Lakers Crowd Begs Russell Westbrook to Not Shoot 3 Pointer In Unbelievable NBA Scenes

The Los Angeles Lakers vs. The New York Knicks was an extremely gripping game. The game stretched into overtime and this was LeBron James’ first game after coming back from his recent injury.

However, things were not so happy for all Laker players. Namely, Russell Westbrook. Westbrook had an extremely bad performance today. He was extremely inconsistent with his shooting and was constantly missing open shots. Consequently, things got so bad that the Laker fans started shouting at him to not take a three-pointer.

Westbrook still proceeded to take the three-pointer. Unsurprisingly, he missed it. The Laker nation is extremely displeased with how Westbrook has been playing ever since he got signed to the purple and gold outfit. The fans dreamed of a championship when they heard that Westbrook would be coming to L.A.

However, all they have gotten till now are memes on Westbrook and shattered dreams. It is important to note that Westbrook is not considered an average player. He was won MVP, All-Star MVP, and has been selected to numerous All-Star and All-NBA teams. This makes the disappointment even greater.
