Russell Westbrook finds himself increasingly isolated within the NBA sphere, and even within the Lakers themselves. The recent exit of LeBron James, which goes completely against old words of Brodie, is not likely to erase this feeling!
By dint of multiplying the poor performance on the floor, he weighs a little more on his already very low rating with Lakers fans and the NBA community as a whole. The difficult season of Russell Westbrook reached new heights of mediocrity in recent hours, after another disastrous performance against the Wizards, his former team.
Still extremely clumsy, the Brodie ended up being sanctioned by his coaching staff at the end of the match. A new humiliation for him, who has already faced the wrath of Internet users on social networks for a few weeks. All without receiving any real testimonies of support within his team. Including from LeBron Jameswho even went against him in the last few hours!
In the Westbrook/fan beef, LeBron snubs Russ
Author for his part of 50 points this Friday, LeBron landed with a smile at a press conference, without mincing his words. Asked to give the reasons which led him to sign such a card, the King welcomed the support of the public of the Crypto.com Arena. The opportunity for him to come back to the whistles that could have been heard in the room not so long ago, and which, according to him, were legitimate!
The Lakers fanbase knows when bad basketball is being played, and when good basketball is being played. She has the right to answer in any way.
A speech totally opposite to that delivered on the same subject … by Russ, two weeks earlier, after being targeted by boos!
Does it haunt me home? Why would that be? Serious. How far to my house? I have three beautiful children at home. Why would it haunt me there? If they whistle, they just have to stay home. I don’t care about that. It doesn’t affect me at all.
In other words, following the logic of LBJ, Westbrook would be jeered… only because he plays badly!
A decision that comes just days after LeBron’s viral reaction, at the end of the line after a big miss from his leader in the clutch against the Rockets. From there to say that the relationship between the two Angelinos stars is tense, there is only one step, which some will not hesitate to take. And to think that all of this is happening after one of the franchise’s most convincing wins this season!
LeBron James does not share Russell Westbrook’s opinion, and believes Lakers fans are quite capable of whistling players if necessary. No offense to Russell Westbrook, and his criticism of Purple & Gold supporters!
