On Wednesday, ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins came to the defense of Houston Rockets superstar guard Russell Westbrook.
Houston Rockets star guard Russell Westbrook is one of the most scrutinized players in NBA history, as he’s faced criticized both on and off the court. Westbrook has been described as a ballhog and has been depicted as a player that cares more about accolades and personal milestones than winning championships, which are both erroneous.
Westbrook has also been described as a malcontent and a selfish individual, which couldn’t be further from the truth, based on what we’ve heard from his teammates and based on Westbrook’s efforts in the community.
