Brilliant during his years with the Thunder, Russell Westbrook has since experienced a rather severe fall. Tossed from franchise to franchise, the point guard is often blamed for poor results.

And an NBA legend really doesn’t appreciate this lack of respect.

Accustomed to triple-doubles when he was with the Thunder, Russell Westbrook ended up leaving the franchise to pursue his dream of winning his first NBA championship.

Since then? Let’s say that it’s a cold shower for the point guard, who has had a series of failures.

Houston, Washington, Lakers, Clippers: all these experiences ended quite badly for him.

Russell Westbrook unfairly treated in the NBA?

So whose fault is it? Many blame the player, unable to evolve or transform his game.

Others blame the Lakers for example, a franchise that is not unanimous when it comes to player management.

NBA legend Oscar Robertson seems to be part of the second group, he who does not understand all this criticism against Brodie.

Oscar Robertson on Russell Westbrook: “For some strange reason, I don’t know why people keep blaming him for everything that happens to him.

When he plays he’s dynamic, he gives the team a spark.

Then suddenly they make fun of him, they don’t want him anymore.”

A scenario that clearly seems to target the Lakers, who had a rather brutal end with the point guard, relegated to the bench and far in the rotation.

A real problem for Robertson.

Remember that this summer, Brodie ended up on the Nuggets side with Nikola Jokic.

This will be an opportunity for the point guard to get back on track, still in the hope of winning his first NBA title.

The Lakers fans should be blamed. What they did to Russ is shameful.

Is Russell Westbrook responsible for what is happening to him today? No for Oscar Robertson, not with the treatment of certain franchises.

Let’s hope the point guard gets a boost in Denver, just to get everyone on the same page about his case.
