Three time All-Star Russell Westbrook and the press will never be ‘buddy-buddy’, of that you can be sure. He has infuriated and frustrated them throughout his career and after an impressive 127-115 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Friday, January 16th, Westbrook was at it again.

After completing a stellar triple-double comprising of 17 points, 17 assists, and 15 rebounds, the media was all over him like an ant at a picnic only to face monotone and repetitive responses from the talented three time All-Star. This is the post-game interview that left reporters so miffed:
FANTASY FURNACE 
I don’t care whether Russell has anything to say or not- rude as his behavior is. However…if he shows up in a television studio when his playing days are over, I’m crying foul.

I don’t think you’ll have much to worry about K-Man.. I can’t see anyone reaching out to Westy for an interview when his career is over. Unless of course they’re a chicken, in which case you can cry ‘fowl! 😏

There has been some terrific play from several of the NBA’s high-profile point guards this season . On the other hand that smell emanating from within the league has been the New York Knicks’ stinking up the joint . A sixteen-game consecutive losing streak has a way of making a team look bad while putting a massive dent in Phil Jackson’s ego and legacy . What a frigging waste of space as an NBA franchise !

By now you’d think the media wouldn’t waste their time with someone like Westbrook… yet on the Flipside …some of the questions that they ask …well I could understand why some players act the way they do … by no stretch of the imagination am I condoning rudeness.

The print media and news’ media in general as it relates to the NBA will always be in search of a story to drive the needle .
