Some bizarre vendetta against Westbrook by espn. I doubt Daniel comier (noted wwe fan who I’ve never heard talk basketball) watches Westbrook play so espn probably forced this in. Bizarre. Thoughts?

In college wrestling instead of a challenge flag, each coach has a foam brick to throw when they want a review. Some angry coaches (Tom Brands) have been known to throw these bricks directly at the refs face lol

Burns was so scared of the stigma he barely threw a punch all fight.

How and when did this become a thing? Been seeing Westbrook used a lot recently to allude to "meaningless statistics".

Good jab. Westbrook can be made fun of since he's a career loser.

ESPN is extremely pathetic and they've gone after Westbrook harder than KD and Kyrie....which says a lot.

But wow @ that graphic. You can tell it's personal with him.

Burns looked like garbage, looks like he tore his shoulder in training camp or vs Masvidal. He was noticeably smaller too, off-cycle with his roids. What a trash fight overall.

Ppl blaming espn, it’s Daniel Cormier’s keys to the match. He says stuff like this all the time. He doesn’t GAF lol

What does that even mean within the context of an MMA fight? Did he elaborate?

So the idea there is for the fighter not to miss.

Makes sense.
