The Russell Westbrook vs Reggie Jackson feud goes to another level

You might have him confused with Durant or Lebron
Not to mention it placed them firmly into the playoffs possibly...he SHOULD have been celebrating. Dudes want dudes to play the lil brother forever...nah cuh...foh.
No way could Durant or LeBron miss the playoffs, no matter who their teammates were, and get the pass he got last year.
I don't know about that. He has been killed several times by the media and always takes the blame over KD
I realize it's only one instance, but Magic Johnson said Russ had 'the worst point guard performance in a championship Finals I have ever seen'
If anything I thought he unfairly took criticism
Like I thought, you are pulling shyt from 2012.
In more recent years we have seen KDs mental makeup and ability to deliver questioned...in the same series that Russ was 0-for overtime.
We have seen Russ miss the playoffs after being up 4 games with 10 left and not a peep.
We have seen Russ shoot 30% in the 4th for a stretch after the all-star game that just happened to coincide with his team taking the league lead for 4th qtr collapses and never once was a correlation drawn.
Now honestly can you see any of that happening with Bron, KD, or now Steph?

Reggie left OKC because he wanted a bigger role and wasn't going to get it and didn't deserve to get it,because of KD and Westbrook.
Reggie is not as good as Westbrook,and I know he believes that but he's not,but he is a good player.
But KD and Russ need to stop acting like Reggie trash,Reggie is nice and actually saved they ass against Memphis in the playoffs 3 years ago

8 seed in the West won 45 games last season, so it wasn't some small feat.
I saw an ESPN feature and pieces written on Russ' 4th Q struggles, so I dunno know what else you want there?
You can disregard the past criticisms if you want, but it happened. Dude was taking the brunt of the blame for OKCs failures and shielded KD imo
So would Bron, KD, or Steph get a pass for it? Yes or no.
I didn't see any of that stuff but somehow I manage to see all the pieces and as well as the numerous reactionary threads devoted to the other players on that level
. How was he shielding KD when he was even more unreliable in the clutch and everybody was only talking about KD?
I'm not disregarding them. I am saying shyt has happened since then and you are the one disregarding that by dwelling on shyt from 2011/2012. That's like me saying Bron is a villain and referencing shyt from right after the Decision, shyt that has clearly changed since then.

They probably acting like that because it was always clear that he didn't want to be there.

I dont see what was wrong with his celebration, it wasn't even excessive

That's such a basic ass stance. Completely ignoring Serge being hurt for all them games and Westbrook missing a bunch of games himself. They had the winning % in games Westbrook played to be a playoff team. So way more complicated than just saying Westbrook missed the playoffs GET HIM.
As far as this thread I usually fukk with Westbrook but he's the wrong one to bytch about something as little as that. He's one of the biggest celebrators in the league and Jackson wasn't even all that extra with it. But the best players/teams are usually the most sensitive. Just like GS bytching about Milwaukee celebrating too much or not liking the shots they were taking.
Would those guys, his peers, get a similar pass in a similar situation? Yes or no.
The overwhelming majority of sports talk is basic as hell. How often are teammates contributions or circumstances ignored to push an agenda or talking point? nikkas have no problem riding with the mob when it's someone they don't like or that they deem "soft" or whatever other pejorative you wanna use. But since it's AlphaRuss it's "
let's look at the whole situation. Let's not attribute his circumstance to him or his mental makeup. It's complicated."If you are consistent with it then
but if you are one of those "bu...bu...but rings", "nikka can't even get past *insert round here*" nikkas then
