Recently, Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell played ambassador or was just a bit delirious depending on your perspective.

Unprovoked, Russell tweeted that he feels Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns is the second best center ‘by far' behind his teammate Timofey Mozgov.

Mozgov has been looking lively on the court in pre-season action after an injury plagued campaign last year.

The comments came shortly after a game which saw Mozgov dunk over Warriors center Zaza Pachulia and block Kevin Durant on a layup attempt.
