Russell Westbrook checks plenty of boxes, including playmaking, rebounding and defensive ability. He also plays with a lot of energy and brings a ton of intensity to his team. That being said, shooting the ball efficiently is and has always been a problem for the Los Angeles Clippers point guard.
This has not only led to him being scapegoated at the Lakers and made fun of by plenty of NBA fans, but also to him being used as a negative example in a ‘keys to victory’ graphic at UFC 288.
One of the ‘keys to victory’ simply stated “don’t be Russell Westbrook”, meaning the fighter should not just throw out punches at a high volume, but take good shots instead.
