“It’s very unfortunate… the shaming of my name, the shaming of my character, the shaming of who I am as a person, to me, is not warranted,” says Lakers star Russell Westbrook.
Westbrook said he realized the hatred had gone too far when he was at his son’s school and was told by a teacher how much pride his son takes in the family name.“I’ve kind of let it go in the past because it never really bothered me. But, it really kinda hit me the other day. Honestly, me and my wife were at a teacher-parent conference for my son. And the teacher told me, she’s like, ‘Noah, he’s so proud of his name. He writes it everywhere. He writes it on everything.
“It’s very unfortunate. It’s been like this for my entire career. I’ve been blessed, man, and super thankful for the ones around me and the ones that support me. But, it’s really the shaming of my name, the shaming of my character, the shaming of who I am as a person, to me, is not warranted. I haven’t done anything to anybody. I haven’t hurt anyone. I haven’t done anything but play basketball a way that people may not like.
