Despite all the criticism that has been directed at him, he has nevertheless demonstrated that he can be a valuable player on the court.
While critiquing his play is still OK, doubting his character is not. After being traded by the Los Angeles Lakers, Westbrook was dubbed a “Vampire in the locker room,” which sparked a tsunami of support for him. His wife criticized ESPN for the story, and celebrities like Carmelo Anthony and Donovan Mitchell also took issue with it.
“I know from Disney people that it was over $50K. They also said that was on top of daily/weekly tips he left and him being incredibly friendly and easy to work with for all the Disney folks,” said Keith Smith.
She said that in response to Shaun Powell, who said that when he questions locker room staff about the players that provide the most tips and their time, the names that consistently come up are Westbrook, Draymond, and Stephen Curry. It’s sad that someone in the locker room felt the need to take such a jab at Russ because the entire vampire story has simply sprung out of nowhere.
