Westbrook mad again at being called “Westbrick”

[LAL1947]

I mean a lot of people take pride in their name. No reason for him to be exempt. It's wild to me how so many posters here just completely remove the humanity from the players.

Please save Westbrick from this inhumanatee... and take him to Dallas?

We'll take THJ and Bitwiddie off your hands to say thank you. Won't even ask for a pick back.

[whitehops]

Because it’s accurate. If he had a 60% TS he wouldn’t care if someone called him Westbrick.

i love how he tried to say it was because he didn't want his family name being made fun of. it's clearly because he is struggling to cope with the fact that he's a bad basketball player now.

[Mr.Raptorsingh]

I wonder if he'd appreciate GOATbrook

[BaY AReA NaTiVe]

It’s funny when dudes act like someone wouldn’t say something to their face. Cmon is Russ really going to assault Skip for calling him Westbrick?

A lot of ppl deserve to punched or slapped in the face for being disrespectful for absolutely no reason. The world would probably be a better place.

It's a lot easier to be disrespectful from behind a screen, flippin cowards they are

I agree... Westbrook being one of them

[Jfh20]

the more he keeps whining about ppl sayng it, the more ppl will say it.. does he not get this? he is literally feeding the trolls.

It’s not against the law to call people names, but it is to punch or slap someone for doing so. If you want to assault someone have fun behind bars. My guess is that Russ wouldn’t have the guts to punch anyone who called him Westbrick to his face.

[monopoman]

I have a feeling Skip would say this to his face on TV and if he attacked Skip he would likely be dreaming of the payday he would get from suing him.

Would you take a beating for a few million dollar settlement? I sure would.

Hate it or not, it comes with the territory of being a sports star. We are fans. We cheer, we boo and sometimes we chant Westbrick.

Westbrick is a school yard level heckle. The fact he gets so upset about it, shows how thin skinned he is.

[CIN-C-STAR]

I don’t think it’s that Russ would assault him, it’s that Skip would surely never be this disrespectful in person. People stoop to levels they wouldn’t otherwise, not really about a threat of assault, more a loss of basic decency when behind a keyboard.

You clearly are not familiar with how shameless of a troll Skip Bayless is.
He would happily invite Russ onto his show and call him "Westbrick" to his face and try to incite a reaction, and the more reaction the better because he knows that's ultimately what keeps him relevant and handsomely paid.
Honestly Russ should have just copyrighted it, embraced it, played along with the joke and it would be over by now. Instead he continues to act entitled, trying to police what others say about him and taking zero accountability for his poor play.
In a way, him acting shocked and offended that someone would dare negatively comment on his shooting, albeit in a mildly crass way, only serves to validate Skip's criticism and invites further scrutiny of his play.

[DroseReturnChi]

How dare you skip try to speak that in front of him.

[MagicFan12345]

I always call him Westbrick but he can not handle the truth so he needs to suck it up and accept it

[DreamTeam09]

You guys are losers, grade A losers man. You guys act like it's easy to consistently shoot the ball well. Westbrook hasn't done a single thing to anyone as far as the masses know, always gives it his all.

He's not a good shooter, does that mean he's entitled to passive aggressive retorts from ppl who couldn't do 1% of all the other things on the court. Grade A losers.

He chirps back at the losers and somehow he shouldn't care what other ppl say? this man skip is on national TV and YouTube disrespecting his name constantly and Westbrook is the loser. Chumps, primetime chumps if you agree with that ish

Boo hoo.

I’ll stop saying it when he stops doing it.

Two types of ppl in the world, ppl like you who would do that type ish, and ppl who wouldn't. Simple as that

[xAIRNESSx]

I get calling him that when he has a bad game or stretch but I think Skip is over-doing it.

Feels a little personal and antagonistic.

[tsherkin]

I appreciate what you're saying, but he gets paid a lot of money to be an entertainer. Sports figures have to deal with negativity when they dont perform, especially over extended stretches of time.

Is it surprising or inappropriate that Westbrook doesnt like it? No. Does anyone really care? Also no. He has big attitude and a big contract, so this just comes with the territory.

You forget the third type; those that pretend some kind of moral superiority to make them feel better about their lives; you.

Again, boo hoo.

He makes way too much money to give a **** what a troll says. That said...he also makes way too much money to put up the bricks that he does.

If a surgeon botches surgeries as badly as Russell misses shots...he deserves to be called out, stripped of his/her license.

I don't get paid to put a basketball in a hoop...but if I did, I'd be working harder to make sure I don't embarrass myself like Russ does. If I'm as bad at my job as Russ is at shooting...I'd deserve the criticism and try harder to be better...not clap back like an insecure child.

Making too much money doesn't mean you can't call out someone for being a prick. Doesn't mean blatant disrespect should be acceptable or tolerated.

There's plenty of stats or analysis you can pull up or formulate on your on say that Westbrook can't shoot

What Skip would do on his show in front of a camera is not real life. It’s irrelevant to the point I made.

Spend less time clapping back and being so defensive on social media and spend more time working on your game. Shut up the critics with your actions, not your words. That's true professionalism. And if you show yourself to be thin-skinned...you are inviting others to do the same just to get a reaction. Vicious cycle...don't even engage.

Skip would do it in real life as well and Russ would sit there and take it like a chump. If he hits him he’s in prison.

lol lol moral superiority huh, that's how you look at it. Have a good one.
