As D’Angelo Russell heaps praise on new Lakers coach Luke Walton, it’s difficult not to interpret the comments as an implicit slam of Byron Scott.
How does the previous Lakers coach, who frequently clashed with Russell, feel about that?
Scott – who coached Jason Kidd with the Nets, Chris Paul with the Hornets and Kyrie Irving with the Cavaliers – via TMZ:
It doesn’t bother me at all. My track record with guards speaks for itself. So, I don’t pay, really, no attention.
It don’t have a relationship with D’Angelo.
Russell might find that familiar.
