Russell talked about last season: if you let me play the point guard, I will play the point guard and ask me to score the guard. What else do you want to do if I hit 40% in three points?
Live broadcast on August 3, Russell became a guest of Beverly’s podcasting program, expressing his doubts and dissatisfaction with his positioning in the team last season.
Beverly said that last season was probably the best season for Russell’s projection. Russell’s response seemed a little excited. He said, “but none of them talked about this. This is too embarrassing. What do they want me to do? Beverly!
“They asked me to play the point guard, so I played the point guard, and asked me to score what the point guard wanted me to do. I shot 40% of the three points. What else? Do you still want me to lead the team to win in the last two minutes? What else do you want? I can only remain humble.”
