Point guard Russell Westbrook is one of the most well-conditioned and athletic players in the league, and there’s no doubt that he has always been known for being a consummate professional when it comes to his craft.
One thing that is also known about Westbrook is that he often wears intriguing outfits ahead of games. In fact today, he was wearing a shirt with only one button done up. Charles Barkley hilariously reacted to the outfit, joking that if he had Westbrook’s body, he’d “walk around naked”.
“If I had a body I’d walk around naked”, said Barkley
This is an absolutely wild comment from Charles Barkley, but it makes sense. A lot of people who are in elite physical shape like to show that off, and it seems as though Charles Barkley would do the same.
Russell Westbrook has been stellar for the Los Angeles Clippers in the playoffs, averaging 26.0 PPG, 7.5 RPG, and 7.3 APG. It is clear that he is showing that he can still be a quality starting-level point guard in the league, and it’ll be interesting to see which team signs him in free agency.
Kevin Durant And Chris Paul Have Defended Russell Westbrook Amidst The Criticism
There is no doubt that Russell Westbrook has been heavily criticized during his tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers. Many believed that he was the issue for the team, but he is showing that he can thrive in the right environment. Recently, Kevin Durant and Chris Paul stood up for Russell Westbrook amidst all the criticism he received.
Kevin Durant: “People going to always criticize when you’re successful… Russ has been resilient his whole life…When he retires, people are really gonna tell the truth about how they feel about his game. Right now, it’s a fun thing to do is to make a joke out of Russ. The way he has been playing shows who he really is.”
Chris Paul: “I feel like the only people to do that too is the people who don’t know basketball… Russ is one of my closest friends.”
Hopefully, we see the criticism of Russell Westbrook die down this offseason. He is a hall-of-fame player that still has a lot left in the tank, and he can definitely be the difference-maker on a contending team.
