    Russell Westbrook is different than everyone thinks. He really is a team player! And does whatever the owners and GM’s and Coaches ask. If you think he is attacking too much ask who told him to be that way. He is fulfilling his role given. Ask Billy Donovan and Sam Presti about it. Anyone ever seen the advance stats metric about deep paint. Just saying. It’s designed that way. OKC native over here.

    Ryan Hollins actually a good analyst. Knows his stuff on basketball and doesn’t spew bullshit, speaks facts

    Westbrook’s effort is insane. Every single game. He goes so hard some nights I’m worried his heart will pop in his chest and he’ll just drop. When he shoots free throws he takes a big deep breath like he’s trying to calm down but doesn’t know how. That style of play is so different from any champion ever that it makes you feel that he cannot win a chip. Even if he never wins a chip he will be in the HOF and be one of the greatest to ever play basketball.

    I’m calling it right now. He won’t be passing it like this in the playoffs. He might do it when his team is winning but they’re down in the series, Westbrook is going to dig the Thunder’s grave even further. He’s going to be taking 40 shots a game just like he did in game 5-6 against the Jazz.

  16. P Sports Reports

    February 14, 2019 at 9:08 pm

    Nope not at all. Westbrook always been like that and look at his stats.
