Russell Westbrook

Russell Westbrook has been the most criticized and trolled player so far in the season. As everyone from the fans, commentators, analysts and even the rivals aren’t missing any chance of taking a shot at him. Russell Westbrook this offseason joined the Los Angeles Lakers since LeBron James and Anthony Davis personally recruited him. But the reality has been very different and disappointing if compared to the expectations the signing drew. Russell Westbrook is having one of his worst seasons ever with the Lakers. As his game especially individual performance is down on every aspect needed for a guard to get the job done.

Recently, the Minnesota Timberwolves hosted the LeBron James-led Los Angeles Lakers at Target Center. The game was closely contested and head to head but the Wolves got a good lead in the first quarter itself which eventually sold the game for the Lakers. The final box score stands at 124-104 favoring the Minnesota Timberwolves. A 20 point embarrassing blowout loss for the Lakers Nation. Currently, the Los Angeles Lakers are ranked as the seed in the western conference with the record of 29 wins and 40 losses at .420.

Russell Westbrook in the game had 15 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. He is shooting horrible since the All-Star break. As in the last ten games, he has only made 8.7% of the three-pointers attempted. In the match-up against the Minnesota Timberwolves, he made it to the headlines as an airball from his side while attempting a three-pointer had Karl Anthony Towns and Patrick Beverley go mad witnessing it.

In the fourth quarter with three minutes and fifty-six seconds remaining a time out was called after Russell showcased his horrible shooting from a wide-open corner shot. LeBron James passed the ball to him while Austin Reaves setting up a screen stopped two defenders and Brodie just air-balled the shot. The ball was at least a foot far from the basket. As it landed straight into Karl Anthony Towns’ hand as he started looking towards the rim to check if it was placed right as he trolled Russell Westbrook. On the other hand, Patrick Beverley while passing the ball back towards the ref threw it up to dodge it and get a piece of the jokes everyone had for Russell Westbrook.
