On Sunday (5 p.m.) Oldenburg will play against Alba Berlin. WELT TV and sportbild.de will broadcast the game live and free of charge.
Even then, his mother Terri will sit in front of the television again. Russell to BILD: “She follows every game of mine live. We set up a VPN connection for her specifically for this purpose.”
BBL star Russell: Seven messages from mom – during the game!
But Terri doesn’t just watch her son’s games. She literally lives it. Russell reveals: “She writes me at least seven messages on WhatsApp during every game. She knows I won’t be able to read it until it’s over in the cabin. But she doesn’t care.”
And what does she write to him?
The American (1.80 meters): “Everything that strikes her at this moment. She reacts to scenes in the game.”

Any examples?
► “Why are you trying zone defense?”
► “You lean too much to the left when you throw!”
► “You’re trying too many threesomes!”
► “Your opponent has a weakness on the left side.”
► “Great game today!” or alternatively “Played crappy today…”
Terri has also been to Germany to see her son in action. Since then she has had a clear aversion to a BBL team.
Russell: “She can’t stand Ludwigsburg at all. She came all the way from the USA – and then had to see how we were eliminated from the playoffs against them. Since then she has constantly complained about Ludwigsburg…”
“Don’t be like that!” Naked party in Bavaria?
