This season, Westbrook's performance on the field has not been satisfactory. Because the shooting percentage is not high, foreign fans gave him a nickname "Westbrick", which means "West Brick", which satirizes Westbrook shooting like throwing bricks. In response, Wei Shao was very angry and said that he did not like the nickname. At the same time, Wei Shao also said that his family has been verbally molested and threatened with death by fans, and they are now afraid to come to the Lakers' home stadium to watch the game.
In response to these off-site affairs, many NBA celebrities in the United States have expressed their own views and opinions. Among them, the well-known commentator A-Smith's evaluation is the most objective and true, he denounced the extreme behavior of the fans, and said that Wei Shao was ridiculed as completely self-inflicted.
A-Smith said: "Although some fans are really unforgivable for your actions, although your family clearly should not be affected, you and your family should not be threatened. But the mocking part is the point of my discussion. My brother, this (being ridiculed) is something you asked for! You've played a little too badly this year. ”
"Westbrook is considered a super confident, incredibly strong guy, he believes in his way of doing things, but I would say, Durant, Harden, Ibaka, Reggie Jackson, Paul George, Oladipo, Bill, James, Davis, it's hard to find another star player in history who can put together such a strong squad of teammates and still have 0 championships after partnering them."
"The 0 crown in your career should be the motivation for your hard work when you play, and this shouldn't make you still have the courage to say in front of all the audience, I'm very good, I have my family, I have my life, I have money, because these people they spend money to watch you play, they see you play like this, can you be happy?" 」
So far this season, Westbrook has played 63 games for the Lakers, averaging 34.4 minutes per game, scoring 18.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1 steal, and shooting 28.2% from three-point range.
