The Based God Curses D'Angelo Russell, Condemning Him to Ringless Death

D'Angelo Russell's rookie season couldn't have gone much worse. While the No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft showed flashes of potential, he was wantonly benched during crunch time by noted bad basketball coach Byron Scott, who labeled Russell "immature."

Russell compounded those problems in March, when he secretly taped teammate Nick Young confessing to cheating on his fiancée with a 19-year-old he met at a club (among other escapades). When the tape got released, Russell's teammates shunned him.

Remarkably, Russell's season got worse Thursday afternoon when "rapper" Lil B appeared on ESPN's Sports Nation.
