Playing with him is toxic! Russell Westbrook approves of Kevin Durants toxic allegations on

Publish date: 2024-05-17

Russell Westbrook hasn’t been in a good place lately, and it shows in the statements that the player has given in the past few days post the removal of the Los Angeles Lakers from the play-ins contention, which was the result of the terrible performance by the entire team in the entire season, the blame of which came completely on Westbrook’s shoulders, and was somewhat shared by their coach Frank Vogel towards the end of the season.

With the entire blame coming on one player and the entire world taking shots at him, calling him bad names, targeting his family and doing every bad thing to him, it is bound to happen that one will succumb to this pressure and find themselves at a really bad place.

Kevin Durant in 2019 had stated that playing with LeBron James was toxic, and it wasn’t only limited to the court, but also went out of it and affected the normal lives of players who had to handle that burden. With LeBron being celebrated as the sole saviour of the Los Angeles Lakers this entire season, despite of which the team was unable to get to the playoffs, reports of Westbrook finding himself in a really dark spot are coming out, which signal to the fact that the cause of all of this could be LeBron himself.

It was initially suggested that LeBron was the one who was involved in convincing the Lakers to get Westbrook, and now that the plan entirely flopped and all the blame was pinned on him, it seems that things are now going sideways for the Lakers.

"When I first got here, I just felt that I never was given a fair chance to be who I needed to be to better help this team."

Russell Westbrook is now finally free from all the burden of the blame being put on his shoulders and one would expect him to be relieved, but that doesn’t seem to be the case with the player now being in a bad state mentally and emotionally, the cause of which might be the actions on court. Let us take a closer look at what Russell Westbrook said and how it was related to LeBron and his “toxic” playing environment.

Russell Westbrook finds himself in a bad spot, blame according to Kevin Durant now comes on LeBron James

The Lakers’ season has had a terrible impact on one of it’s most important players, who was expected to change the entire game for them, but instead, the plan backfired for the team. Russell Westbrook who was added to the squad with the intentions of getting his team to the championship wasn’t able to live up to the expectations of the team, and they ended up having a terrible run, which came to an end after their loss to the Phoenix Suns, the cause of which according to the entire world was Westbrook and Westbrook only.

He faced backlash for things which according to many people he wasn’t even responsible for and therefore now finds himself in a dark place.

Westbrook’s season-exit interview

Westbrook stated that he has been in a “dark corner” and he doesn’t know whom to trust or believe even though his “brodie” James is the one who has most control over the team and what happens with it. Kevin Durant back in 2018 stated that playing with LeBron was toxic and it caused players to go to bad places as the toxicity wasn’t even limited to the court, but went off of it. People on social media have tried to connect this state of Westbrook to the “toxic” actions of James, and have called them the cause of the former’s bad emotional state.

Despite of all that happens on court, one doesn’t deserve to go through all the emotional trauma, which is often caused by “fans” who pretend to “love” the sport and the “team” but still cause such problems to its players.
