Last night was first time Stephen A. thought Westbrook didn't deserve to be a Laker | NBA Countdown

The NBA Countdown crew react to the Los Angeles Lakers' loss to the LA Clippers and what's been most frustrating for the Lakers this season.

Russ plays more defense in these press conferences than he does on the court

[OnlyPotatoes]

Westbrook tries so hard to make these reporters look foolish that he’d go against whatever negative they ask. He’s willing to say anything just to look not wrong

[Tae]

We gotta stop this whole, “He doesn’t cheat us with effort.” Nonsense.. Although he may he get boards, it comes at the cost of him ignoring his man on the perimeter. (Specifically from the 3 point line)
He also doesn’t move much on the offensive end when he doesn’t have the ball. That’s not effort and poor IQ at that. I don’t see why every constantly tries to defend this man when he CLEARLY lacks accountability and self awareness.

[acuman.]

The look on his face at the end, like he was so proud that he found a minor technicality in the reporters question that no one cares about. Congratulations Russ, at least you won something that night. 🎉

I can’t believe Bron really picked Russ over derozan & hield. Worst decision he’s ever made & now he’s regretting it. Lakers aren’t gonna even get past the first round.

This is what we called the opposite of a winners mentality

This guy basically said he had no expectations of winning a title

[Hendrixxx]

“I had no expectations, see.. 😉” Bruh what? I’m not even a Laker fan but I’d be extremely pissed hearing that from my “star” point guard.

[arealgoodguy]

6 wins out of their last 22? They're looking like the Los Angeles Knicks right now.

Reggie danced on the Lakers before he went to the club🤣🤣🤣

[adingdingdiiing]

I swear if Kobe was alive, he would call him out for that. That was such a disrespecting thing to say for the purple and gold. And I'm not even a Lakers fan. I want to hear how guys like Kareem and Magic react to this. Because Shaq already said his piece.

[gabooo]

*westbrick shoots the ball
Me: I have no expectation of that going in

[jaayeee]

Reggie talking to his grandkids in 30 years...”You heard of LeBron James and Russell Westbrook? I embarrassed them in the Staples Center. The crowd was chanting my name as I gave them bucket.” 🥶 🥶 🥶

[enriquesinghjr]

Westbrook's answers and behavior when asked tough questions just exudes insecurity to me, he's always ultra-defensive, acting tough, getting upset... but it's all an act that MAYBE he isn't even aware of... it's just like a defense mechanism.

[reygelrobles]

The way these players answer questions makes me miss kobe more. It’s actually a shame that Westbrook has the same mvp count as kobe

[_moegreen]

This guy plays with Lebron and AD and says he didn’t expect to win a title !?!?! Smhh get this man off my team now

[johnpestano]

This is why KD left Russ he's passive aggressive. he doesn't handle criticism well.

[adingdingdiiing]

He's not very bright. That was embarrassing.but he doesn't realize it.🤦

[InvestBetter.]

would Russell Westbrook have any expectations of winning a title?
He's not a winning player. Making the playoffs is an accomplishment for him
Talking to him about winning a title is like talking to him about walking on the Moon!
He told you the truth. Can you handle the truth? I guess not....

[rennbot]

Imagine MJ saying I have no expectations 😂

[Timduo]

Imagine he saying that when Kobe was playing and being on the same team smh.. His attitude ain’t it and I hope lebron call him out on that.
