<p>Well, that’s a wrap, folks. The exciting<strong>2020/21<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> NBA </a>regular season </strong>is already in the history books. The reigning champions<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> </strong>will have a tough time going back to the Finals, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/philadelphia-76ers-t102083" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Philadelphia 76ers</strong></a> are legit contenders, and the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sacramento-kings-t100706" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sacramento Kings</a></strong> tied a historically poor streak of 15 years without making the playoffs.</p>
<p>These are just two of the biggest takeaways from the regular season. But, with the playoffs right around the corner, we’ve yet to see<strong> the best basketball of the year</strong>, and we couldn’t be more excited about that.</p>
<p>We witnessed some incredible performances this season. From <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/golden-state-warriors-t101550" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephen Curry’s</a> 62-point explosion to Russell Westbrook’s 21 rebounds and 24 assists, </strong>this was a season for the ages. For that, we’ll present you with the league leaders in every major stat this season.</p>

The league leaders in every stat for the 2020/21 NBA season - Bolavip US

<p>Ever since the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/oklahoma-city-thunder-t91653" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oklahoma City Thunder</a></strong> drafted him over a decade ago,<strong>Russell Westbrook</strong> has been one of the <strong>most controversial and polarizing players in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA.</a></strong> Up to this day, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/washington-wizards-t94888" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Wizards</a> </strong>star continues to draw contrasting takes about his game.</p>
<p>Westbrook is one of the most athletic players to ever lace them up. He can take anyone one-on-one, and his ability to pile up rebounds is <strong>unmatched for a player of his size</strong>. He’s just a video-game kind of player in real life.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, somehow people seem unimpressed about the fact that he’s en route to average a triple-double for a full season for the fourth time in his career, and that’s why<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/milwaukee-bucks-t100207" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/milwaukee-bucks-t100207" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Milwaukee Bucks </a>legend Oscar Robertson</strong> recently called out his critics.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<h2>Oscar Robertson Defends Russell Westbrook From His Haters</h2>
<p>When asked about whether he wants Westbrook to take him down in the all-time triple-doubles list, <strong>Robertson was nothing but supportive of him</strong>, claiming that those who call him out for not winning a ring are way out of line:</p>
<p><em>“There’s no doubt about it. I hope he gets it.<strong> I think he’s one of the elite guards in basketball, and I think it’s ridiculous that some sportswriters criticize him because he has not won a championship. Players don’t win championships by themselves.</strong> You’ve got to have good management. You need to get with the right group of players,”</em> Robertson told <strong>The New York Times.</strong></p>
<p><span></span></p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2021/04/14/noticia_0002.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-87">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Robertson went on to add that players are just teaming up to win a ring nowadays, <strong>thus making it harder for lone stars to win on their own</strong>. That, according to him, didn’t happen as often back in the day:</p>
<p><em><strong>“Look at Brooklyn: Who could have done this years ago? How things have changed.</strong> It seems now that what’s happening in basketball, and I haven’t seen it happen in football yet, is players will get together and say, “Let’s go and play for this team so we can win.” Years ago, you wouldn’t have thought of doing that,</em>” he concluded.</p>
<p><span></span></p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2020/04/30/noticia_0001.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-31">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Truth be told, Westbrook draws more criticism for his <strong>poor decision-making –</strong> especially with the game on the line – rather than for ‘stat-padding’. In fact, his teams have a 70% winning percentage when he gets a triple-double.</p>
<p>But, even if you’re not a fan of his phrenetic play, you can’t discredit a player that’s piled up 179 triple-doubles (and counting) throughout his career. Let’s not normalize <strong>one of the most incredible features in NBA history.</strong></p>

Oscar Robertson blasts Russell Westbrook's haters

Oscar Robertson blasts Russell Westbrook's haters - Bolavip US

<p>Following their statement win over the<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/indiana-pacers-t100210" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indiana Pacers</a></strong>, the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Washington Wizards</strong> </a>have done what most people thought was impossible at the beginning of the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> </strong>season. After putting together an impressive run, they’re now in a position to make the<strong> play-in tournament.</strong></p>
<p>And, while the Wizards clearly are<strong> Bradley Beal’s</strong> team, it seems like the biggest reason why they now have a chance to make the playoffs is because of how impressive, good, and dominant<strong> Russell Westbrook </strong>has been.</p>
<p>Westbrook has now secured to average a triple-double for a full season for the fourth time on his career, one of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/the-most-unbreakable-records-in-nba-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">craziest records</a> you could ever think of and one <strong>that’s unlikely to ever be topped.</strong></p>

<p></p>
<p>He took just 8 shots last night to finish with<strong> 14 points, 21 rebounds, and 24 assists</strong> (the last two are career highs), becoming the first player to record a 21+ board/24+ dime game in NBA history. Moreover, it was just the third time a player grabbed 20+ reboundsand handed out 20+ assists. Who did it first? Well, <strong>Wilt Chamberlain</strong>…and Russell Westbrook.</p>
<h2>Scott Brooks Says Russell Westbrook Will Go Down As The 2nd Best Point Guard Ever</h2>
<p>So, after watching such an impressive performance by his starting point guard, Wizards coach <strong>Scott Brooks</strong> made the boldest claim about him, stating that he’ll go down as the second-best point guard in NBA history:</p>
<p><em><strong>“I used to always say he’s going to probably go down as the third-best point guard ever, but I think he’s passed one and he’s going to go down as probably the second-best. </strong>One is obviously Magic [Johnson]. What he does, there’s no point guard that has ever done it. Nobody. Nobody,”</em> coach Brooks told <strong>NBC Washington.</strong></p>
<p><span></span></p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2021/05/03/noticia_0004.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-90">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p><em><strong>“I’ve been fortunate enough to see him for eight years do a lot of things that are pretty much superhuman at times. </strong>Point guards don’t do what he does. They aren’t built that way.There might be some that shoot better, there might be some that probably can do certain things better. <strong>But there’s nobody in the history of the game that can do what he does throughout the stat sheet. That guy is as high as level of a player this league has ever seen,</strong></em>” he concluded.</p>
<p>Brooks clearly holds Westbrook in a high standard after coaching him in the <strong>Oklahoma City Thunder </strong>as well, and there’s no doubt that Russ is the most athletic point guard ever – and one of the most gifted athletes in NBA history – <strong>but that’s a bit of a stretch.</strong></p>
<p>Then again, even if<em> ‘Brodie’ </em>isn’t the second-best point guard to ever lace them up, we should still give him his flowers. Averaging a triple-double for a full season isn’t as easy as it sounds and we shouldn’t normalize it, even if it’s <strong>just another day at the office for him.</strong></p>

Scott Brook makes the boldest claim about Russell Westbrook - Bolavip US

<p>Even though old-school basketball was great, most people could argue that <strong>today’s <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> players are better. </strong>It’s not a matter of talent but at least in terms of the way they prepare their bodies to perform at a high level.</p>
<p>That, combined with the fact that players make the league at a younger age nowadays and that the game is played <strong>at a higher pace,</strong> makes it more likely for them to break and set new records and marks.</p>
<p>That’s why it’s so common to see players piling up stats and racking triple-doubles night in and night out. Back in the day, however, that wasn’t that normal, and just a handful of players could fill the stat sheet <strong>night in and night out.</strong></p>

<h2>Top 5 Players With The Most Triple-Doubles In NBA History</h2>
<h2>5. LeBron James – 99</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210407_BUS_169965_lebron_james.jpg_22993414_73eb5c8d.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    LeBron James. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>LeBron James </strong>is one of the most versatile players in the history of the game so it’s not a surprise to see him here. He redefined the concept of a point forward thanks to his ability to create for others despite not being a point guard, and his size and strength have always given him an edge on the boards. <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron</a> has the basketball IQ of a guard, the body of a forward, and can do it all on both ends of the floor.</p>
<h2>4. Jason Kidd – 107</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210407_BUS_169965_jason_kidd.jpg_22993414_9be02a0f.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Jason Kidd. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Jason Kidd</strong> is one of the best pure point guards ever. He was a pass-first kind of guy, a player that would put his body on the line and take a beating to secure a defensive reboundand an extension of the coach right there on the hardwood. To be honest, it seemed like rebounding and passing came easier and more natural to him than scoring.</p>
<h2>3. Magic Johnson – 138</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210407_BUS_169965_magic_johnson.jpg_22993414_89640ed6.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Magic Johnson. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Magic Johnson </strong>took the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> to the top of the world during the Showtime era. He’s the flashiest passer and the most skilled point guard in NBA history, and his combination of size and skills made him the ultimate one-through-five player. He could play and guard every spot on the court, and that gave him a huge edge when it came to rebounding. you don’t find many 6’9” point guards out there.</p>
<h2>2. Oscar Robertson – 181</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210407_BUS_169965_oscar_robertson.jpg_22993414_76815cde.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Oscar Robertson. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Oscar Robertson </strong>was the first player to ever average a triple-double for a full season. He made the most of his strength and hops to dominate both sides of the glass, and he was always the most aggressive player on the hardwood. His playmaking skills and basketball IQ were off the roof, and he just could fill up the stat sheet as no other player could. His versatility and grind on both ends of the floor made him one of the most underrated players of all time.</p>
<h2>1. Russell Westbrook – 181 (And Counting)</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210407_BUS_169965_russell_westbrook_x1x_1.jpg_22993414_e1cf0874.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Russell Westbrook. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Russell Westbrook</strong> gets a lot of criticism for the way he plays the game but you just can’t deny his passion and skills. He could take every player in the world one-on-one, and he’s the greatest rebounding guard of all time. We’re taking him for granted but he’ll finish his career as the all-time leader in triple-doubles, and is the only player to average a triple-double in multiple seasons. That’s not as easy as it sounds.</p>

<p>It’s fair to say that<strong> Russell Westbrook</strong> is one of the most heavily-criticized players in<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a></strong> history. He’s got the athletic and physical tools to be one of the most dominant players to ever do it, yet his lack of success in the playoffs has always stained his legacy.</p>
<p>Lately, however, Westbrook has been playing at an elite level once again, leading the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/washington-wizards-t94888" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Washington Wizards</strong></a> to a bit of a revival and keeping their playoff hopes alive, even without <strong>Bradley Beal.</strong></p>
<p>However, it seems like some people are still unimpressed by his numbers, and even after he led his team to a win over the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/utah-jazz-t92560" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Utah Jazz</a></strong>by posting the first-ever triple-double with <strong>35+ points and 20+ assists</strong> in NBA history, they’re still finding ways to call him out.</p>

<h2>Stephen A. Smith Calls Out Russell Westbrook</h2>
<p>The first to do it was<strong> ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith,</strong> who claimed that those numbers meant nothing because he’s used to doing that stuff, yet he can’t win or lead when it matters the most:</p>
<p><span></span></p>

<p><em><strong>“Westbrook’s numbers last night mean absolutely nothing to me</strong> because even though that’s great numbers, that’s what Westbrook can do. We all know this. He’s a former league MVP. He’s the most athletic point guard we have ever seen in NBA history,</em>” Smith started.</p>
<p><em>“But Bradley Beal and you are in the backcourt together and y’all are 17-28 in the Eastern Conference. (…) You’ve played with some great, great players over the years, some talent. And not a single title to show for it.<strong> The numbers are the numbers. That’s Russell Westbrook. He can do that to anybody. But I’m at a point in time in his career where it ain’t about that no more.</strong> It’s about whether or not you can get to another level to win the chip,”</em> he concluded.</p>
<h2>Russell Westbrook’s Wife Fires Back At Stephen A. Smith</h2>
<p><strong>Russell Westbrook’s wife took offense</strong> on Smith’s words and shared multiple stories on Instagram calling out the lifelong ESPN analyst, telling him to mind his own business and stop creating narratives about her husband:</p>

<h2>Westbrook Is Unfazed By Smith’s Comments</h2>
<p>Russell Westbrook, on the other hand, <strong>was the bigger man</strong> and took the high road. He didn’t read much into what Stephen A. Smith had to say and simply said that he’s happy with his life right now:</p>
<p><em>“I don’t say much. I don’t like to go back and forth about people, but one thing I won’t allow to happen anymore is to let people create narratives and constantly just talking sh*t for no reason about me. (…) I use my platform to be able to help people all across the world. Nobody can take that away from me. I’ve been blessed to be able to have a platform to do it.

<p>Smith was out of line when he said that those numbers weren’t impressive. We take Westbrook for granted because he’s used to breaking those kinds of records. On the other hand, Westbrook hasn’t learned from his mistakes and has refused to change his game to actually help a team win, and that’s why he’ll always be called out <strong>regardless of how impressive his numbers are.</strong></p>

<p>When a basketballer ends a game with a quadruple-doubleby getting ten or more points, rebounds, steals, blocks, or assists, <strong>that goes to the books immediately</strong> alongside every other superstar who did it before.</p>
<p>However, <strong>a playermay scorea “quadruple-double” but in a worse, sarcasticway</strong>of calling it. It happened many times,evento the greatestofthis sport, thatone of the categories in which they finished with10+was in turnovers.</p>

<h2>The NBA players with”quadruple-doubles”with turnovers</h2>

<p>Hall of Famer <strong>Jason Kidd</strong> <strong>had the highest turnovers- 14 – while he reached the 10+ mark in three other categories</strong> in <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/phoenix-suns-t94622" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Phoenix Suns</a>‘ loss against <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-york-knicks-t92326" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Knicks</a>in November 2000.

<p>However, Kidd wasn’t the only one who suffered this.

NBA players who recorded "quadruple-doubles" with 10+ turnovers

NBA players who recorded "quadruple-doubles" with 10+ turnovers - Bolavip US

<p><strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA </a>superstars </strong>make more money in one minute than most people in one month. That’s why some fans often feel entitled to tellthem whatever comes from the top of their head, demanding nothing but perfection out of them and calling them out whenever they don’t get the job done. Moreover, if their team goes against another, fans often take to social media to let their rivals feel the – virtual – heat. Twitter offers trolls the ability to<strong> call out and cuss other people</strong> without having to be face-to-face with them.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>So, even though NBA players have millions of fans all over the world, they also have plenty of haters and their fair share of criticism. Some use that as<strong> fuel and motivation</strong>, while others tend to crumble under pressure.</p>
<p>That’s why a study conducted by TopRatedCasinos.co.uk was determined to know who were the <strong>most cyber-bullied NBA players</strong> right now, analyzing their mentions and the percentage of negative tweets they got.</p>
<p><strong>Honorable Mentions:</strong><em><strong>Kyrie Irving (20.7%),Kevin Durant (21.7%), andLeBron James (22.1%)</strong></em></p>
<h2><strong>3. Joel Embiid (22.3%)</strong></h2>
<p></p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Unsurprisingly, <strong>Joel Embiid</strong> makes the podium here. He’s made a living out of making fun of his teammates, rivals, and pretty much every single person in the world, so he may not be that worried about his reputation. He’s a bit of a troll himself, so it’s only right.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/philadelphia-76ers-t102083" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia 76ers</a> superstar got 22.3% of negative tweets going against him. He’s got a reputation of being a flopper and he thrives when people call him out, so I bet<strong> he’s just laughing </strong>to know this.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Another unsurprising player makes the cut. <strong>Russell Westbrook</strong> is one of the most polarizing figures around the NBA. His talent and physical gifts are undeniable but his attitude and – lack of – basketball IQ are often exasperating, even for his team’s fans.</p>
<p>Westbrook has claimed over and over that he’s never going to change the way he is nor the way he plays the game, and that’s why it seems like he’s finally <strong>falling off a cliff</strong>. Hopefully, he’ll turn things around rather sooner than later.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>And last, but not least, we find<strong> Stephen Curry,</strong> the most hated player around the web. This was a bit of a surprise, considering that he was also the player who got the most total positive tweets among those studied.</p>
<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Curry</a> is quite petty when he hits his <strong>dagger threes</strong> and is often goofing around on the bench when his team is winning, so there’s no wonder why he’s rubbed multiple fans the wrong way over the years.</p>

<h2>Top 5 NBA Stars Under The Most Pressure In 2021</h2>
<h2>5. Russell Westbrook</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Russell Westbrook" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Russell Westbrook" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210103_BUS_167346_russell_westbrook.jpg_22993414_00378a9b.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Russell Westbrook. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Russell Westbrook </strong>has posted numbers no other player in NBA history has been able to do but that hasn’t translated in a ring. He’s been traded twice in the past two seasons and now has to lead the <strong>Washington Wizards</strong> to the playoffs for the first time in two years.</p>
<p>Westbrook has been deemed a stat-padder and his haters claim that he doesn’t care about winning. The Wizards got off to a rough start and it will be on him and <strong>Bradley Beal </strong>to silence their critics and protect their legacy.</p>
<h2>4. Giannis Antetokounmpo</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Giannis Antetokounmpo" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Giannis Antetokounmpo" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210103_BUS_167346_giannis_antetokounmpo.jpg_22993414_5b0d2448.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Giannis Antetokounmpo. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Giannis Antetokounmpo</strong> recently signed the largest contract in NBA history. As such, he’ll be demanded and pressured to deliver when it matters the most, especially considering his history of underperforming in the playoffs.</p>
<p>It’s NBA Finals or bust for Giannis and the <strong>Milwaukee Bucks,</strong> regardless of what he says. He’s a back-to-back MVP and reigning Defensive Player of the Year but needs to step up in the postseason to be taken seriously as a superstar.</p>
<h2>3. LeBron James</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="LeBron James" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="LeBron James" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210103_BUS_167346_lebron_james.jpg_22993414_2dcef73f.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    LeBron James. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>LeBron James</strong> is coming off winning his fourth NBA Championship, so why should he be under pressure? Well, because he’s LeBron James, and he’s always measured by a different standard than the rest of the league.</p>
<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron’s </a>haters will always try to find a way to take him down. They’ve been waiting for father time to catch up with him for years now, and some people actually believe that last season’s ring has an asterisk next to it. As per usual, <strong><em>The King </em>will silence them.</strong></p>
<h2>2. Kyrie Irving</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Kyrie Irving" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Kyrie Irving" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210103_BUS_167346_kyrie_irving.jpg_22993414_0dc28c40.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Kyrie Irving. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>There’s no doubt that <strong>Kyrie Irving</strong> is one of the most talented scorers in the history of basketball. However, he’s gotten a lot of negative attention because of his antics, weird views, and the way he’s handled the media and his teammates in the past.</p>
<p>Now, he needs to prove that he can once again embrace playing with another superstar in <strong>Kevin Durant</strong>. The <strong>Brooklyn Nets </strong>spent a lot of money on them, and it’s time for him to pay back bymaking another run at the NBA Finals.</p>
<h2>1. Stephen Curry</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Stephen Curry" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Stephen Curry" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210103_BUS_167346_stephen_curry.jpg_22993414_eea9082b.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Stephen Curry. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>No other NBA superstar will be under more pressure than <strong>Stephen Curry</strong> this year. The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/golden-state-warriors-t101550" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Golden State Warriors</strong></a> will once again be without <strong>Klay Thompson</strong> and their roster is far from optimal, to say the least.</p>
<p>Curry is fully healthy and there’s no room for excuses anymore. He must lead the Dubs to the playoffs if he doesn’t want his flawless legacy to take a massive hit. Otherwise, people will start questioning <strong>whether he was actually as good as we say he is.</strong></p>

The 5 NBA stars under the most pressure in 2021

The 5 NBA stars under the most pressure in 2021 - Bolavip US

<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/houston-rockets-t102082" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Houston Rockets</strong></a> are being exposed right now. They implemented a lax culture centered around <strong>what James Harden wants, </strong>even letting him have the final say on every staff member’s hiring or firing.</p>
<p>Obviously, every superstar in the league will get some special treatment of all sorts, but the Rockets <strong>haven’t won an <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> championship</strong> under Harden’s watch and now, after all they gave him, he’s poised to leave.</p>
<p>That’s why ESPN reached out to several current and former staff members to know exactly how is Harden’s command over the franchise, with one even stating that they’re just like<strong> ‘an organized AAU team</strong>‘ because of James’ constant delays and antics.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-52">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<h2>James Harden Controls The Houston Rockets, Says Staff Member</h2>
<p><em>“We knew who the boss of the organization was. That’s just part of what the deal was when you go to Houston. The players, coaches, GM, owner all know. <strong>I don’t blame James. I blame the organization. It’s not his fault. He did what they allowed him to do,</strong>” </em>a former staff member told ESPN.</p>
<p><em>“If they have multiple days off, everybody knows: <strong>James is going to fly somewhere else and party.</strong> But he’s going to come back and have a 50-point triple-double, so they’re OK with it,” </em>another one added.</p>
<p>That’s cool, I mean, if he gets the job done, then he’s entitled to doing whatever he wants when he’s off the clock. Then again, he must at least stay in shape <strong>and not show up in the condition he did to training camp.</strong><span></span></p>

<h2>Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook Wanted To Leave James Harden</h2>
<p>Moreover, the Rockets have given everything Harden has asked and needed to finally win a ring. However, it seems like it never works and yet they refuse to hold him accountable, which is one of the reasons why <strong>Chris Paul</strong> reportedly didn’t want to stay in Houston:</p>
<p><em>“One of Paul’s biggest beefs, sources said, was that<strong> Harden basically opted not to participate in the Rockets’ offense when the ball wasn’t in his hands</strong>, sometimes barely stepping over half court while spectating when Paul had the ball,</em>” the report read.</p>
<p>As for <strong>Russell Westbrook</strong>, once again Houston’s lax culture backfired, as he reportedly felt like there wasn’t a true leadership on the team and he was uncomfortable due to his relentless work ethic:</p>
<p><span></span></p>

<div id="relatedNews-88">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p><em>“Houston’s casual culture appalled Westbrook. In Oklahoma City, despite the fact that he enjoyed the same sort of superstar privileges as Harden has had in Houston, the Thunder operated <strong>with the discipline of a military unit under Westbrook’s watch</strong>. The Rockets were a stark contrast, especially last season under D’Antoni, who was never known as a disciplinarian and who was a lame duck in the last year of his contract after extension negotiations infamously fizzled twice over the summer,</em>” the story concluded.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, Harden has earned the right to try and be in control of his destiny and join the team he wants, but the Rockets should finally show him who’s calling the shots and stop caving in to the demands of<strong> a player that hasn’t even taken them to the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/nba-rings-teams-with-most-championships-20200929-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA Finals.</a></strong></p>

The reason why Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook hated playing with James Harden

The reason why Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook hated playing with James Harden - Bolavip US

<p>Over the past year-and-a-half,<strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> NBA</a> players </strong>have taken a strong stance against <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/donald-trump-t132193" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Donald Trump </strong></a>and several members of the Republican Party, even threatening to sit out the season unless they addressed some issues of social injustice.</p>
<p>The NBA boycotted a playoff game and players voiced their social views and concerns in their jerseys and the hardwood, up to the point where they forced team owners to commitmoney and their platforms<strong> to empower African American voters.</strong></p>
<p>Now, it seems like that stance has gone to a whole new level, as<strong> James Harden and Russell Westbrook</strong> reportedly want to get out of the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/houston-rockets-t102082" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Houston Rockets</a> </strong>because of the team’s owner’s close relationship with Donald Trump.</p>

<h2>James Harden And Russell Westbrook Want Out Of The Houston Rockets Because Of Tilman Fertitta’s Friendship With Donald Trump</h2>
<p>Harden and Westbrook demanded a trade a couple of days ago, and<strong> Rich Buchner of Bleacher Report </strong>recently claimed that a turning point was how invested <strong>Tilman Fertitta</strong> was in Trump’s campaign:</p>

<p><em>“I’m hearing that Tilman Fertitta’s <strong>strong Republican support and donations</strong> is one of the things that is contributing to this dissatisfaction, and those two are not the only ones to want out of Houston,” </em>Buchner reported.</p>
<p>Both players are still under contract and the Rockets have no rush to move them whatsoever. Then again, it doesn’t seem healthy or sustainabl<strong>e to keep your two best players on the team if they don’t want to be there.</strong></p>

<p>If this is true, Harden and Westbrook would be setting<strong> a strong – yet controversial – precedent</strong> that could continue to backfire for the rest of the league in terms of ratings and audience. But it would also show just how committed they are to inspiring change.</p>

The real reason why James Harden and Russell Westbrook want to leave the Rockets - Bolavip US

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LeBron James </strong></a>is widely recognized as one of the greatest <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA </a>players of all time. H</strong>e’s been a class act on and off the court but it seems like not even him can handle <strong>Russell Westbrook’s </strong>antics and trash-talking.</p>
<p>The <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a></strong> jumped to an early lead in<strong> Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals </strong>and had a 3-1 lead in the series, so there was not much room for mistakes or adjustments in the<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Houston Rockets’</a> </strong>end.</p>
<p>However, that didn’t stop Westbrook <strong>from talking his talk,</strong> curse people out, and move around as if it was his team the one in the lead. Hilariously, not even The King could handle it anymore and he ruthlessly mocked him.</p>

<p>Russell is one of the most talented players and most gifted athletes on earth but it seems like his trash-talking<strong> isn’t always backed up on the court</strong>, especially considering how rusty he looked in the playoffs.</p>
<h2>Houston Rockets: Uncertain Future</h2>
<p><strong>No one knows what’s going to happen next with the</strong> <strong>Houston Rockets. </strong>They made a huge bet by trading away several picks to pair Russell Westbrook with James Harden again but clearly it didn’t work out the way they expected.</p>
<p>Now, whether <strong>Daryl Morey and Mike D’Antoni</strong> will stay with the team remains to be seen. They were all-in in the small-ball and it paid off during the regular season but clearly lacked the personnel to make adjustments in the playoffs.</p>

<p></p>
<p>As for Westbrook and Harden, they continued to underperform when it matters the most and their legacy is being questioned now more than ever. Again, it feels like they’ll go down as players<strong> with great stats and no silverware to show for it.</strong></p>

Ruthless: LeBron James mocks Russell Westbrook

Ruthless: LeBron James mocks Russell Westbrook - Bolavip US

<p><strong>Russell Westbrook</strong>has been far from his usual self this<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> season. It was clear that he had to make an adjustment if he wanted to thrive next to<strong> James Harden</strong> and now that he’s been hurt to start the playoffs, he’s having quite a tough time to get his legs back under him.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/houston-rockets-t102082" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Houston Rockets </strong></a>upset the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Lakers</strong></a> in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals and jumped to an early lead in the series. However, their joy would not last for long as LeBron James and company hit the ground running in Game 2 to even the series with a 117-109 win.</p>
<p>LA was up for as much as 22 points at some point in the first half. Houston rallied back and eventook the lead back late in the game, but somehow it seemed like <strong>Westbrook constantly found the way to give them the lead right back.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-73">  <span class="item first"></span> <span class="item second"></span> <span class="item third"></span></div>
<p></p>
<p>Once again air-balling shots, racking up late-game turnovers, and struggling to get anything going on both ends of the floor, Westbrook finished the game with10 points (on 15 shots, 1/7 from three, 1/3 from the line), <strong>7 turnovers, and a +/- of -14.</strong></p>
<p><span></span> </p>

<div id="relatedNews-3">   </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Westbrook even acknowledged at the end of the game that he needs to hit the film room and find out how to be more efficient because<em><strong> </strong>he’s<strong> ‘just running around right now’</strong></em>. Needless to say, the internet was again merciless to one of the most controversial players of the <a href="http://nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA.</a></p>

<p>It’s still too early to hit the panic button. The series is tied at one win apiece and a player as talented as Russell Westbrook should have no trouble bouncing back. Then again, he must do a better job at reading the game and being humble enough to know when his shot isn’t falling. If the Rockets advance, <strong>both the Clippers or Nuggets would represent a massive challenge with their strong backcourt defense.</strong></p>

NBA Twitter blasts Russell Westbrook after massive dud vs. Lakers

NBA Twitter blasts Russell Westbrook after massive dud vs. Lakers - Bolavip US

<p><strong>Russell Westbrook</strong> is one of the most talented and athletic players in the history of the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a></strong>. He can do it all – but shoot – on the hardwood and has already written his name in the history books by averaging a triple-double multiple times. That’s why <strong>he’s not worried about<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> LeBron James </a>or the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a></strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a>ahead of their playoff meeting.</p>
<p>Westbrook has made a name for himself<strong> for being the most confident guy you’ll know</strong>. That’s his blessing and his curse, as that mentality has made him a fearless competitor who’s willing to put his body on the line on every single possession but that has also made him commit avoidable mistakes in the clutch over and over.</p>
<p>Then again, the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/houston-rockets-t102082" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Houston Rockets</strong></a> will only go as far as Westbrook and <strong>James Harden</strong> can take them. They enter the <strong>Western Conference Semifinals </strong>as big underdogs, yet the Brodie doesn’t seem to care at all.</p>

<h2>Russell Westbrook Plays Down The Lakers Ahead Of Playoff Matchup</h2>
<p>So, when asked about his biggest concern about the Los Angeles Lakers ahead of their Western Conference Semifinals matchup, the All-Star point guard replied in the most Russell Westbrook fashion by stating that<strong> he never worries about the other team, regardless of who they are.</strong></p>

<p><em>“Actually, <strong>I never worry about the other team man</strong>, I think that when we play the way we need to play it’s tough to beat us.

<p></p>
<p>Westbrook <strong>was clearly rusty </strong>during his first couple of games vs. the <strong>Oklahoma City Thunder </strong>after missing some time with a calf injury but he looked like his usual self in Game 7. However, he must take better care of the ball vs. the Lakers’ great perimeter defense.</p>

Russell Westbrook plays down LeBron and the Lakers ahead of playoff series

Russell Westbrook plays down LeBron and the Lakers ahead of playoff series - Bolavip US

<p>It goes without saying that <strong>Russell Westbrook</strong> is one of the best players in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a>. He’s a dominant point guard that can do it all on both ends of the court and fill the stat sheet, and his never-ending energy is why the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/houston-rockets-t102082" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Houston Rockets</strong></a> traded for him last summer. Even so, there was a reasonable doubt about whether he was what the Rockets needed to take a step forward and finally put an end to their championship drought.</p>
<p>Westbrook’s ability to push the pace and go 0-100 in a heartbeat was tailor-made for the Rockets’ run-and-gun offense. He was arguably a better fit than <strong>Chris Paul</strong> and had a close relationship with <strong>James Harden,</strong> so even if it was a costlymove for the Rockets, it was definitely worth it, at least in the paper.</p>
<p>However, the thing that makes him great is also the very same thing that has cost his teams countless times, especially in the playoffs. <strong>Westbrook tends to be overconfident </strong>so he tries to do too much, doesn’t read the game in clutch situations, and turns the ball over/bricks shots when it matters most despite having an all-time great scorer as a teammate.</p>

<p>The Houston Rockets had the lead late in the fourth quarter of a series-clinching game vs. the <strong>Oklahoma City Thunder,</strong> his former team. <strong>He proceeded to brick some shots, airball another, and then have a late-game turnover </strong>(his 7th of the night)that eventually led his team to a 104-100 loss.</p>

<p>This has happened over and over to him. Westbrook is arguably the fastest and most athletic player in the <a href="http://nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a>. He can take everybody on earth one-on-one but <strong>that doesn’t mean he needs to prove it every time he’s on the floor.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Now, the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/oklahoma-city-thunder-t91653" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Thunder</a> have a legit shot at handing him yet another first-round exit. </strong>Ironically, it’ll be the same team that the Rockets gave multiple picks just to get rid of Chris Paul and trade for, yeah, Russell Westbrook.</p>
