Russell Westbrook's response to whether the Lakers want him there 👀 

Russ couldn't have said this better. he's here to do his job whatever happens after happens.

He handled this question well I hope he finds his home

Great answer to a tough question. Rooting for him this year to silence all the haters , truly.

I don’t like the disrespect they’ve been giving Russ these past years

That reporter was really trying to get cussed out today.

Best response ever!!

Respect this man.

Very mature answers. I love it.

Russ come on it's comeback season. Prove them haters wrong

I'd be like: "HAH, they paying me like they sure want me here" 🤣😭

I'm far from a Russ fan, but this man is a pro indeed.

Great answer. Let the man do his thing lol

What an annoying question. Russell has been so professional through all of this abuse from the public.

Laker media is wild

Russ has grown.

Honest answer 💯

Go Russell !!

Good answer...👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Lebron and Ad should be ashamed of themselves . This man is getting this type of question because they were hurt and he was the only one there . Terrible

All these people calling him westbrick the man's name is Westbrook. Spelling and pronunciation of a name is not hard. The man's family is being threatened. How as people you don't realise the disrespect goes too far ? He's a beast don't get hurt much he plays every game 💯 . He was utilised wrong . L.A. traded for him . Looking to change his game. They have a coach that is making the right changes hopefully with the other players .

Man straight up asked him if the Lakers like him. Media don't respect Westbrick

“Sometimes you’re showing up doing your job and they don’t want you there, as you guys can probably attest to” 😭 Underrated little jab

Russ don't please anyone just do his job much respect brother

I always liked russ I don't care if he lost his skills but his still one of the best players in the NBA right now

He scored on this answer, He was Russell WestBROOK for one time

Great answer

Shock that he didn't say "next question". Stepping in the right direction.

I’ve criticized Russ, rightfully so, for how he handled certain things about last season. But if you’re going to be fair, you have to acknowledge this was a great answer to a hard question.

Love the response

Leave him alone please

TOTALLY the opposite of how Ayton handled his question. Surprised it's Russ as well since he's notorious for being offended with questions like this.

Lakers 2023-2024 NBA Champion 💍💍💍💍💍

😂😂 bodied

Is it just me or does he look more tired than usual

Wow new respect! That was a mature answer for I’m sure something has been on his mind- and he was truthful- he does work hard to the best of his ability- let’s see what his role as a laker will be- that’s managements job not his

Reporter fishing for a headline smh

Let's go WestBRICK!!!!

Can the Lakers please trade this dude! PLEASE! Nobody feeling sorry for a player making 45 million dollars last season and 47.1 million this season! At that price he should be the best player on any team. Tried of all this cuddling and babying . He doesn’t want to be in LA and the majority of fans don’t want him here! It will be the best thing for both sides. Then he can go somewhere and “be Russ”.

Well said

😂 the questions

I'm sorry Russ, I judged you too harshly during the season. You did the best you could.

Next question 🙋‍♂️

They already bought into him.. How did he get there.. smh

JUST WIN A CHIP…Russ!!

Good answer

Man this is a wild question. SMH

King

Lakers need young fresh legs not aging pros whose glory days are behind them.

It does matter if they they want you there Russ!!!!! WTH is wrong with you Russ!!!!!?????

N is dat real answer I say he wudda flip wit dat question

Retire Russ, it's over!!!!!!

he sound hurt, I wish they best for him

Russ is a future hall of famer and plays hard every possession. Any team would be lucky to have him. _-Russ’s former Agent when he tricked the Lakers into buying into trading for him._

How to be a professional

They should’ve kept Malik Monk & traded Russ to Sac with anyone

Y’all trippin if you don’t think LA will make playoffs lmao.

What a crappy question to ask somebody

Russ, do you think the fans want you here??!

They want to see this man beg.

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿☂️

amen ❤️ 🥲 I feel u bruh even dat reporter seems like a hater also for asking a question that way😤

W answer

Poor russ man

I love russ as a player but it’s just not his fit here

Whats the number 6 for?

Respekt

Frl

Bla bla bla but your contract is guaranteed unlike other working men in America Per your quote

His job is to brick shots and have bad turnovers?

This is an example of the sad npc wearing a smile mask meme. Cope
