Russell Westbrook, also known as Westbrick, is making too much money and is not worth even a fraction of his salary or per-game check.
Westbrook did not return in Tuesday night’s 131-116 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks after being substituted with just over two minutes left in the third quarter.
And he whined in the way only he could (like the principal in the movie) about that stupid facial mole he should have had removed 10 years ago. uncle buck), come along for the ride.
“To be honest, there’s no need to meet any standards,” Westbrook told reporters. “I’ve put in a lot of effort and earned a lot of respect in this game. I don’t have to hit the benchmark, I don’t have to. I’ve earned the right to round out the lineup.”
“EARNED” is an interesting word choice.
Depending on how you define it, this may be true.
Russell Westbrook will earn $41,358,814 in salary for the 2021-22 NBA season.
Just for fun, divide by 82.
Russell Westbrook (aka Westcock) makes $504,375.78 per game.
Through 48 minutes per game, he earned $10,508 per minute.
But wait – it’s even worse if you’re a Lakers fan, and even better if you like this idiot.
Russell Westbrook will earn $47,063,478 in salary for the 2022-23 NBA season.
My main argument against Westbrook is this:
- What an arrogant person he is.
- How completely unaware of himself he is.
Here’s the quote after being benched after the loss to the Bucks:
“When asked what’s bothering the Lakers this season, Westbrook said, “No. “One” thing we need to get right is “creating consistency within our team that isn’t there right now.”
LOL Before being benched, Westbrook was 3 of 11 from the field and turned the ball over four times in 26 minutes during Tuesday’s loss to the Bucks. before sitting on the bench.
So who can we blame Westbrook for his ridiculous contract that the Lakers can’t trade because they have zero draft picks and zero cap space?
LeGM (aka LeBron James). Also known as Chairman LeBron.
He did it in Cleveland and now he does it with the Lakers. And people let him quit it over and over again like a steroid cycle.
But this is not a LeBron SLAM PIECE. This is the Westbrook SLAM PIECE.
There has never been a bigger statistical fader in history. Russell Westbrook is Minnesota’s black Kevin Love.
What has Russell Westbrook done to expand his game? naught.
It takes an athletic freak like you to be a killer defender to be terrible at every other step.
no.
Rebound, anyone can rebound – except Russ.
His 7RPG is his lowest since 2014.
Do you want to make a free throw? Oh, that’s kind of stupid!
66% is the third lowest in his 14 NBA seasons.
Here’s a novel idea. Developing your midrange game like Kevin Garnett did to extend his career by five years or more. Expand your bag of tricks.
But for that to happen, you’re going to have to actually care. And he doesn’t because of his ridiculous contract.
In his final four games, he has scored 14 of 51 points from the field for a shooting percentage of 0.27%. And this ship isn’t going to be righted anytime soon.
Russell Westbrook is annoying, a cancer, dresses poorly, and only cares about himself.
