Bill Simmons recently had some choice words for D'Angelo Russell ahead of his first season with the Dallas Mavericks, and Kyrie Irving isn't putting up with it. On a recent episode of "The Bill Simmons Podcast," Simmons went after Russell, particularly his consistency, by comparing him to a friend who overstays his welcome.
"He’s your buddy that comes to visit and it’s really great when he is only there for one day and by day six you’re like, ah, I’m ready for him to leave," Simmons said. "That’s DLo."
Irving saw an aggregation of this quote on X, and he made it clear that he wasn't a fan of what Simmons had to say.
