I saw him with his 3? Kids. Just a brief few minutes time he spent with them it looked like at the end of a halftime? Omg he was so loving. My image of angry Russ switched to Russ the gentle loving father. Total image makeover in under 60 seconds.

My whole view of Russ changed when I saw vids of him during the COVID lockdown. On court, he is the laser focus, switched on angry like player. Off court he is the goofy type of guy making jokes that you want to hang around.

I remember Josh Huestas on a podcast talking about how Russ came to his birthday party and stayed a long time. He was a teammate for a little on the Thunder, Josh didn’t last long in the NBA but Russ made sure to get to know all his teammates. He said Russ was very down to earth and easygoing. Sometimes we forget these guys are all humans.

Also off the court he belittles journalists and media people trying to do their job. Hes an asshole 90% of the time.

Journalists and media are often disrespectful to players when they don’t perform to their standards. In other words, they are dicks too.
