"Angry Lakers fans diss their way into Russell Westbrook's Instagram DMs": The former MVP faces the wrath of Lakers Nation for his recent string of poor performances 

Lakers veteran Derek Fisher has a major faux pas on national television. The former point guard addresses Russell Westbrook as ‘Russell Westbrick’.

They say one shouldn’t take social media very seriously. However, former Lakers point guard Derek Fisher seemed to have got carried away. Russell Westbrick, a term coined by veteran NBA analyst Skip Bayless, has become a rage on social media.

Brodie’s debut with the Lakers was a disappointing affair, giving his trolls a field day. The former MVPs tryst with turnovers made matters even worse. Nonetheless, Russ seems to have found his rhythm back, evident from his recent performances.

Having added twelve players to their roster this season, the Lakers are figuring out their chemistry. The purple and gold team is currently 5-3.
