Russell Westbrook has been one of the most criticized players in the league over the past few years, despite the point guard’s ability to fill up the stat sheet. That criticism came to a head when Westbrook spent parts of two seasons with the Lakers, playing next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
While the public may be out on Westbrook, some NBA players seem to feel differently. Damian Lillard appeared on the Back on Figg podcast and defended Westbrook from those who believe he is no longer good.
“The fact that people talk on his name and how they be just making him an easy target and a subject, that s*** is just crazy to me,” Lillard said.
