Westbrook rejects critics after series loss

OKLAHOMA CITY -- After a contentious series against the Trail Blazers that ended in another first round elimination and what some perceive as a dent in his reputation, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook shrugged off criticism on Thursday.

"If you want to determine my career and what I've done over two, three games, you go ahead," Westbrook said during his end-of-season exit interview with the media. "That don't mean s--- to me. It doesn't. I'm going to wake up, like I told you before, three beautiful kids, I'm going to wake up and smile, be happy, enjoy my life.
