There’s no need for this whole back-and-forth between players. It sounds negative, and that’s why Green called him out.īut that’s not something that has to be done via Instagram or social media. Should Towns be saying Westbrook chases stats? Probably not, even if he didn’t mean it in a negative way. You don’t get the t riple-double record without doing that. Has Westbrook padded stats in the past? Absolutely. This devolved into a petty argument going back and forth between two great players about another one who hasn’t even spoken about the situation himself. This has officially gotten into ridiculous territory. I was the coach? I was told to be in the game with two minutes left down by 20 and I’m the coach? Am I the coach? I’m the coach? Oh s-, I’m Bill Russell.” KAT’s response was, basically, that he didn’t control whether he was in the game or not at that point down 20. Yes, we’re diving into Instagram comment sections. He basically said he’s seen KAT pad stats himself…when the Timberwolves were down 20 to the Warriors a few years back. So he let KAT have it in the Instagram comment sections. That didn’t soften the blow, though.ĭraymond Green didn't like what KAT had to say about Russĭraymond Green took what KAT was saying about Westbrook as a slight to the future Hall of Famer. Do you know how crazy that is? We talked about Oscar Robertson for how many decades? This man came in and does it, like, every year. He won the MVP he was getting 30, 10 and 10 a night. Towns recognized that and talked about it, too. The thing was it actually helped his team, though. When he was hunting for triple-doubles, he was trying to get numbers. Towns didn’t mean any disrespect by his comments about Westbrook chasing stats. That was the thing that set everything off.īut he was actually being complimentary of Westbrook He tries to do too much.”Īnd there it goes. I just think that sometimes he plays too quick. You know how hard it is to get a triple-double? You know how hard it is? And he plays hella hard. But I think he’s a hell of a player, though. Towns said Westbrook definitely chases stats.but not in a bad way He also talked about how some NBA players actually prefer stats over wins.Īnd then Ross did it.

Towns talked about how he didn’t consider himself a stat chaser and just wanted to win games. It’s one of those situations.ĭraymond Green called out Karl-Anthony Towns…who kind of sort of called out Russell Westbrook while doing an interview with Twitch streamer Adin Ross on Monday. About another player who wasn’t even involved in the conversation.

This time the fracas is between a couple of players. The NBA just cannot go a single day without having some sort of stir pop up on the internet.
