Russell Westbrook

His airness has been a little more outspoken lately with his stance on the police shooting issue currently affecting our country and his opinions on the current NBA product. With that in mind, Michael Jordan has named which player reminds him most of himself in the NBA today and it is not who you would [...]

Things between Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant won’t be getting any less awkward any time soon. Durant, be it inadvertently or deliberately, drove a wedge between the two of them when he left the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Golden State Warriors in free agency. That chasm has now only grown in the wake of [...]

Russell Westbrook has been pretty quiet since Kevin Durant left for Golden State. Russ has never been a big social media guy, but we have never received any sort of reaction from him. Until today.

The Thunder, naturally, want a commitment from Westbrook, most likely in the form of a contract re-negotiation. They might settle for his verbal pledge, but the commitment itself is key. They cannot lose [...]

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are giving one another the silent treatment. We know the two talked before Durant decided to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Golden State Warriors. They just haven’t talked since, according to ESPN.com’s Royce Young: Westbrook is taking time not just to figure out his next steps, but also [...]

Some friendly advice: Don’t go purchasing any custom Blake Griffin and/or Russell Westbrook Boston Celtics jerseys just yet. Jahlil Okafor orders are totally fine, though. According to A. Sherrod Blakely of CSNNE.com, the Celtics are more likely to trade for the Philadelphia 76ers’ sophomore than they are two deal for either of the Oklahoma City [...]

Trade Russell Westbrook? Just because Kevin Durant up and left for the Golden State Warriors? Puh-lease. The Oklahoma City Thunder have bigger plans, as evidenced by their decision to rescind Dion Waiters’ qualifying offer.
