D’Angelo Russell Shot to the Groin by LeBron James
Note to Los Angeles Lakers D’Angelo Russell: Always keep your eye on the ball(s) – especially when it comes to your own. Towards the end of last night’s game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James attempted to pass the ball to a teammate but was intercepted by the rookie’s nether region – needless to say Russell had to take a moment to regain himself.
