OKC Thunder: Dropping the negative narrative around Russell Westbrook’s game
We are now in All-Star weekend, and OKC Thunder’s Russell Westbrook is still taking heavy criticism for his style of play, but people need to realize the success lying behind his triple-doubles.
Sitting 57 games into the 2018-2019 season, the OKC Thunder are playing their best basketball since the departure of Kevin Durant. Yet, Russell Westbrook still takes criticism for his game.
It’s no secret that Westbrook is having trouble with shooting this year, but that does not negate the fact that he is averaging a triple-double for the third straight year. Despite a decline in Field Goal percentage, he has shown improvements and adjustments in every other offensive category.
