Exactly. And now people are gonna come up with says of calling him brick without even using his last name. And they're gonna say it whenever he starts to square up for a shot. Which in turn is gonna start causing him to rush his shots so that he tries to get them off before they start saying westbrick while he shoots.
Fr this is elementary stuff. You should learn as a kid that a “bully” is only gonna be more motivated if you give them the response they’re looking for. I think it really shows that he hasn’t dealt with much real criticism in life. A bunch of stuff of social media and tv shows that he might never see but now that fans and media are trying to hold him accountable from game to game and he can’t handle it
Paul George had a derogatory nickname in “Pandemic P” and he never complained or addressed the media about it. Instead it fueled him to be better the following season after his clippers lost in the bubble
tons of people call Lebron LeBrick, LeBum, LeFraud, LeGM, LeHelp etc. all the time, and as much as Lebron complains, he never complained about being called any of these names. Westbrick is just being overly sensitive for no reason.
They called Magic Johnson "Tragic Johnson" after the 1983 finals. And he had two championships and two finals mvps. He didn't say anything when OKC fans would heckle KD after he left the Thunder
Russ has addressed everything but his horrible play. Death threats are inexcusable, but calling him Wesbrick isn’t out of bounds. Especially when he never accepts responsibility on his play nor ever attempts to adjust his game. You get paid 40 mill bro, play better or catch the heat
Millionaires commit suicide too! Money doesn’t make everything better bro. Yeah Russ playing bad but to disrespect his family’s name is outta bounds bro!
The reason he's so sensitive to Westbrick is cuz he knows it's an accurate nickname for him and there's nothing he can do to change that because he's too arrogant to change the way he plays or make smarter decisions with the basketball
Russ needs to do what Giannis did: make his shots and prove the haters wrong. Giannis heard all the criticisms of his free throw efficiency, and responded by making 17/19 free throws in 2021 Finals game 6. Silence the critics with your performance, it's the stuff that legends do.
Giannis is 26 but sounds way more mature than 33yo Westbrook. RW have always played the same and never questioned his skills, there was never a season starting where you told yourself "wow he has improved this specific skill during summer" , he's not gonna start do to it at 33, given the way he talks about basketball
So if you get a nickname for doing something good it’s ok, but not when you’re doing bad it’s not Got it!! He wasn’t tripping off the Nickname Brodie! When he’s rocking the baby or cursing players on the court or calling them out their names, after he dunks on them. He’s not tripping
Broussard is 100% right about how RW should have handled this with his son. Dude is just setting his child up to be as emotionally fragile as he is🤦🏾♀️
Y'all need 2 realize this is A different time people will fight and take it further than that and Rob can people talk about your name do U block or hang up
@Trzn 2 he's a clown and I can't stand him. But I'm defending him 💯 percent here. He has every right to call him westbrick. And westbrick is not shaming his family or legacy.
I'm old enough to remember Magic Johnson being called Tragic Johnson for damn near a year. There's a reason not to many remember that.....Magic fixed his game and came back the next year a better player.
Dude sound so soft, let's remember he getting paid dam near 50 million a year to shoot a basketball. Not everyone else fault he can't shoot. Hell they called magic Johnson tragic Johnson, he didn't cry about it he came back and won a championship. This is dam near as weak as Ben Simmons. I have lost all respect for lil buddy Westbrick is weak for this.
Im calling BS on 95% of what he said. This dude said would ever he could think of to shame the media/ public into not making fun of him anymore. Secondly, we might have sympathy had you not told us that championships and low turnover rates dont mean anything to you.
WestBrook has a problem when he's being named called but he doesn't have a problem making fun of other players. Plus people been calling LeBron - LeBrick for ever but he's worked on his shot so the name isn't a thing. Russell should've been working on his game from early criticism then he wouldn't have been here.
LeBrick, LeActor, LeChoke, Tragic Johnson, Pandemic P, Wayoff P, CP0, you could go on and on. Never heard any of them crying about it. Just play better to shut people up.
Even Magic Johnson is calling him Westbrick, All he needs to do is take better shot selection. When you are shooting the ball and you aren’t only hitting the glass, you’re throwing up bricks.
Isn't Rob the one who blocked people on Twitter when they called him out on being wrong about Stafford 😂😂 seems like he can't take the heat but expects other people to be able to
Growing up, I was a big fan of Reggie Miller and the Pacers. Great rivalry with them and the Knicks. I remember the games how he was heckeled, most famously by Spike Lee. The crowd would sometimes chant calling Reggie "Cheryl"...the name of his older sister (who is maybe the GOAT of womens basketball🙂)... The heckling always seemed to fuel him to kill the knicks in big games...not saying its right to call someome out of their name, but Mr. Westbrook needs to shut the hecklers up by doing a better job shooting the ball. Lebron will always get a pass. Thats what he signed up for.
Russ wants to make his 44 million a year peacefully no one can criticize him all will playing for LA next to LJ. I believe Westbrook is lying I believe his son’s friends and classmates are starting call Young Westbrook, Westbrick and that’s what’s really bothering him
What are you new to life?? Name calling will always exist, especially for famous people. Its the internet, these trolls got the Westbrick family shook LOL. His wife and his horrible gameplay is feeding the trolls. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
🙄 Cry me a river. I got tagged with a bunch of nicknames (doesn't really take a genius to come up with them) based on my last name. You have to be super childish and naive to let that kind of thing really bother you. Feel free to come up with a few.
What’s funny about Westbrook that makes me want to call him Westbrick is that he leads the league in turnovers and the worst 3 point shooter but will hit the podium after the game like it never happen truly a cartoon lol
@@abualzuaree how is that hypocritical? If he didn’t get on a microphone and start complaining about how much it effects him like Russ did, then I don’t see the issue. Blocking people would be the equivalent of Russ just ignoring the fans saying Westbrick lol
I think there’s a huge difference between limiting the negativity that you come in contact with vs addressing/complaining about the negativity and letting the whole world know how much it bothers you when there’s no real way to limit it
Remember when Skip Bayless used to call Chris Bosh "Bosh Spice"? That was Skip essentially saying he is as soft as the Spice Girls (pop stars from the 90s) I see that as a bigger insult since not only was he a good player who altered his game to fit into a new system, but WestBrick actually has to do with his play. Bosh also went onto First Take (back when Skip was on ESPN) and called out Skip to his face, and Skip respected him more for it.
Considering the fact that Russell Westbrook wears dresses I guess we know who wears the pants. His wife never should have gone on Twitter and put him in a position where he has to answer questions about her running her mouth
If they was calling him westbrick to say he was solid or the foundation for a great team, or because no big bad wolf would blow him down he'd be fine with it. He can stop people from saying wesbrick buy not shooting bricks but he wants to shoot bricks and not be held accountable
Russ should just own how bad his season has been. He should laugh at himself. Know it prob hurts. But he’s made millions. He’s lived the dream. By reacting, he’s made it something. Again, this year has been v disappointing I am sure. I feel for him. But he’s laughing all the way to bank.
@@emc8271 lol exactly what I said bro!! He's crying all the way to the bank not laughing! Laughing is what you do when the haters don't bother you. He's already admitted he's bothered so he's not laughing at anything!
Russell is the new 🧁 It's awful convenient that all of a sudden they getting alleged death threats....seems to take away from Russ' awful play!! What a joke!
Are you crazy? You ever spent 1 day in school? People are cruel and it's worse for kids. So it would be easy for people that know who his father is. In high school it was alot of people that had permanent nicknames they didn't want
@@byronmartin1840 I’d have to ask you the same because if your last name is westbrook too and you never played basketball and i start calling you westbrick you’d probably laugh in my face because that name has no power in the context it’s being used. I get what you are saying but you are speaking generally and i agree, but practically it wouldn’t translate to that boy’s life unless he plays basketball too and he was a terrible shooter, think about what I’m saying before you respond impulsively with all due respect
@@byronmartin1840 even if people didn't specifically say "westbrick", they'd probably still say your dad is trash or a bum in a basketball.context. so the name "westbrick" doesn't make any worse. That just comes with being a public figure, one way to mitigate criticism is to have accountability and humility. People sympathize with people like that but westbrick is basically doing the opposite by arguing with fans 🤣
Lol that ain't gonna happen bruh. That's just wishful thinking. He just needs to stop shooting so many bad shots. At this point his basketball IQ is what is. Not much he can do to improve that. If he can't handle the criticism he should just retire. Because now it's just gonna be worse for him until he stops shooting so many bricks.
No. Absolutely not. They called Matthew Stafford stat padford for years!! Tragic Johnson. Paul George has a whole list of names! LeBron gets it! Lots of players!!
That man can defend his name if he feels the need too. His kids and family are watching and supporting him. On top of that the reporter asked him about it. He didn’t just go on a rant. Why do folks think cuz somebody has a tough basketball season that they have to take disrespect?
Thank you. Its crazy how you can call someone out of there FAMILY name and when that person has a problem with it, everyone acts like he isnt responding to people disrespecting his FAMILY name. Why cant they say he is throwing up bricks, he is trash, worst signing in Lakers history etc, its doesnt have to be WESTBRICK.
@@richardwilliams7415 it’s called respect, basketball is a GAME at the end of the day, it’s entertainment, that doesn’t mean people got the right to disrespect him and his family like that ! And he has a right to say i don’t like it, it’s effecting my kids…
Westbrook is the textbook definition of a narcissist hypocrite. He's literally taunted and used nicknames against other players and even the media. It's all fine if he does it but not when people do it back to him.
Russels’s kids and grandkids will never know hunger, can afford the best education money can buy, the best healthcare and vacations to boot, and the biggest adversity his son will ever face is someone might…just might make fun of his name by calling him Westbrick. And you have to protect him from that?
Russ….I DONT WANNA HEAR THAT” this is about you… not yo family or wife… you accept those contracts so accept the name that you earned from bad play 💯 simple
@dj pokechopz... Exactly. You can call every one of my family members whatever the hell you want. That $44 mil will have me and my family sleeping well each and every night.
If someone says I hope you fall off a cliff into a woodchipper, is that really illegal. It's petty but theres a big difference between wishing somebody harm and threatening it.
It’s part of the game when you are famous making $40 million plus per year. Bron has the template on how to deal with adversity. Ask him for advice and mentorship.
Lmao word. I pray for you on those days when you don't have the mental strength to deal with the bs. Hopefully some jokes are so good you laugh at them haha
come on Mrs. Brick, there is no way anyone really believes someone is issuing death threats on social media which is trackable over your performance as an athlete.
when Novak Djokovic got banned to play in Australia open two months, people called him Joke-Covid. He did not talk about his legacy or whatsoever, that is how a professional athlete should present themselves with all positive and negative comments.. People gave you nickname based on your performance on the court, no where else but the court... anything that will damage your legacy is your performance on the court, and only on the court. Getting paid 40 plus millions, it is too much to ask him to get some coaching on shooting during off season. It is hard to explain with such a low shooting percentage, no improvements after over 10 years..
Racial slurs/death threats = off limits PERIOD! But "WESTBRICK"???🤣 how u're playing & more importantly WHERE u playing is gon welcome more heckling bro! ESPECIALLY when u let everybody know it bothers u!🤦🏾♂️c'mon russ, just play better my guy
I have exactly zero sympathy for him with that nickname. I can't count the number of insulting nicknames I've been tagged with over the years so one (actually earned) nickname is really funny to see someone get bent out of shape about. 🤣
But his wife has no issue with him wearing a dress 😂
Right
Only weirdos got a problem with it
Right lol
@@OMAR-vk9pi ya grown ass men wearing dresses 👗 ain’t weird at all….
Lmfao imma Westbrook fan but that is straight facts
You don’t let your enemy know your weakness. He’s gonna get called westbrick a hell of a lot more now because people know it affects him.
yes, his just trash and has gotten exposed for his play.
The best way to make a nickname stick is to complain about it. That's true for all walks of life
True! He likes to dish it out but cant take it when it comes back.
Exactly. And now people are gonna come up with says of calling him brick without even using his last name. And they're gonna say it whenever he starts to square up for a shot.

Millionaires commit suicide too! Money doesn’t make everything better bro. Yeah Russ playing bad but to disrespect his family’s name is outta bounds bro!
The Lakers crowd literally screamed NOOOO when he was shooting once and he....bricked the shot. Name is 💯% deserved.
The reason he's so sensitive to Westbrick is cuz he knows it's an accurate nickname for him and there's nothing he can do to change that because he's too arrogant to change the way he plays or make smarter decisions with the basketball
Bingo
He just got old. It happens to everyone.
@@Gnofg When stars get old, they usually take a lesser role (Melo, Dwight, KLove). Russ refuses to do that
No. It bothers him so much because he DOESN’T know that. He thinks he is a good shooter.
Russ is not built for the Lakers. He needs to play for a small market team where the fans and media can coddle him.
If you take the money and the cheers, you gotta take the boos and the jeers.
The nickname Westbrick isn’t shaming his legacy, HE’s shaming his own legacy by the way he’s playing
We've been calling him Westbrick in Oklahoma since he was bricking shots here instead of passing to KD 😂

Big facts! Giannis, PG-13, magic Johnson, lebron and etc all had to go through and they all played better to shut people up. It’s simple

Thank you. Its crazy how you can call someone out of there FAMILY name and when that person has a problem with it, everyone acts like he isnt responding to people disrespecting his FAMILY name. Why cant they say he is throwing up bricks, he is trash, worst signing in Lakers history etc, its doesnt have to be WESTBRICK.
@@richardwilliams7415 it’s called respect, basketball is a GAME at the end of the day, it’s entertainment, that doesn’t mean people got the right to disrespect him and his family like that ! And he has a right to say i don’t like it, it’s effecting my kids…
Westbrook is the textbook definition of a narcissist hypocrite. He's literally taunted and used nicknames against other players and even the media. It's all fine if he does it but not when people do it back to him.
You better put respeck on my name😂😂😂😂
In fairness, there are flattering names: Big Shot Rob, Mr. Big Shot, Iso Joe, Logo Lillard, etc Can’t have one without the other.
Solution: Practice. Those BRICKS he shoots looks like ones from a man who doesn't put that time in.
THANK YOU! I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS
Derrick fisher called him Russell west brick by accident on live tv lol
At least y'all offered sound advice 👏
Russels’s kids and grandkids will never know hunger, can afford the best education money can buy, the best healthcare and vacations to boot, and the biggest adversity his son will ever face is someone might…just might make fun of his name by calling him Westbrick. And you have to protect him from that?
Russ….I DONT WANNA HEAR THAT” this is about you… not yo family or wife… you accept those contracts so accept the name that you earned from bad play 💯 simple
What....you think lebron kids don't hear this everyday...grown up westbrick...44 million will make you forget about it
@dj pokechopz... Exactly. You can call every one of my family members whatever the hell you want. That $44 mil will have me and my family sleeping well each and every night.
Fine. I'll stop calling him Russell Westbrick and start calling him Russell Dressbrook.
I don't wanna be a bully after all.
Dressbrick 👗
Sassybrick 💅🏾
His son is 4 years old !! What’s he hearing from WHO ??? 😂😂😂
The maid!!!
“Open an investigation for online trolls” yeah okay
What about Russ’s nickname for KD when he left OKC?
Hopefully Russ doesn’t harm himself this is getting out of hand. Just retire Russ and give back the $47 million!
I LOOOOOVE what Chris said about talking to his kid part...
This is the same thing Skip and Jalen Rose fell out about when Skip was calling Chris Bosh "Bosh Spice "
Rob Talks back all the time he responds to me 😂
If someone says I hope you fall off a cliff into a woodchipper, is that really illegal. It's petty but theres a big difference between wishing somebody harm and threatening it.
Yes, Skip was the first to say "Westbrick" publicly. However, Chroniclesofjudah44 is the creator of that name is where Skip heard that.
It’s part of the game when you are famous making $40 million plus per year. Bron has the template on how to deal with adversity. Ask him for advice and mentorship.
I'm with Rob. People are way to sensitive today.
Chris and Rob...the voice of reason on this topic...who would have thought?
How?!
I work at a high school and the kids call me Mr. Shiny or Milk Dud cause I’m bald head 😂🤣
Lmao word. I pray for you on those days when you don't have the mental strength to deal with the bs. Hopefully some jokes are so good you laugh at them haha
Now what if the whole arena just starts chanting Westbrick. You going to address all of them?
come on Mrs. Brick, there is no way anyone really believes someone is issuing death threats on social media which is trackable over your performance as an athlete.
Didn't Green get death calls after 1 missed shot in The Finals?
when Novak Djokovic got banned to play in Australia open two months, people called him Joke-Covid. He did not talk about his legacy or whatsoever, that is how a professional athlete should present themselves with all positive and negative comments.. People gave you nickname based on your performance on the court, no where else but the court... anything that will damage your legacy is your performance on the court, and only on the court. Getting paid 40 plus millions, it is too much to ask him to get some coaching on shooting during off season. It is hard to explain with such a low shooting percentage, no improvements after over 10 years..
As a man…black man in particular…fight for ur name fight for ur respect…we’ve done that in this county’s for hundreds of years
Racial slurs/death threats = off limits PERIOD!
But "WESTBRICK"???🤣 how u're playing & more importantly WHERE u playing is gon welcome more heckling bro! ESPECIALLY when u let everybody know it bothers u!🤦🏾♂️c'mon russ, just play better my guy
I have exactly zero sympathy for him with that nickname. I can't count the number of insulting nicknames I've been tagged with over the years so one (actually earned) nickname is really funny to see someone get bent out of shape about. 🤣
Work on ya shot bro so they can call u Russel WestSwish
