Crazy scene with Westbrook, Lakers fans yell at him not to shoot
Russell Westbrook had an unprecedented moment in the Lakers-Knicks game when at one point he was preparing to attempt a three-pointer and LA fans yelled at him not to do it.
Russell Westbrook has yet to adjust to the Lakers. He doesn’t remember. Still, what he witnessed in the match against the Knicks (122-115 win in overtime for LA) was definitely unprecedented as he heard his team fans screaming not to shoot!
The game was in its fourth season as the Lakers came back from -21 when Westbrook took a pass from Malik Monk into the left corner. At that moment he saw Mitchell Robinson approaching and pretending hesitating to shoot. Suddenly there was a loud “No!!” on the field, which even impressed the commentator of the game!
Westbrook wasn’t discouraged, however, and eventually attempted the three-pointer, which found no target. However, in the build-up phase, Anthony Davis got the offensive rebound and scored a basket and a foul.

This phase was just one of the awkward moments between the Lakers friends and the former All Star Guard. Because earlier in the same game, the friends of the team congratulated him after a missed shot in the second period:
For the record, Westbrook finished the game 5 points with 1/10 shots (0/3 3-points), 3/7 shots (missed a few shots in the regular season finale), 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 1 cut, and 4 errors in 29 minutes of participation while remaining on the bench in overtime.
