In an interview on Podcast P with Paul George , Randle reminisced about a particular incident during his rookie season when Bryant called out his Lakers teammates for being "soft as Charmin" and "trash," claiming they were hindering his own progress in practice.

Despite the hype surrounding the matchup, Russell revealed that he has no relationship with Randle, nor does he have many friends in the NBA .
