Kobe Bryant has spent the whole of his career in the Los Angeles Lakers. He has also played with many teammates throughout his career. Many of his teammates have also become legends like Shaquille O’Neal. He has spent all his time making the most of his time in the league and has left a lasting impression. His last game as a Laker and professional basketball player was sensational, with the Mamba dropping 60 points.

With him retiring with a bang that season, it was a great moment for everyone who witnessed that. In his last seasons with the team, he mostly had a young team alongside who were rising stars. Two of his teammates at that time were Nick Young and D’Angelo Russell. They learned a lot from him and have grown to be mature players. However, these two have a history which might have come knocking back.

Ex-Teammates of Kobe Bryant to meet in the ring?

Kobe Bryant’s ex-teammate Nick Young has been a part of many controversies over time. It’s been a while since we’ve seen him on the court. However, he was seen calling out D’Angelo Russell on a different turf. Nick Young recently called out ‘D’Lo’ D’Angelo to the ring. What had happened was that Nick was on ‘Boxing with Chris Mannix’. Subsequently, he was asked to name an NBA player who he would want to face in a boxing ring.

That was when Swaggy P said that he wanted to face his ex-teammate. To this, D’Lo responded in a bold manner. He said, “My name keep dude relevant, and I’m going to grave with ‘i ain’t do that shit.'”

This seemed like a pretty harsh but serious back-and-forth between the ex-teammates. However, they have a loaded history, which is part and parcel of it.

D’Angelo Russell and Nick Young’s history

This goes back to the year 2016 when both Nick and D’Lo were on the same team. They were quite close at that time. During an off-the-court encounter, D’Lo tried to prank Nick by recording him.

In the video, Nick was seen talking about cheating on his then-girlfriend, Iggy Azalea, the famous Australian rapper. However, the video then got leaked to the public somehow and led to a major feud between them.
