Russell Westbrook is sick and tired of the media telling lies and putting disrespect on his name.
Last week, a quote from ESPN’s Brian Windhorst was surfacing on the web about how Westbrook handled his exit with former coach Frank Vogel following the tumultuous Lakers season last year.
“Basically what Russ did at the end of that Laker season, was take no personal accountability. … And blamed most of it on his coach Frank Vogel,” Windhorst said.

Russell Westbrook took exception to the comments made about how he treated Frank Vogel.
When someone on social media called out Brian Windhorst for lying about the whole account, Westbrook logged on to throw a “like”.

Despite their well-known pursuit of Kyrie Irving, the Lakers remain saddled with Russell Westbrook and his ridiculously bad contract for next season.
Unless LeBron James and the Lakers from office can pull a rabbit out of the hat (which is entirely possible) in the coming weeks, they’ll have to hope for an improvement out of Russ next season.
Either way, Russell Westbrook clearly has an edge right now, and is done hearing all the storylines.
