After Former Teammate?s ?Cancerous? Remark About Russell Westbrook, Wife Nina Stands With Gabrielle Union in Unleashing Wrath

During his career, Russell Westbrook has been among the most polarising stars in the NBA. Whether it be his playstyle or attitude, Russ can irk a lot of people the wrong way. However, he remains a cult favorite without a doubt. His energy and passion have long cemented his connection to the NBA fanbase. But, that connection hasn’t always translated to the media, analysts, and critics. One of his primary critics, though, happens to be a former teammate of his from the Oklahoma City Thunder. However, his wife Nina doesn’t take too kindly to the former champion’s comments.

Starting a new journey, she subtly gave away a guilty pleasure of hers, as she sat in conversation with Gabrielle Union.

After bringing in names like Kevin Hart and WWE’s Carmella, Nina chose a name closer to herself for the latest episode. Joining her was recent Hall of Fame inductee Dwyane Wade‘s wife, Gabrielle Union. The two got to discussing every topic under the sun, whether it be related to their beaus or their own careers.

During the course of the discussion, the two revealed a shared source of entertainment. Mrs. Westbrook recalled a story about Gab’s passion for sports. Union wholeheartedly agreed, claiming, “Oh, I’m psychotic.”

While Nina appears calm and collected during games, internally she’s screaming in a bid to find her zen. Gabrielle, on the other hand, goes a different route. “I found my zen targeting Kendrick Perkins…You wanna come with it, let’s come with it.”

Nina was in full agreement. “I love that for you for very many reasons,” she claimed. Of course, the rocky relationship between Westbrook and Perkins remains a heated point of discussion.
