@HiNoteee: “It might be time for Russell Westbrook to retire. He still can’t shoot, his finishing at the rim is subpar, his handles are among the worst in the league, he’s bad at the free throw line, and it is very turnover sensitive.
When you’re no longer effective in any way, it’s over.”
It may be time for Russell Westbrook to retire. He still can’t shoot, his finishing at the rim is sub-par, his handles are among the worst in the league, he’s poor at the free throw line, and he’s very prone to turnovers.
