“People want to be Lakers. There's just so much pressure, and some guys...” — D'Angelo Russell Quote

People want to be Lakers. There's just so much pressure, and some guys handle it and some guys can't.

That's my ultimate goal, just being a part of something special.

If you have your own taste, you know what looks right and what looks good on you versus someone kind of telling you what looks good on you.

I really don't know what it takes to make it to the playoffs.

I didn't know what it meant or what it took to be healthy and be prepared for 82-plus games... Injuries come with sports. I know that. But you can be prepared, get your body as prepared as it can be through practice and weights.

Who wouldn't want to own the Lakers?

Me, I've kind of prided myself on doing whatever it takes to win, whether I was with the Lakers or the University of Wyoming.

The Lakers have always had nice jerseys.

I think that a lot of times we get wrapped up in just our career - we play ball, we make good money. As a kid you probably grew up a Lakers fan, a Clippers fan or whatever it is because sports is just a thing when you're a child. But, when you really look at the overall picture, we have a platform and a voice.

I never was able to be a Lakers fan - I'm more of a Spurs fan.
