Ray Felton Comments on Russell Westbrook


Unless you been under a rock (or just not an NBA fan) you would know about the blow ups the Oklahoma City Thunder have been having with their all star point guard Russell Westbrook. This dates back to last year's playoffs where he and his teammate All Star Kevin Durant got into it. Well this season, he snapped on one of his teammates (Sefelosha) telling him to "Shoot the Damn, ball" also getting into it with KD once again. This was putting up a big ZERO in the field goals made column. Well former NY Knick and current Portland Trailblazer Ray Felton had something to say about Westbrook and his game.

"That’s the type of guy he is, that’s his mindset, that’s how he plays," Felton said when I remarked about Westbrook’s win-the-battle, but lose-the-war mentality. "He’s always in a one-on-one battle with all the point guards. I’m not really into that. I’m into winning. If you win, everybody gets the praises. We are not wearing ‘Felton’ on the front of our jerseys; it says Blazers. I care about the Blazers winning."


Reading this comment I will definately be paying close attention to RDubs games from here on out..I think sometimes he forgets he has arguably the best "Go To" Guy in the game right now. I hope it gets better cause this team has a chance to make and win the Finals. Lets hope Russ gets it together and becomes Team First instead of ME first.
