Is D'Angelo Russell a hero or villain? Depends who you ask

So Nick Young allegedly cheated on his fiancee, but D’Angelo Russell is the bad guy for making her aware of it?

As far as the Lakers locker room is concerned, yeah, he is.

Remember, ethics are relative, not absolute.

Russell could simultaneously be a hero to Young’s significant other, rapper Iggy Azalea, and a villain in his own clubhouse.

Never mind that it wasn’t Russell’s place to get involved in Young’s personal life.

As a member of the Lakers, his loyalty should be to his teammates and his interactions with them should be determined by what’s in their collective best interest.
