Russell Westbrook airballs corner three as Anthony Edwards is in disbelief
Within a good system, Russell Westbrook has proven he can play for a contender. Early in his run with the Thunder, he and Kevin Durant led the team to its first ever NBA Finals appearance. However, from that moment since, Russell Westbrook began a gradual decline. This time span has seen Westbrook become the Thunder’s franchise player, win an MVP, and the franchise attempt a “Big 3.”
When that ended, Russell Westbrook was traded to the Rockets. Reuniting with James Harden, Westbrook was now playing the sidekick. During the OKC days, Harden was the third option, leading the Thunder’s bench. Since joining the Lakers, Russell Westbrook has struggled to find his position. As a result, everything he does seems to be wrong.
Russell Westbrook, like the rest of the fans and the Lakers’ organization, sees the season is over. Now he is out there playing for his legacy. As the games go on, Russell Westbrook takes a bigger hit. When they played the Minnesota Timberwolves, Westbrook went for a corner three pointer.
