Russel Westbrook has been a great player in the last couple years in the league. He has played with many great players in the league. Westbrook has had record breaking season in the last three season of the league. But there was a missing piece of that will pop up. The problem was always hard to find. The problems are very simple, he never truly trusted team mates to take control of game.
Westbrook getting triple doubles is given now days. Its hard to believe that a player could make it a common thing to see. Yet the achievement was in way tainted for the last two season because of reports and video of him getting them with selfless. The problem came with the issue that people started pointing fingers at him for patting stats and not trying to win games. He was known was becoming infamous for not wanting to give up control of all aspects of the game. Being a bad teammate is a way to say that you do not care for winning just your numbers. He did the first year alone when Kevin Durant left for Golden state. The rumors started that he was a bad teammate because the second best player left him for wanting to get stats. After that he avagered a triple double and won a MVP of that year. The second season it came off that he just wanted to do it because of stats stuffing. wanting to make history over wins is what people thought. This season is different because He seems to be in role were he can finally trust someone other then himself. Paul George was playing with for about two seasons and he has been around Westbrook. He has always defended Westbrook in those two years but he backed it up by choosing ton sign a long term contract with the Thunder. This season was a tone shift because Paul took the scoring role while Russell still averages a triple double. But this time it seems like a team effort of the team. He did do everything but now he isn't just looking for stats. The player who once looked selfish seems like a team player again.
Overall Westbrook was seen has a bad teammate for stat stuffing when he should have seen going for wins. westbrook has shown he is willing to let go if the team can pull together.
