D’Angelo Russell got exactly what he wanted despite not getting what he wanted.
At the end of his presser, Russell repeated “Coco5” before getting his bottle back and raising it on the way out of the room.
In trying to promote the drink and not being allowed to, the buzz generated from the moment was likely way more than Russell could have hoped for as one video of the drink being removed had nearly 953,000 views on Twitter as of Monday afternoon.According to its website, Coco5 is an “all-natural fruit-flavored coconut water” that comes in six flavors.
Suns star Devin Booker is listed on the company’s website as a majority owner and ambassador, while Russell, the Knicks’ Derrick Rose, Clippers’ Marcus Morris and Mavericks’ Markieff Morris are listed as partners.Jahlil Okafor, who most recently played in the NBA G League, is listed as a strategic partner.
