After joining the Lakers, Wei Shao was questioned and ridiculed by many fans because of his poor personal performance. According to Wei Shao, some extreme fans even made verbal obscenities and death threats against themselves and their families. For this reason, the Wei Shao family has been reluctant to go to the Lakers' home stadium to watch the game. Apparently, these off-field affairs distracted Wei Shao's energy and affected his play.
After Wei Shao made the matter public, the Lakers remained almost completely silent. Only Ellington tweeted in solidarity with Wei Shao, saying: "Forget what the sunspots say, and continue to be the winner of life." Family is always the most important thing. ”
Although most of the Lakers teammates choose to treat each other coldly, there are still stars in the league who stand up and choose to speak for Wei Shao, he is the Spurs' current star Dezhangtai Murray! Murray wrote: "Lately a lot of people have been attacking Westbrook and treating him with great disrespect, but they can't deny Westbrook's excellence. The person who really cares about you will always be there for you and will never leave. My brother @ Wei Shao, please believe this. ”
After the Spurs' game against the Lakers, Murray shared a video of himself talking to Westbrook after the game. While we can't be sure what Murray said to Wei Shao, it's certainly similar to the message he expressed in his tweets. Murray understands what Wei Shao is going through now, and he just wants Wei Shao to know that he is not alone.
It's great to see that there are still people supporting Westbrook. Even Lakers celebrity Magic Johnson, who has been criticizing Wei Shao this season, has stood up to express his full support for Wei Shao. It was clear that Wei Shao was not in a good position right now, and he needed all the support he could get. Fans are very confused, why is Lakers superstar James silent, slow to stand up for Wei Shao?
