Russell Westbrook blasts media for ‘false comments’ after Kings’ loss
[ad_1]
The Sacramento Kings have played some of the worst defense in the NBA this season. But guard Russell Westbrook offered up some confrontational cover for his younger teammates by blasting reporters following the Kings’ latest setback.
The organization is enduring another brutal NBA campaign, with their one-year revival as a playoff team in 2023 disintegrating into yet another rebuild and the worst record in the league less than three years later. But Westbrook insisted during a tense exchange at a March 5 news conference that local media members are contributing to the problems with “false comments” regarding him and other Kings’ players.

“You guys have a lot of opinions about how we do what we’re doing. What you got,” Westbrook asked in the aftermath of Sacramento’s 133-123 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. “You make a lot of statements and broad statements that you have no context, so where do you get your context from? Are you in practice? Are you at our film session? Are you anywhere around the building?”
