NEW YORK (WFAN) — D’Angelo Russell sees similarities between him and his new crosstown rival, Kristaps Porzingis.
“I feel like we both have young teams, just trying to put the teams back on the map or give them that extra buzz that they deserve,” the Nets point guard told WFAN’s Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts on Thursday. “New York fans want that — the Nets or the Knicks, the Jets or the Giants. Whoever it is, they want that. They want to be able to brag about their teams. I think we’re two young guys trying to bring that back.
