Westbrook is a bad shooter, but that's not the only narrative
He doesn't add value and is a net negative on teams is primarily the narrative here as well as chasing stats. Russ has basically been on winning teams everywhere he's been, but Washington. He's one of the few guys in NBA history that I've ever seen go from superstar to 6th man without an issue and embrace a new role without pouting and contribute. He wants to win. Many guys before him have taken their show overseas when they get to that point he's at(Marbury, Dwight Howard). I'm not a fan of Westbrook by any means, but his effort over the first 10 years of his career is really something you don't see from many players or have seen from many players historically. What's funny is Doncic in general has won at a lower clip than Westbrook. Prime Russ played a lot of years in OKC and Houston in a similar situation to Doncic(not a great supporting cast) , but the Westbrook hate runs deep in a lot of people.
