I'm pretty disappointed in this. I had a lot of respect for Russ before seeing this.

Get over yourself. He is normally very cordial with the press. They won the game, so maybe he was just tired or had something on his mind. It's not like the press would extend him the same courtesy that they expect.

I get the whole argument about these guys not playing for the media. Sure, answering questions might be annoying and maybe they shouldn't have to be obligated to do it.
Idk, maybe there's a happy medium to this whole thing. But I lose respect for guys who do this. I won't root against him now and don't think he's a bad person or anything, but come the frick on.
Fan interest and excitement is the only reason why professional athletes get paid the way they do. I was NOWHERE near successful enough to be on the level of these guys and my career was nothing but an absolute failure, but god damn if I'm not thankful for everything I've had. And 90% of it was due to the fact that people cared about what I was doing.
Act like you care Russ

You realize that the media use to crucify Westbrook because they wanted him to be Steve Nash. Dude had a triple double in a game 7 and people still said he needed to pass it more to Durant. He is an alpha, always has been, and until recently did he start getting respect. I don't blame him one bit for disliking the media or stupid people who lose respect over something so dumb.
