seems like Stephen A was doin his usual trolling

Russell Westbrook responds to Stephen A Smith’s criticis

“And here’s the thing about Westbrook’s big night: I don’t give a damn about any of it,” Smith said on Tuesday, per Yahoo Sports. “Because the Wizards aren’t very good. They’re not going anywhere. You’re 17-28 in the Eastern Conference for crying out loud. You’re not going anywhere, and this isn’t the first time Russell Westbrook has played on a team that has fallen short.”

Smith continued, “If Russell Westbrook was a better 3-point shooter, could you imagine what he would’ve done? I’m here to tell you he would’ve won a championship by now.”






“So… how tiring it is to be minding your own business and have notifications pop up on your phone about people being negative and hating on your family,” Nina Westbrook wrote on her Instagram Stories in response to Smith’s commentary. “There are several things wrong with what @stephenasmith says here.”








“I was a champion once I made it to the NBA.”
After a slow start to the season, Russell Westbrook has been on a tear lately. Over his last 20 games, he’s averaging 24.6 points, 11.7 assists and 11.1 rebounds. Over his last three games, he’s averaging a ridiculous 25.6 points, 16.0 rebounds and 15.0 assist. The only other player to have a three-game stretch averaging at least 25, 15 and 15 is Wilt Chamberlain.

Basketball discussion is the worst by far of all the major sports. It’s so low Iq

People who cover the NBA actually hate the NBA

Reminds me when @Buckeye Fever's Wife rode for @Buckeye Fever when he got backlash for that 5th grade game. Black love Black excellence

Well when you look at it from Russell's perspective, I guess he has a point. In terms of the bigger picture.

What SAS said isn't a lie..... numbers don't mean shyt if you don't win. That's exactly what I said yesterday about players in the NBA putting up empty numbers on losing teams.

He's also proving the point about what a lot of us have been saying pertaining to "ring culture" when he brings up Russ lack of championships.

Stephen A isn't wrong. Westbrook's game elevates nobody.

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

That was a real ass response by Russ.

Stephen A Smith is the worst. He’s basically a wrestler cutting promos every morning. Mothafukka don't analyze shyt, just runs his mouth.

I know that nikka is staring blankly at his computer contemplating life after that line.

They just do it for a paycheck like the most of us in our daily lives.

The expectation that Russ was going to change the Wizards into contenders is entirely media driven. In DC all we want is for the team to play hard and have a long term plan to get better and keep our key guys.

Discounting what Russ is doing while salivating over Beal and trying to figure out how to move him to LA is everything wrong with NBA culture.

That's the strangest part about it. For some reason, Russ is getting all the blame for the teams failures, while Beal is seemingly getting off scott free of blame as well.

They both deserve criticism for what's transpiring, yet we all know why it isn't happening that way.

I hate it cause it gets to the point where it’s not about the topic. It’s about being right no matter what.

(Russ padded stats really don’t mean anything. It just means the team is built around him getting stats not winning championships)

I feel what Russ was sayin...but it's just basketball bro. Stephen A didnt cross any lines or make shyt personal. The shyt he said about Lebron back in the day? That shyt was personal...when he wrote an Article back in the day shytting on AI calling him an alcoholic? That was personal. Him and big dawg Robinson almost coming to blows? That shyt was personal. Hell even that shyt he said about Kyrie earlier this year was way worse.

But ay...the man's wife is a riderPlus women can't separate that basketball shyt. That's personal every single time to them..
