D'Angelo Russell isn't worried about criticism because LeBron James and Jesus also get criticized

D'Angelo Russell had another rough game in the Los Angeles Lakers' loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, scoring 8 points on 10 shots while turning over the ball twice (although he did have 5 assists). It was Russell's second poor game in as many nights, and the rookie point guard was not happy with his effort.

"I know what I'm capable of, so when I don't perform that way I'll always be hard on myself," Russell told reporters after the game. After thanking Lakers head coach Byron Scott for not holding his struggles against him, Russell explained how he is able to take criticism of his play in stride.
