Shannon Sharpe has had enough of the people who constantly defend Russell Westbrook all the time no matter what happens.
The NFL hall of fame tight end took to Undisputed on Tuesday and compared supporters of Westbrook to supporters of former President Donald Trump.
“What I don’t get is this Trump-like support of Russ… he’s on his 5th team in 5 years. So all of these teams are wrong? Lakers, Wizards, Thunder, Rockets… everybody was wrong?”
Skip Bayless adds, “You stumped me with the Trump-Westbrook comparison. You’re right!”
It didn’t quite work out for Russell Westbrook at the Los Angeles Lakers, but there was a sense of optimism when he joined the Clippers.

Unfortunately, the Clippers lost five-straight games as soon as Westbrook started playing. The team is currently on a three-game winning streak. Much like his time with the Lakers, Westbrook has been a turnover machine as he has 32 turnovers in eight games played.
In another weird stat, the Clippers are 0-5 when he takes double-digits shots a game, but undefeated when he takes less than 10. Clearly the key is to stop him from shooting too much.
