D'Angelo Russell throws major shade at Lakers' culture while praising Nets
It's hard to imagine the Nets doing something markedly better as an organization than the Lakers. D'Angelo Russell feels otherwise. The current Mavericks guard took a jab at the Lakers' culture during his early years with the team while praising how much his time in Brooklyn shaped him as a player whose maturity was questioned early in his career. Advertisement 3 Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell celebrates after hitting a 3-point shot during the second half of a game against the Nets on Tuesday, March 1, 2016. AP Russell spent two stints with the Lakers, the first after being drafted second overall by the team in 2015. He lasted just two years, in which Los Angeles went a combined 45-99 under coaches Byron Scott and Luke Walton, before being traded to the Nets for Kyle Kuzma and Brook Lopez. He appeared to blame his lack of success during those seasons on the Lakers not teaching him what it meant to be a pro. Advertisement 'The organization of Brooklyn is different,' Russell said while speaking with Dwyane Wade on the Wy Network on Tuesday. 'It's unlike any other. The performance, team, coach — everything about Brooklyn is different than what you would expect. And I've been around the league, where I came from the Lakers, where the structure is not the same.' 3 D'Angelo Russell speaks with Dwyane Wade. @wynetwork/X The former Montverde star admitted that he used to approach the game — when he was 19 and 20 years old — in a way that was nonchalant. That changed when he got to the Nets, playing two seasons under coach Kenny Atkinson. Advertisement Russell made his lone All-Star team in Brooklyn during the 2018-19 season as he averaged 21.1 points and seven assists. The Nets went 42-40 and made the playoffs for the first time since 2014-15. 'Then I got to Brooklyn, where it's all structure, and it taught me how to be a professional,' Russell said, stressing the word professional. 'I always approached the game to where I was nonchalant, and I felt like I could just wing it. They taught me how to be a professional, how to sleep, how to eat, how to recover.' 3 Nets guard D'Angelo Russell reacts after he sinks a game-winning 3-pointer during a 2018 game. Anthony J Causi He is about to start his 11th season in the league, which includes second stints with the Nets and Lakers. Advertisement Russell signed a two-year, $11.6 million contract with the Mavericks in the offseason and joins a team that has Anthony Davis and No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg. 'That's why I'm still playing to this day,' he said of his time with the Nets. 'I'm not a guy that's athletic, I had to take care of my body, I had to recover, I had to eat the best way. I couldn't just show up. And that's what Brooklyn really taught me.'

Clarendon Hills is heading to the Little League World Series
The village of Clarendon Hills is celebrating after their Little League team won the Great Lakes Regional Final and is now on their way to the Little League World Series. Through every cheer and every tense moment of Wednesday night's game between Illinois and Ohio, Donna Mittlestadt watched at the Open Door Taproom and Bottle Shop with what felt like the rest of the Clarendon Hills community. "My son, one of my three sons played little league here in Clarendon Hills. And we have a little cousin who is on the team, Luka," she said. Family, friends, even the players' fifth grade teachers Julie Hafner and Lynn Marquardt came out to support the team in this make-or-break showdown. "Even getting to this championship game after losing to Ohio on Monday, I just want to show them who we are," Hafner said. Parents at the game in Indiana said the boys have put so much hard work to get to this point. They cannot thank their coaches and manager Brian Herold enough. "For the kids this is another game, for the coaches and parents this is nerve wracking," Herold said. Herold said his players have been facing teams who come from big cities with populations around 300,000. Clarendon Hills has a population of 9,000, so to find 12 talented young men has been a blessing, he said. "We knew we could end up in the championship game, so we preserved some of our pitchers. And it was a lopsided game, so I think based on the lopsided result they think they have us tonight," he said. And he was right. A bottom of the sixth strike out sealed the deal. Illinois beat Ohio 9 to 4. "Anytime something like this happens everyone in Clarendon Hills just rallies together," Hafner said. The Clarendon Hills team now heads to Williamsport, Pennsylvania, the birthplace of Little League baseball. They leave at 7 a.m., and this community will be right back here, cheering for them all the way. The Little League team in Elmhurst went to the World Series in 2023 but did not win. The team will spend 10 days practicing twice a day until they play.

Ohtani Ks 8 and slugs homer for 1,000th hit, but Cardinals rally past Dodgers 5-3
Shohei Ohtani homered for his 1,000th career hit and struck out a season-high eight in four innings on the mound, but the St. Louis Cardinals rallied late to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-3 on Wednesday. Jordan Walker had three hits for the Cardinals, including an RBI single off Alex Vesia (2-1) that tied the score with two outs in the eighth. St. Louis took a 4-3 lead on the same play when rookie third baseman Alex Freeland made a costly throwing error while trying to get Walker at second. Lars Nootbaar added a run-scoring double off reliever Brock Stewart in the ninth. Walker was a late addition to the starting lineup. He replaced Willson Contreras, who had a stomach bug. JoJo Romero (4-3) earned the win with a scoreless inning of relief. Riley O'Brien got four outs for his first major league save. Ohtani allowed one run and two hits in his eighth start this season. He struck out the side in the fourth. The two-way superstar didn't pitch in 2024 while rehabbing from elbow surgery, though he helped Los Angeles win the World Series with an MVP season at the plate. Ohtani launched a two-run shot in the third, putting the Dodgers ahead 2-1 with his 39th homer of the year. They added a run in the fourth when Andy Pages stole third and scored on a throwing error by catcher Pedro Pagés. St. Louis cut it to 3-2 in the sixth on an RBI groundout by Nootbaar. Ohtani gave up his first stolen base of the season when Walker swiped second in the third. The Dodgers got the leadoff man aboard in five straight innings, including Ohtani twice. The Cardinals did the same over the last four innings. Cardinals rookie Michael McGreevy (3-2, 5.08 ERA) starts against Matthew Boyd (11-4, 2.34) and the visiting Chicago Cubs on Friday night. Dodgers LHP Clayton Kershaw (5-2, 3.29 ERA) pitches against Toronto RHP Max Scherzer (2-1, 4.39) on Friday in a matchup between members of the 3,000-strikeout club.
