Russell Westbrook is being blasted on the socials by fans after a video of him ignoring a young fan who wanted and begged for an autograph got posted to social media. Fans aren’t happy about Russell’s behavior and they are dragging him in the muddy waters of social media.
According to TPS;
Russell Westbrook had no time to sign an autograph from a young fan.
Recently a video popped up on the internet where the Los Angeles Lakers star could be seen getting out of his vehicle and completely ignoring a kid’s attempts to get an autograph.
Westbrook is infamous for getting into altercations with fans. The nine-time All-Star has had spirited conversations with many fans that has led to him having to be separated before things got out of control.
During this season, Westbrook is averaging 22.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.4 assists, and 1.6 steals per game.
The Lakers are just 23-27 which is good enough for 13th in the Western Conference.
There are some people who feel like the kid was doing it for his parents only to end up selling the jersey on EBAY. Others say that players have no obligation to sign anything.
Where do you stand on this?
The streets are saying Westbrook shouldn’t even be 6th man of the year because of stats like this.
The Lakers aren’t winning his minutes, either. Their net rating dips slightly when he comes on the floor, though that isn’t abnormal for sixth men as so many of their minutes come without their best teammates. What’s more troubling is what happens in the fourth quarter. The Lakers have been outscored by 21 points in Westbrook’s fourth-quarter minutes, but they have outscored opponents by 88 points in the fourth-quarter minutes they’ve played without him. This is part of why he missed the fourth quarter against Boston. His poor shooting makes him a detriment late in games.
