"LeBron James is publicly humiliating Russell Westbrook": NBA Twitter erupts as picture emerges of Lakers star and Anthony Davis ignoring the Brodie's high-five

NBA Twitter obsesses over embarrassing picture of Lakers’ ‘big three’, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook

The time for giving the benefit of the doubt is over. Russell Westbrook’s time with the Lakers can’t last much longer.

To be clear here, the Brodie isn’t a bad player. We have far too big a sample size of his greatness to ever say that. However, his 18.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 7.3 assists, on 43.3% from the field, and 28.4% from three, while shiny on the surface, just isn’t meshing well with the likes of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Moreover, in his last 5 games, the man is shooting just 39% from the field, and 6.7% from three. Now that is terrible.

Heck, this isn’t even just fans anymore. It even seems like Russ’s own teammates have started to disregard him more than a few times now.

Don’t believe us? Well then, you’re going to LOVE a little something NBA Twitter decided to spotlight.

We aren’t trolling here. This actually happened… at least if NBA Twitter at large is to be believed.

Either way, here is the image you decided to click on this article for.

And here is how NBA Twitter reacted to it.

Yeah, we won’t lie. There have been a few instances where Russell Westbrook has been seemingly ousted by the Lakeshow this season.

Still, even with all those times in mind, this REALLY isn’t a good look for anyone involved.

Here’s hoping that Russell Westbrook gets to leave soon. Because we wouldn’t wish this kind of treatment even on the worst of our enemies.
