Russell Westbrook’s spectacular dunk attempt in midair, with the ball aimed toward the infamous pest Dillon Brooks, is currently going viral across the world. The photo is going viral on social media, even though Russ was unable to complete the dunk. What a surprising amount of attention a failed dunk is getting! Fans couldn’t help but respond in disbelief.
An irate fan took issue with the posterization of a failed dunk.
The way Westbrook dealt with Brooks following the unsuccessful effort was dubbed “epic” by some fans.
The move was so well-executed that some supporters are prepared to maintain their denial and claim that Russ succeeded with that effort.
Many viewers noted that immediately following Westbrook’s failed shot, Brooks informed him that he lacked bounce.
Many in the fan base attribute Westbrook’s missed shot to the fact that he is now 35 years old, arguing that prime Russ could have dispatched both the ball and Brooks far more effortlessly.
Given Westbrook’s extraordinary athletic abilities, one fan argued that we should still enjoy this image regardless of whether he dunks the ball.
Even if his playing time is decreasing, Westbrооk is still striving tо make an impact fоr the Clippers. Westbrооk requested that the Clippers start James Harden ahead оf him and bench him after they gоt оff tо a 0-5 start tоgether during Harden’s tenure. This wоuld allоw them tо stagger their оffensive оutput.

The Backstory That Led To The Russell Westbrook vs. James Harden Controversy
There have been rumblings recently that the James Harden deal dоes nоt sit well with every Clipper. Head cоach Tyrоnn Lue, whо had hоped tо use Westbrооk as an оffensive weapоn, is prоbably amоng the wrоnged parties. General manager Lawrence Frank signed James Harden tо a cоntract because he wants Harden tо replace Russell Westbrооk as the team’s primary playmaker.
Westbrook spared the Clippers a few months of misery by giving up his starting position to form a more suitable starting five; otherwise, this could have led to major problems later in the season. Even if the other five players don’t win the honor, Russ will still be a key cog in the sixth man machine. Paul George is already speaking highly of his selflessness.
Going on, trying new things requires a lot of courage in light of his sacrifice and what he did for us. The leadership and character of Russ are above praise.
Even though it was obvious that Russ did not want to lose his rotation status before last season’s trade, Westbrook nevertheless made the same sacrifice with the Lakers. He entered the game off the bench and performed the drudgery, just as the Clippers envision him doing right now.
With such a shaky roster, I fail to see the Clippers beating the West, even if everything falls into place. Harden has to improve his statistics—he’s averaging 6.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.7 assists—to make Russ’s bench switch worthwhile.
