More often than not, Russell Westbrook opts for brevity in his media sessions, but Wednesday was different.
Before the Thunder jumped on a plane for New Orleans and the final game before the All-Star break, Westbrook was as candid as he’s been all season – maybe ever – about the criticism of his game.
Westbrook is averaging 21.2 points, 11.1 rebounds and 11.2 assists per game. For the third-consecutive season he’s averaging a triple-double. Only one player other than Westbrook has averaged a triple-double for one season (Oscar Robertson), let alone three.
Westbrook is also shooting 41.
