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.
Fisher’s fumble caught on national television would not go unnoticed by the trolls. Though netizens saw nothing wrong with it, others called it disrespectful.

You know he let that slip because he’s used to saying it in private conversations.
