Brandon Jennings hasn’t forgotten.
The Knicks guard said he doesn’t respect D’Angelo Russell after the Lakers’ young, skilled point guard last year recorded teammate Nick Young confessing he had cheated on his fiancee in a video that later showed up online.
Jennings, the 27-year-old in his first year in New York, was having a Q&A session Sunday with his Twitter followers when one asked if Russell could be an All-Star. Jennings allowed that he’s a “Great Hooper” — caps included — but he doesn’t “respect a snitch.”
Russell, 20, was largely ostracized from the Los Angeles locker room last season after the leak of the video, in which a camera-ignorant Young admits he cheated on then-fiancee Iggy Azalea. Azalea and Young later broke up.
Russell offered a heart-wrenching apology last season. The second-year player got off to a hot start this season, looking to put his drama-filled debut year in the past, which might be more difficult than it would seem.
The Knicks and Lakers meet in Los Angeles on Dec. 11.
