Russell Westbrook on Criticism: 'I've Been Blessed With the Talent to Not Give a F---'

Superior play on the basketball court is apparently not the only talent Russell Westbrook is exercising this season.

Westbrook—who has been consistently called out for his aggressive playing style, shot selection and uncooperative demeanor on the court—adamantly told reporters on Wednesday that he has been gifted with the ability to not care a single bit what people have to say.

"I've been blessed with the talent to not give a f---," the Oklahoma City Thunder star said bluntly. "And I don't, regardless of what happens."

Westbrook has recorded a triple-double in ten straight games this season, passing Wilt Chamberlain for the most in NBA history.
