Lakers guard D’Angelo Russell went viral for a hilarious press conference sequence following his team’s Game 3 victory over the Grizzlies on Saturday night.
Russell was told by an unidentified Lakers or league staff member to put his drink away during the postgame press conference because it isn’t partnered with the NBA. The drink, coco5, is partnered with several big names like Russell, Derrick Rose, Charles Barkley and Devin Booker, who is the majority owner and ambassador.
But, instead of putting it away, Russell said, “You gonna have to fine me.” The woman proceeded to take the drink away with a smile after Russell said, “You gon’ have to take it.”
