he is a snitch he still might be a top 5 player in 3-4 years. He played good.

[@chefwestbrook2612]

I don't see the cp3 in him whoever said that needs serious medical attention. I don't see russell westbrook at all. I dont see steph curry either (ppl only said curry cause of a few quick release 3s). What I do see is a more consistent, taller, and stronger brandon Jennings

[@JWillGames]

you need glasses bruh DLo plays like DLo his game is different from everybody

[@lowkeys.n2212]

he doesn't have Brandon Jennings, Quickness or handles they only share the same personality

[@exillens]

Curry, Billups, CP3, Andre Miller, Penny, Magic, Ginobili, Harden, Mike Conley, Dragic, Brandon Roy, Nick Van Excel, Brandon Jennings, Kobe, Tony Parker, Nash, Kyrie and more. His game has been compared to elements and styles of all of them. He's pretty much a different breed

[@tom_cruz_24]

light skin mamba

[@Munchhiano]

Larry Nance plays just like Blake Griffin omg

[@vlopez078]

Better defense too can't wait

[@scourged_nation2152]

not to mention dlo is lookin like cp3

[@ccjswd]

+Scourged_Nation not really like cp3, not really dishing as well , more like Kyrie with his ability to score, not the handles (yet)

[@scourged_nation2152]

+ccjswd ummm no bro even damarcus cousins said his pass vision was amazing and carmelo ur just seeing him score right now but hes a pass first point guard just like cp3 and can score like cp3 irving is more of a scorer

[@ccjswd]

+Scourged_Nation I know his passing vision is amazing, I've seen him in college and even in his rookie year he's made so nice dimes. I'm not saying he's not a good passer but he is more of a scorer right now then he is a passer

[@schoolshooter6740]

I'm a beast

[@saberplaytop]

Is it me or does it look like he's carrying the ball half the time

[@luqmandahir2967]

this nigga actually play like Penny

Can we let that corny "Mamba Mentality" shit just die already ? Kobe's gone let that shit die already sheesh.

[@ackeembowen-adams3866]

Lol don`t think i`ll go anytime soon man, think people are going to just forget him that quickly? Sure the Mamba mentality maybe Kobe`s thing, but just another word for killer killer instinct bro. Besides we all have the Mamba mentality some where even you.
