The Los Angeles Lakers star point guard D'Angelo Russell has revealed the reason behind his recent success on the court.
The 28-year-old has been one of the star performers for the Lakers in the ongoing campaign. Russell, while talking to the media, stated that he understood his limitations some time back and realised how he could become the best version of himself by utilizing his abilities.
“I realized I'm not gonna get any better as an individual basketball player, I'm kinda just gonna be better at what I do,” he said. “In eight to 10 years in the league, I've learned where my shots are gonna come.
“When I watch countless amounts of film, I see what shots I don’t get, and I find [myself] wasting my time working on them in practice. So, I try to just harp on things that I can control and where I see my shots.”
