obvious sellers. Kids, you gotta wear that jersey for him to sign it. Also athletes don't have to sign merchandise all the time, unless it is in events.

Where even is this? I'm all for players signing autographs for fans but there is a time and a place for all that. And this appears to be neither

Currently, one of the most despised players in the league is Russell Westbrook. According to sources, Westbrook may be traded soon with the Lakers struggling this season and sitting in the 13th spot, Westbrook is currently leading a life in which no matter what he accomplishes, people will criticize him.

Russell Westbrook completes 24,000 points

Russell Westbrook set a milestone of scoring 24,000 points in the regular season, yet almost anyone reported on the achievement. He has scored more points than players like Dwyane Wade, Stephen Curry, Larry Bird, Adrian Dantley, and George Gervin. But he seems to be treated with considerably greater disdain than any of these athletes.

Russell Westbrook’s ability to score has been greatly influenced by the fact that he has played on teams that have relied on him to have the ball most of the time. His 32% use rate demonstrates how dependent he was on having the ball in order to be productive.

NBA’s agenda against Russ is getting very nasty, no post for his 24K achievement. https://t.co/ZNLDZXI0PY

Russ doesn’t appear to be returning to the starting lineup for the Los Angeles Lakers any time soon. Given the way that things currently stand for the team which also means Russell Westbrook can always be traded. And with the trade deadline quickly coming, it will be intriguing to see if Rob Pelinka exercises that option.
