Sports analysts and former pro players are weighing in on the D’Angelo Russell scandal.
The 20-year-old LA Lakers guard secretly recorded a private conversation with teammate Nick Young in a hotel room.
Young, unaware that he was being recorded, eagerly recounted his adventures with a 19-year-old groupie. Young is engaged to be married to wannabe rapper Iggy Azalea.
The video found its way onto a gossip blog, and from there it was picked up by ESPN and other sports outlets.
After the video went viral, Russell was shunned by his Lakers teammates and booed lustily by Lakers fans during Wednesday’s home loss against the Miami Heat.
Many former professional players are shocked that Russell broke the cardinal rule of the locker room and team hotel: what happens there, stays there.
“There are levels to the rules,” said SportsNation co-host Marcellus Wiley, who played in the NFL for 10 seasons. “The violations start at pillow talk, and that happens in every single locker room. Guys are talking amongst guys, and someone goes home and tells their significant other, and that turns to gossip, and someone else hears about it from the outside and it comes back into the locker room. That’s a misdemeanor, because it happens so often. But what D’Angelo did was felonious. This is the worst example I’ve ever seen. This is damning.” Source
The Lakers are investigating how the video was leaked from Russell’s phone.

Damn, D…….they tryna throw the book at you!!
D’Angelo was dumb for recording it but Nick was dumber for ADMITTING it. A lot of cheaters don’t even get caught. They TELL ON THEMSELVES. Both of them need to have a seat in the corner with foil hats on..
I think is innocent in the sense that he was chilling and talking in confidence with his “friend” and teammate, but I am sure he learned a valuable lesson from this. The cheating part, Nick was not so innocent. Russ, was flat out wrong!!
I mean, the person to blame here is Nick. He shouldn’t have never cheated and this wouldn’t have happened.
Why I low key think Nick put DAneglo up to it….To get out of his relationship with Iggy the Great female rapper… You would really think D knows better #IJS
only biche Niqqas do this….. A real man would name throw shade on another man game, NEVER… that’s their code….
Oh he’s going to do life! Watch.
Correct. It was a felony when it was done to @Whang too.
Its to the point now that if you ever tell anybody anything “secret” or very revealing, you gotta check to make sure they dont have a phone recording stuff they can use against you… because your friend today might not be your friend tomorrow.
Crazy world we live in now, with this age of social media.
Men are known to get caught…chile they Fail at cheating…
WHERRRRRRRRRRRE Is @NakeyaJ to give us Iggy boss Tip logic-isms?
*cries*
They so damn stupid. Like really.
Might not be in prison, but doing life by the homies never trusting you is much worse!! In two seconds he will go from a Snitch to a Bee-otch!!
DIDN’T I SAY just LAST WEEK in regards to the OTHER incident that Nick is caught up in, that THEY (da’ man) is out to get these YOUNG (no pun), RICH, educated as well as uneducated BLK MEN? Didn’t I say that.
Now what I want to know is…..did they consider a felony charge against that one HOE that was fuggin that old basketball manager? Remember her/them. Her name started with a V. He was some owner. The names escape me right now. Anywho, said alladat to say, did they charge HER with a felony?
What happened to Whang?
This one was too trusting, cause Iggy ain’t know shiat……or did she suspect and set him with D’Angelo’s help?
V. Stiviano and the old owner of the Clippers… Sterling
Them.
2 posts in a row… okay.
He knew he was being recorded. So no. No charge
….and be BROKE because ppl can be petty like that and will blackball his ass from the “sports” arena. LOL
Real interesting to see who defends who in this situation. Some yall out here flat out telling on yourself just like Nick
Wait…..did Iggy just pull a Khelani (without the suicide attempt)? Got dumbAzz D’Angelo to set his teammate up, so that she can now be the poor, cheated on fiance, who was so in love and eagerly planning her wedding, only to have her dreams of a happily ever after shattered? Let me find out and how much she pay you D?
Everytime?
It’s a good feeling to just be “clean” in your relationship and know that nobody out there has anything they can try to pull out and use against you.
That cheating-and-hiding stuff is for the birds.
Huhn? How? I think we all agree that the cheating was dead wrong, the focus is that he was trusting dude and this was the outcome. Two wrongs don’t make either one of them right.
This is true and if you gonna do dirt, have the decency to leave me alone, instead of having me out here looking dumb!!
She was employed by him as his archivist. That was her job. So yes. Everytime.
@disqus_u2cDTETVQH:disqus what’s the special at Moe’s today.
http://www.tmz.com/2014/04/27/donald-sterling-racist-audio-v-stiviano-recorded-clippers/
Then he tried to sue her and it was thrown out.
I guarantee some bird he was messing with got in his phone and sent this to that blog. Oh, well, you’ll be smarter next time.
(most) Basketball players cheat. The end. That really shouldn’t be surprising to anyone and Nick is like 25 sooo uh yeah.
Now, D’Angelo Russel is a hater for real. There are some other words I want to type but I hear they are logging key strokes around here. You really have to be a MITCH to record a dude talking about cheating (on his GF) AND leak it. Smh, a straight cornball.
The taco salad I think. Im about about to go to the Brunch Box. Homeboy paying for my food if I go get it.
*sounds horn*
NOBODY CARES
Takes your horn and stomps on it!!
OH SHAT. Maybe
Well not specifically here, but social media in general. Lot more people upset about some damn code than the fact he creeping on some 19 year old
Somebody recorded her. Story Downstairs. Not nice at ALL man. Recording folks
I like brunch box sometimes but haven’t been in forever. I enjoy their pasta salad and cookies more than their sandwiches.
A bird taking a shit is news these days ? idgaf
Oh, I see.
*picks up my 2nd horn and bops you*
???
While I don’t think he sent it personally I bet he wishes he never recorded it and kept it.
Lol
Damn o well…what’s done in the dark WILL come to the light…
He knew that shyt was wrong before he posted the video, damage is done now.
Good Morning Sandy, Good Morning Roses & Thorns…*kicks* FOH bitter trolls.
Happy Birthday to my momma, you are my everything Momma, Enjoy your flowers while you can smell them. I love you more than life itself. XOXO
Happy Born Day, Momma!! We love you!!
I hope this is the case…but Nick seems like he sprung by this nonrapping pink toe
I care more about ah bird!!!?
On the news this morning a rainbow bird flew into the shoulder of a newscaster during live broadcast.
Turns out some lady lost her bird ? And that was the lost bird. She said her friends started calling her saying they saw her bird on the morning news! ???
Bood lustily ? If that was on purpose Ms. Rose I am using it!
Ditto! My thoughts exactly. How are you doing today?
Yay. Happy Birthday to your Mom
where did the crime take place? a lot of states allow you to record conversations as long as one party (typically the recorder) consents for it to happen. some states require at least two party consent.
Hmm could be…
Happy Birthday Momma Afiya
Listen…a secret is something only ONE person knows…if 2 people know one of them gotta be dead…real talk
Yeah because he said he was forgetful ?
I feel sewwwwwww murch better thank you for asking. I hope you’re swell as well ?
These “celebs” gone learn about posting their indiscretions on socha media…first Kat now possibly him. Yeah, ya’ll just keep this chit up…
Happy birthday to your Mom.
Iono about this intern
Now this is more interesting ?
I’m doing well, thanks. Just over here working too hard. But it’s Thursday, so I’m good.
He done turned me on to it. Only my second trip. I love the free cookie if you pay cash
I dont agree hun…fukk this pink toe she deserves no respect
Now if she were a sista it would be misconduct
Yep
It was so pretty!
I for one don’t care because Nick thought it was cool to cheat and sleep around sooooooo hey what’s done in the dark will come to light.?
Yeah… the little cookie is good on some days. Other days I like the big cookie. lol
I want to see
Wait Famelous is a man!
I know how he got that recording …. and so do you ! !
Basketball isn’t what it used to be.
I know that newscaster bout passed out. Was the bird injured? (the society in me is concerned about the bird and not the person)
He hung hissownself
Didn’t EYE give you a joub to do?!?
+1
Hold your horses!?
I gotchew!
I’m not on a pc yet ?
That’s good, they need to be worried about how bad they suck. They haven’t been good since the night in 2010 my grand baby was born.
She was so shocked. The bird was fine.. The camera man came and got the bird off her shoulder because he was not budging lol
He only sorry because of all the backlash. The whole team gave him hell they said on ESPN. Im not condoning cheating but what happen to the bro code lol. If he wanted to do something he should have sent Iggy the video privately instead he went public with it and sh** went viral. But Iggy did thank D’Angelo but he looking like a pu**y boy in front of the entire world. Doing sh** like this going to make him have no friends especially male friends but he might snitch on his female friends too lol
3 callers ahead you Jimmy ????
Gimme 1/2 hour ???
I agree. Or at least he could have just kept it to himself.
Its not that serious ? Who tf cares
Now ^^^ this!!!
Who’s paying for this press? Nick? Iggy?
As far as man violation goes. Yes its serious. As far as just everyday life. He was just proven to be another bish azz ninja!!
MOMZFIYA!

You and your grandpa.
No He has is own. He is the sweetest (so far) He sends me songs at night, He sent me this yesterday before the “Happenings’ went down..
He must have a crush on Nick Young who desperately needs to grow up. He’s a 30 year old man. I’m not sure why he’s hanging with a 20 year old boy like that or still sleeping with teens.
He is actually younger than me by 4 years. LOL.. But he did a Fred Sandford on me and I laugh so Hard!
Awwww
OT: It saddens me to report that our female custodian is chronically musty, smh… BBL…
That’s why I called him grandpa.

It be TOO much to keep up with ON top of my first love…college ball. So yeah. Later for them lmao
We SHOLE is.
you know its home ***cries**** why jen …whyyyyyyyyyyyy
Girl what , just Retardical
….i dont wish this drama on no one, but…im wondering. Did Iggy think that she was an exception to the rule since she is a white chick and ddint have to worry about getting cheated on? WE all know how lots of our men cheat on us with non melanin chicks. Did she think she was safe cause she is white and (because in her mind, our men only want white chicks anyway after they get that big check) … but, the reality is…he cheated..i guess it doesnt matter if ole girl who he laid up with is white or black. N*&^^%s aint shit but hoes n tricks.
Now now
Allegedly Minaj release this. The recorder committed a crime and so is the one that released it. If it’s not prosecutable in criminal and even civil court, then how is it that 50 lost his case as well as in the Erin Andrews (the stalker) and Hulk Hogan (Gawker) situation. She needs to be held accountable too. This is something that can be dismissed because all the players in this are weak minded people. But you can’t dismiss it since it has affected the locker room and the LA Laker organization and in the end, either Nick or Russell will have to go. Most likely Nick who is not that great of a player. He might not get picked up by another team and there goes his career and Iggy will move on to an active baller making big money.
Well in most states recording and individual without permission is invasion of privacy IF THE PARTY THAT’S RECORDING ISN’T APART OF THE CONVERSATION OR ACT
Wow. Interesting point. But the big question is if Izzy has enough brain power to conduct a scheme of this magnitude. I doubt it. Poor lil think think couldn’t save her rap career. ?
D’Angelo Russell is a little boy. I give him props for owning up to the ish in the interview yesterday but he implied that he did not know how the tape got leaked. I honestly think that he sent it to one of his purseholders and they sent it out. Yes Nick was wrong for cheating but that’s HIS business and not the world’s business. People are saying they expect more from a 20 year old but how? Most players are cro-magnon men all they can do is dribble a ball and spread they legs….
I love yall too!! Thanks.
Exactly!! Cheating is wrong but the bigger issue is recording someone w/o their knowledge is ILLEGAL.
Say that!!! ????????
Say that!!! ????????
Y’all Roses hilarious!! ???
Y’all Roses hilarious!! ???
hilarious!! ???
hilarious!! ???
exactly.1 Everyone trying to blame Russell. Nick cheated and got caught. He has no one to blame but himself.
No, apparently Nick is begging Iggy to work things out.
Marcellus wiley is a lakers hater. Nobody cares what his ugly btchmade arse has to say. He is a clippers fan
Yea yea its bigger shît to worry about oh well
The ultimate question I have is this, what was Mr. Russell’s intent when he recorded the conversation?
I personally don’t know of anyone male or female who unbeknownst to the other party, records a conversation without the sole purpose of incriminating the other party. Oh, well this is going to be interesting as it plays out.
That was some hoe shit he did SMH
These the simps y’all wanted instead of real men right? Well here you go…a generation of soft looking and acting males created by y’all so y’all can be equal to them…enjoy.
But how did the blog get it?
Nick cheated got caught now let the shit go.
