Darius Slay feels that people are just picking on D’Angelo Russell because he is a rookie, and that he is only 20 years old.

Actually we feel his age has nothing to do with it, but Darius Slay feels it does, saying on Periscope:

“This young man ain’t nothing but 20 years old.”

“You all acting like he snitched or something. He didn’t even snitch. His phone leaked the video out or something.”

Yet, as Slay continued his rant, he accidentally called Russell a snitch too.

“There are way more snitches out there than just Russell, you (are) all really throwing that (guy) under the bus?” Slay said. “That man (is) 20 years old, you all could ruin that man’s career. That man got a momma to take care of probably, daddy to take care of, brothers and sisters to take care of. You know, you all trying to dog this man like this man probably can’t go nowhere now. You all are eating this man alive.”
