So Bron's fake for wanting to upgrade his team substantially? Sounds like the words of someone who at the time couldn't accept his drop off and is deflecting.

Lebron "not knowing a single line from Godfather" immediately makes me question this lol. Its literally one of the most quoted movies ever.

Also LeBron pretends to be a father while pushing his son into the NBA just after a cardiac arrest in July 2023... No father would do that!
Especially when Bronny was already struggling like crazy in college, .366 field, .267 threes, 4.8 points per game.

I mean, Russ would have as good of perspective as anyone that's not biased.

I'm just a fan, on the outside looking in, and I can see the fakeness from here!

So what happens when you're Lebron and you understand that Westbrook isn't working?

Blow up Westbrook to his face? Or stay professional and say the right things until Westbrook is moved?

It is not some kind of news flash that LeBron is full of ****.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Lakers went from being a lottery team with max contract Westbrook in 2022 to Conference Finals berth in 2023 once they traded him. That's how horrible Westbrook was in Lakers locker room that once he's gone, the team finally got a great chemistry they had a successful playoffs run. It should be obvious who's the problem but I can't blame Russ for saying this, he got exposed and only got paid minimum contract since then and It's better to blame the bigger name rather than his shortcomings and attitude as a player especially that old players from his prime era like Bron, Steph, KD, Harden etc. still getting paid max money or close to it while no team wanted Westbrook even for minimum contract until the last minute before new season starts.

Even someone who's never seen it can come up with "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse".

Seriously, who doesn't know the scene where Michael Corleone finds out Fredo is the traitor within his inner circle, confronts and grabs his brother by his black suit jacket, pulls him close, delivers the "kiss of death" on the lips, and whispers:
"It's Wednesday, and on Wednesdays we wear pink".

if my teammate didnt like the way i was playing i'd rather he tell me what he doesn't like and what changes he wants instead of being passive aggressive about it and then pretending he likes me to the public. like just man-up about it lol

Lol, being a professional means you don't air the locker room's dirty laundry for everyone to see.

As far as everyone knows, all this was known inside the locker room as evidenced how often Westbrook tried his best to be effective (and changing his playstyle, to no avail) next to Lebron and AD that season before he was ultimately traded.
