I know this is a basketball based video but there's also lots of rumors that Russ had a very high GPA throughout high school, somewhere between 3.9-4.0. I feel like that adds to his greatness as he was able to stay a competitive baller and kept his grades up at the same time.

Now you know why Russell plays with a chip on his shoulder. He even said in an interview that he plays with a chip on his shoulder, but never went into detail why. I guess this explains it. Also explains why he plays like there's two people inside one body. He has an relentless motor.
