    First off the death threats is wrong. I knew Westbrook would make this a problem because he’s so sensitive. Ever placed he’s played he’s had this problem. Why are u even listening to what they are saying, you should be playing basketball. Bye Westbrick

    Magic: you cheated the Lakers by catching a disease and risking other players in the “no blood – no foul” era then retiring early. Westbrook hasn’t gotten caught up with any type of stuff… Far too often a person that isn’t liked catches a raw deal. Laker nation isn’t a real thing & neither is the media & I can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt; EVERYONE watch SPORTSCENTURY on Kareem-Abdul-Jabaar… He got shifted on from beginning to end and he did everything right!

    Westbrook averaging 17/7/7 and his FG% and TO are right on par for his career. He’s just getting too much blame because Prince James is losing 😂

      Princess James always gets away with it and is scapegoating Westbricks

    She a good strong black woman. She’ll defend her man viciously and will stand by him. Nothing wrong with that……

    I just didn’t want to be hater, but I knew his success was just because of the main stream groupies that used to make excuses for him

    Forget about anymore Russ or Lebron drama “winning” solves any issues specially in a bball Mecca.
    Now let’s talk about Grinch Molly.

    Ugh Stephen a sucks as usual – shame on Westbrook for acting mentally mature enough to not let the highs and lows of bball creep into his personal life. I feel bad for rus bc they lied to him / he was told he was gonna get to come to LA and be a weapon for LeBron and AD’s team with the potential to get a ring…. But ya instead he’s had to go out there with a team that LEBRON HIMSELF HAS TROUBLE CARRYING FOR WINS (and lebrons been with those bums for several years) and LeBron and AD aren’t even in uniform… but rather than let the fan base see the flawed franchise for what it is and treat rus like he’s going out there with a g-league version of the team, they’ve put all the blame on him like this mess is somehow his fault. ESPN is such a drama pushing network with building narratives that are completely speculative about players and manipulating the fans feelings, so annoying

    Well, what you expected? You wear number 0, that’s what it is. Zero!!

    Death threats are nothing new in the public forum. From politicians to actors, musicians and especially athletes. 99.9% are not credible and people blowing off steam. NO, I’m not condoning it, just saying what it is.

    I personally feel it’s an exaggeration to create a distraction because he doesn’t know how to humble himself drop the ego and admit he needs improvement on his game. I don’t agree with Stephen A Smith most of the time but he’s 💯 with his comments. Russell has said one to many in those press conferences! Dude just comes across as arrogant and unlikeable and he’s not that type of player to be acting that way. He’s the highest paid player on the roster right now and they effort he’s giving ob the court is disrespectful to the organization and the fans.

    PS: Shut the haters up=PLAYING BETTER!

      Mans could use the help of psychedelics in the right set and setting to dissolve away at that ego

    What they said. No excuse to threaten him or his family. That being said taunting and making fun of his game is fine. If you’re a pro athlete or celebrity you gotta have a thick skin and take some heat.

    Like people haven’t been calling LeBron “LeBum” and “LeChoke” forever. And LeBron is one of the goats.

    Bros gotta get over it tbh. It’s just a little heckling, and it’s accurate because he’s an absolutely terrible shooter
