@ninawestbrook / NBA (DR)
After publicly reframing Skip Bayless a few days ago for his comments about Russell Westbrook, his wife, Nina, once again spoke out with a fiery tirade for the Brodie reporters and critics!
For a few hours, he is no longer the only Westbrook who is talking about him within the NBA community. Russ obviously continues to make headlines for his questionable performances at the Lakers, but also sees his wife, Nina, speaking more and more on the networks. A step that she undertakes to react to the incessant criticism that her husband receives, especially from a journalist.
Nina Westbrook talks about her daily ordeal in cash
Directly targeted by one of these messages, Skip Bayless obviously reacted to it on Twitter. If he is satisfied to have seen Nina Westbrook go back on her remarks, and indicate that he did not block her, the analyst of FOX Sports thinks he is only “reporting the truth he sees” when he burns down the Brodie. A response that has no more to the wife of the latter, who made it known with several tweets with striking content!
It is very important to understand the difference between hurling insults and “telling the truth”. It’s even more important when you have a platform and a channel to share your “truths” with millions of people. It takes a certain kind of responsibility. If you’re a public figure, you need to be accountable for the example you set. Unfortunately, you have to keep in mind the consequences of your actions.
A first reframing, followed by a highlighting of her daily life, which has become asphyxiating because of this kind of talk about the leader of the Lakers according to her.
When I see that I am persecuted daily because of basketball games, and that I receive obscenities and death threats for me and my family because you speak your “truth”, it is difficult for me to be d agree with that.
Nina Westbrook therefore clearly does not validate the behavior of Bayless, or other journalists who dare to attack Russ violently, which leads to immense and regrettable repercussions on her and her loved ones.
I don’t do the things I do to get attention, generate clicks, or for show. It’s not a game for me. Basketball is a game. Here, it’s my life, the life of my children, and that of my family that we’re talking about. Shaming someone for any reason is never the solution.
If she finally affirms that she does not have to defend her man, who is big enough to do so, she nevertheless hopes that no one else will have to endure what she and her family have been suffering for a few months.
My wish is that the incredible and talented players who come after him won’t have to be subjected to this kind of humiliation, insults and public judgment, just for playing the sport they love. .

Particularly uplifted, Nina Westbrook therefore wanted to share this poignant testimony, which illustrates the excesses that basketball and its media coverage can cause. A tirade that must be 100% validated by Russ, who is also certainly very affected!
