We know Russell Westbrook as Mr. Triple Double for his exceptional career-long statistics. Wherein he accomplished what we could not even imagine before. Averaging triple-doubles in the past three out of four seasons made it very normal for fans to see a triple-double against his name on the box score. However, now that his prime is declining, and he is not putting up those numbers anymore, he is facing a lot of criticism for his inefficiency.

Among the criticizes, is former Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star Karl Anthony Towns. Towns has been in the news for several reasons this season. From his absurd claims about being the best shooting big in the league to now calling out Westbrook for “chasing” his stats. Towns instantly received backlash from the NBA community including NBA stars like Draymond Green and Joel Embiid.
