D'Angelo Russell has been at the Los Angeles Lakers training facility preparing for his rookie season, a season in which he believes the Lakers can "definitely" make the playoffs. However, even the most prepared players have to take a break sometimes, and Russell decided to do what most of you are probably doing this Saturday: watch his alma mater play NCAA football. Via the Ohio State Basketball Program's official Twitter account, Russell and several other famous Ohio State basketball alumni were in the house to watch the Buckeye's 38-0 beatdown of Hawaii on Saturday afternoon:

If some of that level of dominance can rub off on Russell, maybe his playoff talk and confidence in himself to win Rookie of the Year won't sound so crazy after all.
