Everybody knows they're "padding" his stats, most people just don't care.
I've been critical of Russ too because of it, but still what he does takes an incredible amount of sheer effort. Not to mention, there may not even be any other players who could even pull this shyt off WITH their teammates helping them pad the stats. MAYBE LeBron could do it, MAYBE, but I doubt he's going to put in that type of effort throughout the whole season. James Harden is in the perfect system for him to do this shyt if he wanted to, and he's still a couple of rebounds away from it. Over the last 20 years, maybe Jason Kidd could've done it. The list ain't long, at all.
