D’Angelo Russell Talks About Joining the Dallas Mavericks

D’Angelo Russell is back with the crew for a raw, unfiltered conversation on everything from staying in his prime to the mental side of competition, the pressures of pro sports, and what it means to really care about something. From stories about Chris Paul and Devin Booker to reflecting on how his mindset and body have evolved in year 11, this episode goes deeper than basketball.
We talk about athleticism vs. durability, what it’s like being in the spotlight with every move analyzed, and how growing up shaped the way D’Lo loves, competes, and leads today. Whether it’s trash talk during the Backyard Cup, adjusting to aging in sports, or navigating the expectations of the internet era, this pod is full of real moments, laughs, and perspective.
If you’ve ever felt pressure, cared too much, or didn’t know how to care at all — this one’s going to hit.
