"Russell Westbrook and The Cult of the Scowling Negro "
Very simple. Why do people constantly cyse the "toughness" and "heart" and "drive" and "competitiveness" of black athletes who engage in demonstrative displays of loserdom?
I love Russ, but I can't pretend he don't be folding when the lights get bright and things get tough. I'm not talking about being scared of the moment, I'm talking about being unable to focus when you're in it. You can't just "aggressive" your way to winning...against elite opponents. That game ain't have to be a blowout. Russ imploded and the team followed.
I ain't saying KD was right to leave, but I was reminded why he did.
