After Giving Devin Booker?s Million Dollar Company ?More Light?, ?Sneaky? 27YO Lakers Star Reignites ?Feud? Leaving Sporting World in Fits of Laughter

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors 122-101 in Game 6 of their Western Conference Semifinals matchup. The veteran duo of Anthony Davis and LeBron James was crucial for this win. LeBron James scored 30 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists. On the other hand, Anthony Davis had 17 points and 20 rebounds. Amid the Lakers’ brilliant series win, a bizarre ‘feud’ has captured the attention of NBA fans.

Lakers star D’Angelo Russell has left the NBA world in a fit of laughter after he sparked up a “feud” for promoting Devin Booker’s company worth millions.

D’Angelo Russell’s antics ended up promoting Devin Booker’s company

D’Angelo Russell attended a post-game interview after the Lakers had won against the Warriors in Game-6. Russell scored 19 points in the game, which enabled the Lakers to successfully withstand Dennis Schr?der‘s third-quarter ejection.

Meanwhile, during his postgame interview, Russell sneaked in a bottle of Coco5 drink into the interview. However, the team’s staffer was quick to snatch it away from him because the NBA doesn’t allow the endorsement of unauthorized brands. And Coco5 does not have a deal with the league.

The whole fiasco ended up promoting the product in an indirect way, by drawing attention of the public to it. Phoenix Suns’ Devin Booker is the majority owner of the company.

However, this wasn’t the first time that Russell tried to sneak the drink in.

When Russell was asked to keep aside Coco5 in another postgame interview, he had refused to do so. He said, “It’s my partner. You gon have to fine me.” However, the staffer had snatched the drink away then too, triggering a fan-favorite ‘feud’ between the two.

When asked about this incident, Devin Booker said, “He gave it more light than I would have. It just sat there.”
