"The Crypto.com Arena crowd got on Westbrook with boos, first for a shot he took when he missed a midrange jumper badly off the side of the backboard in the second quarter with L.A. trailing and then for a shot he passed up when he was open in the corner behind the 3-point line late in the fourth." Please don't shoot anymore! - Lakers fans. WHY AREN'T YOU SHOOTING MORE? - Also Lakers fans.
You know, if the media had never focused on WB, a lot of fans would just look at the box score and think he's top 10. Early in his career, they made him into just that. Now the media is turning him from man to midget. Don't get me wrong, a corrective narrative was due. But what I don't like is that the media is what drives the perception.
