Westbrook with another alpha response

[whitemamba]

When asked if he was a spur fan.

that was a dumb question tbh, what you expect him to say

[Cry Havoc]

With all the angst of a teenage girl.

"Sure it'd be great if they played well on Wednesday, since if they lose we're done."?

Man, words are hard.

Why give in & bow to those humps? They're just trollin'...they don't mean him well. & what's more? He knows it.

Kind of disturbing that grown men repeatedly refer to another man as an "alpha"

That's perhaps the least creative, most adolescent response he could have ever conceived of to put them in their place. "See my hat?" Serious? He needs to take a class from Christian Bale.

Who cares, tbh? Spur fan is getting emotional upstairs about this. :lol

I wouldn't expect any player on the Spurs to say any different if they were in his shoes.

OP trying to find alphas instead of being one.

[Killakobe81]

That's the biggest clue they aren't one. :lol

LOL I was wondering why this is such an issue on Spurstalk? WGAF who is the alpha of a team? I actually liked Amb's alpha thread despite his intentions, but arguing if Magic or Kareem was the alpha of Showtime or any debate similar (wade/Lebron) is silly. Wade has 3 rings and Lebron 2. I dont put an asterisk on Wades 2nd and 3rd rings even though Lebron was the "alpha".

Exactly:lol..so many fake ass pussies in the league. Russ is one of the realest niggas.

[Monostradamus]

He acts this way with the media because the team allows him to. There's a Grantland article about how OKC is one of the only teams that's incredibly stingy with allowing interviews and access to players. They berate reporters whenever Russ or KD have a hissy fit in public. Apparently that's part of their strategy to keep/lure free agents - "You don't have to treat the media nicely, and we'll do whatever we can to keep them away from you".

All he did was scoff at the reporter's stupid question..

This is the same man that has defended his shitty coach for years, and never throws anybody under the bus..

I don't understand why fans want players to give them cliche answers and lies in interviews:lol

Bully, bully for them. Media is not there to treat you well. They are there to make a living, just like the next asshole in the line. And just like said asshole they'll do it by hook, or, by crook. "Your" job is to win NBA Titles, not to be hop into bed with Media, or, patronize them so they cite your charity horseshit.

What has he won to scoff at anyone? His game doesn't back up his antics. Everyone is starting to do this because of Marshawn Lynch. It's unoriginal.

They don't...that's Media speaking on "our" behalf to feather their own caps. Then when occasion hits and Media doesn't need "us" we're shunted aside, made to look like shit, and ignored.

{Meda} is not a benevolent entity, they're just like everybody else looking for a nickel= bus drivers, sign turners, fast food workers, et al. They like to portray themselves as like "the keeper of the flame." Fuck them.

And even that is selective. Kerr, a WASP, who leaves his bible at home is feted supremely, while they rode a black man out on a rail because he's a witness for Christ. Yeah, a black man was separated and high tech lynch and in broad daylight. Why? Because he professed his love of Christ. Only the Jews can openly go about their religion.

Double meaning question. You dont have to be a fan of a team to want them to win one particular important game if it benefits you.

Richard Sherman goes on rants and drops truth bombs all the time, oftentimes directing his shots right at the media, and he is revered by them, because he treats them with decency and dignity. All Russ has to do is not be an asshole.

“Throughout the years I’ve been trying to find ways to be a better leader,” Westbrook told ESPN. “Leadership was a huge thing for me coming into the season. I felt the way I reacted to certain plays, my facial expressions and my demeanor can change a lot for us as a team both positively and negatively.”


Can anyone honestly say Russ has improved in this area? His own self-assessment acknowledges that it's a problem.

One does not conquer one's failures without first acknowledging their existence. Nonetheless they die hard and are forever on the peripheral tempting one when you're under the most strain and stress, but, him throwing that scoring title into the shredder was certainly representative.

Very true, and that's my issue with Russ. The scowling/arguing on court with teammates thing has been an issue and still is. The terrible 3pt% has been an issue, and is as bad or worse than ever. No one who shoots 29.9% from three should jack up 288 shots in a season. Russ is the only player in the the top ten of RPM who has a negative defensive rating. He has all the natural talent in the world, but instead of playing smarter he amplifies everything good and bad as he dominates the team in usage%. When coaches, players, and scouts talk about Anthony Davis and Stephen Curry, there's really nothing bad to say. But when those same people talk about Westbrook and DeMarcus Cousins, it's inevitable that certain topics are always brought up... not because people arbitrarily want to criticize, but because there are actual, legitimate issues. Russ started all this by making terrible shot making decisions in the finals against LeBron & Co., and while he has improved as a player since then, too many of his issues are still unresolved.

Curry is a Media darling, same with Davis. Westbrook has not canvassed for Media's favor and I appreciate that. He's chosen to go it alone, so to speak. And he's correct there. In the bitter end you'll be alone just before you do OR don't ring...and Media has targeted Westbrook and left Curry to himself. For example, let Curry get squeezed out of the 8th spot last nite and put his scoring title in the trash barrel. We'd hear nothing but that. With Westbrook,,,it's an aside. Media doesn't want that. They've written the story already about Westbrook coveting that scoring title. Now they have to delete that story on their lap top and move away. & that galls them no end.

Media is rats & vermin. They lie with impunity, because they can.

The media's just like every other category of humans-- teachers, police, accountants, athletes-- some are rats and vermin, some are knowledgeable and honest. When people started questioning Westbrook's shot selection in the finals against the Heat, those questions were legitimate questions. The guy was 3 for 22 from the three point line and took more shots than the much more efficient Durant in the series. It's not like an arbitrary witchhunt appeared out of thin air. He exhibited a tendency to take make poor decisions, and lots of people noticed.

With regards to the way many perceive him, I think his own words say it best: "I felt the way I reacted to certain plays, my facial expressions and my demeanor can change a lot for us as a team both positively and negatively.” ? Anthony Davis doesn't have this problem. If he did, people would talk about it.

But, only Media gets to lie on the job with impunity. These other vocations take a very dim view of falsehood and if one is caught in such is disciplined. Not so with Media. That's where I liken them to vermin, to the rat. The rat has no conscience, no regret. Neither does Media.
