Wade Baldwin IV may be lighting up the EuroLeague with Fenerbahçe, but it was his postgame mic drop, not his stat line, that stole the spotlight this week.
After finishing with 10 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds, and 7 turnovers in a hard-fought win over Anadolu Efes, Baldwin was asked about his near quadruple-double. His response? A playful jab at one of the NBA’s most polarizing stars.
“That’s like a Russell Westbrook-on-the-Lakers stat line right there,” Baldwin said with a laugh.
– You had 10 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds and 7 turnovers
– That’s like a Russel Westbrook on the Lakers statline right there

Baldwin’s performance was undeniably impactful, helping Fenerbahçe secure their third win of the EuroLeague season. But the seven turnovers raised eyebrows, and gave Baldwin the perfect setup for his viral quip. The stat line mirrored the kind of high-volume, high-risk output often associated with Westbrook’s tenure in Los Angeles.
Westbrook, a former MVP and one of the most dynamic guards in NBA history, has long been known for stuffing the stat sheet; sometimes with mixed results. His time with the Lakers was marked by triple-doubles, turnovers, and intense media scrutiny. Baldwin’s comment, while humorous, tapped into that legacy.
