Russell Westbrook, aka Westbrick, makes FAR an excessive amount of cash and isn’t price a fraction of his wage or per sport examine.
Westbrook was subbed out of Tuesday evening’s 131-116 dwelling loss to the Milwaukee Bucks with simply over two minutes left within the third quarter and by no means returned.
And he WHINED about it like solely he can, with that silly face mole he ought to’ve had eliminated 10 years in the past (just like the principal in Uncle Buck), alongside for the trip.
“I shouldn’t should hit any benchmark, to be trustworthy,” Westbrook instructed reporters. “I’ve put quite a lot of work and I’ve bought quite a lot of respect on this sport. I don’t bought to hit a benchmark, or I shouldn’t should. I’ve earned a proper to be in closing lineups.”
“EARNED” is in an fascinating phrase selection.
Could be proper relying on the way you outline it.
Russell Westbrook will make $41,358,814 in wage in the course of the 2021-22 NBA season.
Only for funsies, divide that by 82:
and Russell Westbrook aka Westcock makes $504,375.78 PER GAME.
Through 48 minutes per sport, he makes $10,508 {dollars} per minute.
BUT WAIT – It will get worse in case you’e a Lakers fan, higher in case you love this dork.
Russell Westbrook will make $47,063,478 in wage in the course of the 2022-23 NBA season.
My primary level of rivalry with Westbrook is both:
- How smug he’s
- How utterly self UNAWARE he’s
Like this quote after getting thrashed by the Bucks, benched:
“Westbrook, when requested what has ailed the Lakers this season, stated the “No. 1 factor” to appropriate can be “creating some consistency inside our workforce, which we don’t have in the meanwhile.”
LMFAO! Earlier than getting benched as a result of he SUCKS, Westbrook was three of 11 from the sector and turned the ball over 4 instances in 26 minutes throughout Tuesday’s loss to the Bucks – earlier than getting benched.
So who can we blame for Westbrook’s ridiculous contract that the Lakers can’t commerce away as a result of they’ve ZERO draft picks and ZERO cap house?
LeGM aka LeBron James. Aka Chairman LeBron.
He did it to Cleveland, and now he’s doing it to the Lakers. And other people preserve letting him get away with it, identical to his steroid cycle.
However this isn’t a LeBron SLAM PIECE – it is a Westbrook SLAM PIECE.
There has by no means been a much bigger stat-padder in historical past. Russell Westbrook is the black Kevin Love in Minnesota.
What has Russell Westbrook accomplished to increase his sport? NOTHING.
When you’re going to suck in any respect different phases, an athletic freak like you need to be a killer defender.
NOPE.
Rebound, anybody can rebound – besides Russ.
His 7 rpg this szn is lowest since 2014.
Make free throws? Un, nerp a dirp!
66% is third lowest of his 14 NBA season.
Right here’s a novel thought – develop a mid-range sport like Kevin Garnett did to increase his profession 5+ extra years. Broaden your bag of methods.
However to try this, he’d have to truly care. And he doesn’t due to his ridiculous contract.
In his final 4 video games he’s 14 of 51 from the sector for a cool .27%. And this ship just isn’t getting righted any time quickly.
Russell Westbrook sucks, is a most cancers, clothes horribly, and solely cares about himself.
