Frustrated Draymond Green and Former All Star Bradley Beal Let Off Their Steam on the Way Russell Westbrook Has Been Slandered This Season

Russell Westbrook has had a rather difficult year with the Los Angeles Lakers. On top of that, the way he has been treated by the media and the fans has been very harsh and undeserved. Several of his teammates and fellow players have come in support of Westbrook and protesters against the way Westbrook has been treated. This time it was Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green and Former All-Star Bradley Beal.

Russ has received a lot of slander this season and things have become heated between him and the fans. Several other NBA players, including Magic Johnson, Stephen Curry, and LeBron James, have come in support of Russ. Now his former teammate Beal talked about how he was as a teammate. He also gave his thoughts on how Russ is being treated right now.

Beal said, “That s–t pissed me off, I ain’t gonna lie, bro. It really frustrated me, especially being a guy who played with him now like the disrespect. God, that s–t got to stop, bro. Gotta stop, because we acting like this man is not a Hall of Famer, first ballot.”

He says Russ’s play may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s winning basketball. Russ may not get you a lot of points. He is a smart player, and he gets rebounds, assists, and helps out on defense. He plays with an extremely high motor and gives his 100% every night. And his former teammate seemed to agree with that.

He also said no matter what anybody is gonna say, ‘Brodie’ is always gonna play the same way. At 100 miles an hour, giving his all-out every night, gets rebounds, getting his teammates involved, comes up with clutch plays, and is a leader. That’s how Russell Westbrook plays.
