Russell Westbrook denies any comparison claims to Sixers legend »FirstSportz

Russell Westbrook, the top triple-double in NBA history, has had a rough time with the Los Angeles Lakers. Joining the purple-yellow army and playing alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis in hopes of winning his first NBA championship, Russ is far from the best of the all-star lineup this season. Frustrated with his own form, the 33-year-old has denied any comparisons to Sixers legend Allex Iverson.

For those who don’t know, ESPN’s Dave McMenamin recently quoted an east conference executive who compared the Lakers’ Russell Westbrook to the Sixers’ legendary Allen Iverson. The two former scoring champions shared a common approach to the game. That said, neither player has won a championship yet, but Westbrook is encouraged to push his best form to get the Lakers deep into the 2021-22 season.

What objection did Russell Westbrook have about Allen Iverson?

The two superstars shared a lot of personal praise, their play styles also differing. Westbrook has averaged a brace in three of his last four seasons. During his career, Brodie has played with the likes of Kevin Durant, James Harden and Paul George.

I disagree for a variety of reasons,” Westbrook told ESPN. “No. 1, I believe I’m a one-of-a-kind player, and I respect Allen as much as I respect everything he’s done for the game, but I cannot compare myself to Allen Iverson by any means. Second, I’m probably – I feel, myself – always trying to fit in to do what’s best for the development of the team. And I’ve always done that in my career, and I’ll keep doing it and whatever happens, happens. If we win the championship, great. If we don’t, I’m OK with that and life goes on. .”

Having said that, Westbrook has been in bad form yet again in his side’s loss to the hot Memphis Grizzlies on their most recent run. Will revenue continue to haunt Brodie in the 2021-22 season? Or will he be back to his best sooner rather than later.
