Los Angeles Lakers are struggling this season and despite a monstrous roster, they failed to turn things around. The Lakers signed several top players in the off-season to fight for their 18th championship. Some of their signings such as Russell Westbrook have failed to perform consistently this season. However, Westbrook has recently acknowledged that he needs to be better.

2017 MVP, Westbrook, joined the Lakers from the Wizards last summer in exchange for three players and draft rights of Isaiah Jackson. While everyone thought this was a good deal for the Lakers, it turned out to be a nightmare for both Westbrook and the Lakers.

Westbrook has failed to step up for the Lakers and has faced heavy criticism this season. However, he has finally admitted that he has to perform better. But as the season is close to getting over, fans are mad at him for his late accountability.
