What a bunch of crap. Like Russell Westbrook was a choir boy until 2016 and then when the fanbase started to rally behind him, he turned into a comic book like villain.
Doesn't it ever bore you regurgitate this stuff constantly? Imagine being this delusional, thinking that fans can influence players like that. But alas, you can't help yourself.
fans, teams, media can and do influence players all the time. these are human beings, the entire point is that they are not super heroes. the response to kd leaving and westbrook staying, and the entire 2016-17 season set the table.
The guy literally made it his life's mission to not care about what people think. This is not Kevin Durant.
Regardless of that, you're just using that to mask your real take: Westbrook has doomed us all, yada yada yada. We've all heard it before aplenty.
