The Oklahoma City Thunder may have defeated the best team in the NBA on Friday night, but All-Star guard Russell Westbrook was in no mood to speak to the media following the impressive victory over the Golden State Warriors.
When Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch does this, it comes with mixed reviews. Some think it’s just Lynch being Lynch. Others take issue with his unwillingness to actually communicate with the media.
As for Westbrook, this was just hard to watch. Look at his body language. He obviously wanted no part of the reporters here.
Here’s the full transcript of the “interview.”

It’s obvious there is someone covering the Thunder that Westbrook doesn’t like. That said, there was absolutely no professionalism here.
As it is, the star guard finished Friday’s win with one of the best stat lines in the NBA this season. He recorded 17 points, 15 rebounds and 17 assists in the impressive 127-115 win.
