Russell Westbrook: If we win a championship, cool. If we don’t, I’m OK with that too. life goes on

[goatmane]

Russ reminds me of Allen Iverson, wanting to win but wanting to win on his terms,” one Eastern Conference executive told ESPN. “If he can take a step back and win in L.A., it will validate everything else he’s done in the league.” Westbrook, when informed of the Iverson parallel, pushed back.“I disagree for multiple reasons,” Westbrook told ESPN. “No. 1, I believe that I am a one-of-a-kind player, and I respect Allen and respect everything he’s done for the game, but I’m not comparable to Allen Iverson by any means. No. 2, is that I’ve been probably — I feel, myself — always trying to fit in to do the best for the betterment of the team. And I’ve always done that in my career, and I’ll continue to do that and whatever happens, happens. If we win a championship, cool. If we don’t, I’m OK with that too and life goes on.”

Ain’t that the truth. The Lakers would be 22-3 if you swapped in AI for Westbrook...

I lost respect for Russ. He supposed to be the ultimate competitor, guess all that was acting.

The article was throwing shade at him with that iverson comparison…but Russ didn’t need to do it either. If I remember correctly AI came to his defense when people were shytting on him a few years back.

That was a weak response by Russ.

AI actually carried his team to the finals, Russ never got out the 1st round leading the Thunder.
