NBA season is fast approaching, which means it's time for Ohio State fans to gather in prayer circles to ask for D'Angelo Russell's divine protection from Kobe Bryant's legendary surliness and the ineptitude of coach Byron Scott and owner Jim Buss.
The man they call 'Silk,' is a Los Angeles Laker these days, and he's already sharing SI covers with the iconic Lakers figure.
