“Did they hire someone to watch the Russell Westbrook tapes?”: NBA Reddit Questions the Heat Following a ‘Concerning’ Feedback on Former Lakers Star

Just when we thought that the Los Angeles Lakers could turn their season around after the 5-game win streak, LeBron James and co. have managed to fall further down in a spiral.

Since the 9th January contest against the Denver Nuggets, the Purple & Gold have gone on a 4-6 record, moving one spot down in the Western Conference standings.

Among several other players, Russell Westbrook hasn’t been performing up to the mark. In this 10-game span, Russ has been putting up 19.4 points, 6 rebounds, and 5.9 assists. Yes, the numbers do seem great for a sixth man, however, the 3.3 turnovers per game and the 43.9/26.8/63.9 shooting split are extremely concerning.

NBA Twitter reacts as Russell Westbrook ignores young fans

A recent video went viral on social media where Brodie seemed annoyed and even ignored a young fan’s request of signing a jersey.

Here, have a look at the clip.

As soon as this clip went viral, NBA Twitter heavily criticised the 2017 MVP for his actions.

Is Russ a frontrunner to win the Sixth Man of the Year award?

Making his way from Washington, his first season with the LA-based franchise was pretty obvious that Westbrook needed to play a different role on the LeBron-led LAL.

It seems funny that a guy who has been a multiple-time scoring champ and an MVP is made to come off the bench. However, to his credit, the 9-time All-Star has been fulfilling that role to the fullest.

Leading Darvin Ham’s second unit, Russ has been averaging 15.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 7.5 assists. Yes, the Lakers aren’t winning games, however, Westbrook is a legit candidate to win the Sixth Man of the Year honours.
