Indiana Pacers fans love to troll the players of opposing teams. They have done it multiple times this season, most notably during a February game against the Los Angeles Lakers when they chanted “LeBron's gonna trade you!” in a sequence when Brandon Ingram was shooting free throws. Well, they're at it again. In their game against the Brooklyn Nets, they chanted “Hide your cellphones!” at one point when All-Star guard D'Angelo Russell was at the charity stripe.

This was of course, in relation to Russell's infamous incident with his former teammate Nick Young back when he was still playing for the Los Angeles Lakers. Russell, who was a rookie when the incident happened, pranked Young into admitting infidelity. The video went out, and the friendship between both players ended. It was one of the major reasons why Young and his fiancee Iggy Azalea called off their engagement. It was also one of the reasons why the Lakers traded him to the Nets in 2017.

Since then, Russell has shown growth and maturity over the last two seasons, and while his relationship with Young is potentially damaged for good, the same thing can't be said for his career. Although he started slow with the Purple and Gold, he emerged as a potential star with the Nets, as they prepare for a playoff run at the end of this season.

Oh, and by the way, the Nets beat the Pacers 108-96 earlier.
