The two major controversies surrounding Russell Westbrook in recent days are the death threats of fans against Westbrook's family, and Westbrook's antipathy to fans' jokes about their names.
The first is the topic of death threats from fans against the Westbrook family, which has clearly caused a heated discussion and everyone is condemning fans who commit these "cross-border" behaviors. After the Lakers lost to the Spurs, Wei Shao talked about his wife's tweet:
"I'm 100% supportive of my wife, and as for basketball, I don't mind criticism over mistakes and shooting issues, but that's a problem when those criticisms make my name shaming the moment."
Lakers legend magic artist Johnson expressed his support for Wei Shao on social media:
"Russell has a big role to play in the Lakers and he will be a key part of the rest of the season and the team's success in the playoffs, let's do better, unite around the Westbrook family and I'll support them."
In addition to Magic Johnson, Lakers player Kent Bazemore also expressed support for teammate Westbrook:
Not only that, Spurs player Dezhangtai Murray also talked about Wei Shao's experience on social media and expressed his support for the latter:
So far this season, Wei Shao's overall efficiency performance is indeed a big problem, he only has 43.3% shooting percentage, only 28.2% of the three-point shooting rate outside the three-point line, and even the free throw shooting rate is only 66.5%, of course, these can not be the reason for fans to threaten Wei Shao's family. It's just that for the Lakers, if Westbrook still can't find a way to play an efficient performance, even if the team can barely break into the playoffs, it will be difficult for them to succeed in the playoffs.
