Things Get Heated Between Russell Westbrook & Reporter

Berry Tramel, a reporter from The Oklahoman newspaper, and Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Russell Westbrook got into a bit of a back-and-forth during Game 4's postgame presser.

[@magaman5154]

Steven in a NASA shirt from Target. What a humble legend

[@janfloydbaluyan318]

@Luke Drinking from Alien Titty Well somebody saw adams shopping at Walmart one time

[@noahmurillo2464]

Damn I didn’t know they had his size

[@greg20423]

He still human sheesh

[@magacop5180]

Earth is flat

[@israelpolanco5240]

It's from WISH

[@amandaparfait9468]

That intentionally missed free throw & rebound by Adams was one of the best plays I've ever seen in my life. Adams is different. Russ came thru with the big shot as well!

[@jessicarukuata-joynson938]

So good aye he does have good highlight plays like his long ball throws to ja and Dennis and his bullet pass feed to roberson

[@dniceo7]

1:32 Adams: "nah, I'm good" lol

[@KingJohn301]

Dennis Sullivan I live every time I watch that shit

[@shipwreckedpoet3]

“I had a question for Steven!” 🤣😆😂

[@gtgamesnapz]

"And it.... wasn't answered"

[@jeffster5421]

He is the definition of a team leader

[@TheTariqibnziyad]

Jeffster54 no thats Lebron, russ is a team owner

[@neeko2127]

Jeffster54 thats why they down 3-1 right

[@lugalkien3599]

Jeffster54 Lmao Lebron is the coach, GM and leader of Cleveland

[@bigxchubstv6056]

Neeko21 OMG can't u understand his teammates are less than decent

[@mav2503]

Jeffster54 no he's the definition of a badass

[@Loyal_homie100]

From that day He’s still waiting for steven to answer the question 😂

[@connorscottfrank]

still days where i miss the OG thunder, but really embracing our guys now. We really are building an amazing new squad and the future is gonna be so amazing. Might be a 3 layered superstar squad again

[@theisfnatic5551]

Your squad is a beast now congrats

[@GroovyLogan]

6 years ago damn time flies

[@juicedadon3248]

Sht crazy

[@spotstudio6701]

I HAD A QWESTION FER STEVIN AND IT WASNT AWNSERWED! Lol that accent

[@celticsgirl]

Roast King LMAO

[@TillNextTimes]

Roast King Yo was hella mad 😡😡😂

[@musicandme1982]

Roast King I know he was scared to

[@Chase-wu9wk]

I died. Lol

[@kiramora]

Reporter was bout to cry

[@aegontargaryensixthofhisname]

russ’ physique at this point was unmatched

[@vmurda415]

Still is no homo. DId you not see man's playoff pre-game fits? lmao

[@tyshawn5983]

He’s still built like that I think

[@LilJuIzzy]

Steven Adams pointed to Westbrook to answer the question 😂, " I had a question for steven". This is why steven adams stil in the NBA.

[@UPxYOURs2]

Why the reporter sound like Dave Chappelle?😂

[@jamesfriesen9633]

All of Steven's answers in the first half of this interview were on point! 😂

[@purecountry2797]

Russel won a lot of respect as a team leader on that first q.

[@sleepingforest8797]

That's call HEART people. Tell em Russ

[@georgekarmis9203]

The reporter pissed me off

[@davetrachtenberg6855]

Wow. Russell Westbrook's maturation over the years has been amazing to watch, his responses are heartfelt, team oriented, and completely valuing the whole over the individual in every way. Kudos Russ!

[@allof8596]

Remember when Durant did this to back up Russell and where is Durant now I think history is reappearing itself

[@daddychill145]

stfu

[@allof8596]

I'm a okc fan but history repeats itself

[@alexb8964]

All Of exactly what i was thinking😂nice to see that history did repeat itself in this case

[@lesprentice9879]

All Of Don't you Love when history reappears itself?

[@ITz_Enigma]

History is Repeating Itself, or you could have said that history has come full circle which means the same thing really, Just thought I'd tell you that

[@mscottlawrence2037]

I think that reporter is actually a thunder reporter, he is an older guy with white hair, I've seen him on the thunder pre game show

[@brandonsprenger3286]

Scott Lawrence It’s ol Barry Tramel. He’s the sports columnist at The Oklahoman

[@eczotiic8026]

Brandon Sprenger oh Russell HATES him. When I mean HATE, I mean H.A.T.E

[@WhoseIAm7]

​@@eczotiic8026cuz he sucks

[@athanasiacolumbus1171]

Tramel also went on Dan Patrick's show and said some unflattering things about Westbrook during MVP season.....

[@goodperson7205]

Steven class act every game

[@selfishstockton6123]

I had a question for Steven and it wasn’t answered! 😰

[@jeebuzcrust]

I understand why he wants to shield the team... but man... he puts up historic numbers and nobody else shows up. Maybe they need thrown under the bus.

[@fiscer247]

jeebuzcrust He doesn't want a reputation of being a bad teammate. He is already known for being a ball hog. Why add bad teammate to that list. But deep down I think he is a good teammate and person.

[@jeebuzcrust]

I totally get what you're saying. But the team completely struggles without him on the court... +14 with him, -18 without last game. Sucks, don't get to see a lot of OKC games here and he's by far the most fun to watch.

[@TryPuttingItInRice]

jeebuzcrust Yeah because the best way to win games is throw your team out to the wolves and blame them for the team not winning games as your in the playoffs.

[@jeebuzcrust]

Obviously shielding them from criticism is working great for them though, makes sense.

[@Mr-bp4vt]

KD did the right move

[@tylermokarry9731]

I love how Adams just shrugs 1:32

[@g9kyra]

Just love this dude! Adams as well as he continued to ignore the question backing Russ up. Haters stfu no leadership blabla, you guys know nothing

[@michaelreyes6258]

g9kyra ....your dude is an arrogant cry baby....

[@g9kyra]

Exactly - playing hard all night, every night, never looking for excuses even when he would have those. Man go back to school and learn what a word means before you talk to adults

[@schuylersavage276]

g9kyra does he ever play hard man to man defense tho? Hm?

[@jonah1940]

"Love" . . . Hm🤔 Sounds kinda buttery don't you think ? Butter boys stick up for butter boys ! Ha ha ha ha ha RW is a joke, and so are you ! ! !

[@chamberlainwonder369]

Russel is in the top 5 without a doubt. Like it or not and will be till this day..

[@ohmydog9171]

top 5 what? thunder players all time ? lol hes not a top 5 point guard of all time either, top 10 all time pg sure

[@inhnamhoang9411]

Magic, steve nash, curry, jason kidd, chris paul,..

[@celsworld2706]

If Russ was a stretch big that just shot 3s, or a 3&D wing you can say that. Bro is a point guard that doesn’t understand the game. Lol it’s proven. When he was the man in OKC and was ball dominant and racking up all those stats they had great games but NEVER won anything. When he needed to be a piece to a championship team he didn’t know how to produce. He’s a (put asses in seats) exciting player but one of the best ? Y’all crazy !

[@joejoemartinez6059]

​@@ohmydog9171 if he's gets a ring he'll be top 5 all time. Imo

[@joejoemartinez6059]

​@@inhnamhoang9411 actually your whole list is trash

[@cindy6787]

Adams not saying anything says everything. Don’t try to pit players against each other. That ‘interviewer’ was making his own statement/opinion about Nate as of actually asking an interesting question.

[@buckeyenation7247]

He's become my favorite athlete of late. He's a warrior, a leader and he's been loyal to OKC.

[@TrippyForReall]

russle too humble, love dis guy man.

[@abelaldrich9384]

Exactly im an OKC fan man he is the Franchise

[@jaytok7]

i came back after all these years to check if adams actually answered the question 😂

[@ericawalker5712]

Russell is a savage

[@Bornflyhuhu]

It was cool how Steven backed Russ when the baby reporter wanted Steven to talk but he just shrugged him lol

[@samuniang5350]

Next question please

[@brian1446]

i love russel he says what he wants when he wants and doesn't take crap from anyone

[@howardpower]

Lol Stephen Adams and his nasa shirt. Cool cat man.

[@bellerisagel7060]

Westbrook looks and sounds like JarJar binks from starwars 😂😂

[@damagedone56]

The team needs to pick it up! Russell a beast

[@luckynorthcarolina9912]

Last time somebody spoke for him n look what happened add it up 😂😂😂😂😂

[@michaeljf1972]

He should have asked Russ why do you fall down every time you do a layup

[@allanperalta6748]

Westbrook and James are good brothers. The stat padding family all time best can't argue more

[@HansumRob100]

That's awkward... but these 2 together are like a thunder and lightning... take 1 out and the whole thing just collapse...

[@CallMeYezzus]

Steven Adams listens to daddy

[@tyshawn5983]

😂😂😂😂😂wtf

[@jomomma8754]

"Good execution"

[@brandoncampbell5993]

Is that Steven Adams or aquaman?

[@MateusHenrique-of4bc]

Or Roman reigns

[@drewdrewski6278]

I'm not a Westbrook fan, but kind of respect what he did here!

[@benrice804]

I hate it when reports call Nene "Nae-Nae" like what

[@davidobregon5787]

Aqua man doesn't speak if it's not about money

[@JohnHerrick1987]

I was the guy that asked the next question to Russell after that whole awkward exchange. To say I was terrified would be an understatement lol. Hence why I stumbled so much.

[@aldenwest3641]

bro what

[@bestvinecompilations5111]

Next question!!!!!!

[@mrchards37]

Adams looking like Dathraqi homeboy from Game of Thrones

[@yfnkeyshawnwilson1491]

He basicly said that when he go out the team is not that good that's basically saying that is all about him

[@peaceful4you408]

Russell Westbrook made a valid point against the reporter. I 100% agree with him.

[@kenrobinson7563]

Name of this reporter?

[@ohmydog9171]

Berry Tramel

[@WhoseIAm7]

Dick Goober

[@teamsami123]

Russ let Adams have his moments too, stop being a mic hog. Lol

[@renatam-r9665]

adams is a guy who will only speak when he really needs to, otherwise he'd stay quiet the whole time

[@Idekatthispointlol]

Sami lmao

[@junnjunn1671]

[@davidreese6925]

Sami stfu

[@rominer234]

Sami I don't think you realized that the reporter asked dumb ass question

[@MrHalfaks09]

Mad dawg ain't gonna let anyone split the team up .. Westbrook fire!

[@allmight5919]

1:21 bro what?😂

[@alvii8954]

Who's to say that Russ speaks for the team 😂 should explain for his game and should silently develop his game for the future before getting traded 🤔🤷

[@selfishstockton6123]

Alvii 89 well now he is traded

[@alvii8954]

Man I call it how I see it

[@Beercat96]

How do people like Westbrick? He only get triple doubles because he takes a ton of shots, and he treats reporters like this. He'll go down as a good player with a shit personality who cant win in the playoffs without KD.

[@swishking5101]

J Romanowitz go back to soccer you dont understand this game

[@Beercat96]

@@swishking5101 wow, a butthurt okc fan! Chill, you got beat by a better team. It happens. At least I understand players who shoot 31 shots in a playoff game who are supposed to be elite should make more than 11. What makes you think I'm a soccer fan? That was a weird comment, lol. I understand this game perfectly well. If you're going to comment, at least TRY to sound like you aren't 12 and just looking for attention

[@swishking5101]

I hate the thunder, and i came here to make fun of the reporters

[@Beercat96]

@@swishking5101 ok, well that makes your comment even weirder.... I also hate OKC. Westbrook is overrated. You seriously sounded like 12 in your first comment.

they should always provide a roll of toilet paper at the press conference when his talking. cuz you smell the feces when he opens his mouth😄😅😆😂🤣💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

[@jamesmoore49]

West Brook is so right bout the argument! Split team up bring a serious confusion and aggregation to each other. He right bout next question and the team can still play well wit out west brook

Come on R-Dub. You are better than this. #FucKD #WestbrookForMVP

[@MentalMarcYT]

caveloc you're down 3-1 why are you talking about KD?

[@caveloc]

DGAF. I'm gonna rep my city & my team. Why you ask? cuz I can do that! That's why.

[@NikateeN]

Russ kickin’ it with Roman Reigns

[@Stephaniestiner]

Everybody saying he’s attitude is out of line is dumb af, Westbrook was 100% right on what he said.. dude basically saying he’s team is shitty without him on the court but I feel where Westbrook is coming from

[@kingdarryl7592]

SX F0G - exactly, he's defending his team from reporters trying to point out weak spots.

[@vallecend6855]

"NYATHING I'm gonna keep the microphone" XD dumbass reporter

you're a soft ass bitch

ok im sorry i shall repent now

[@deywannawanga9660]

I don't want to answer the question

[@caprorealestate6752]

Let thé man answer question of the reporter You re not allowed to do that not polite from Westbrook

[@johnrae2896]

Next question !

[@robertbragg9364]

I think he handled that well. These reporter's always try to cause controversy. He's an all-star and plays as such. He supposed to shoot alot and that's what he does.

[@crazyfamily7503]

He sounds like doctor Phil 😂

[@mattmontgomery8999]

Why don't you tell who the reporter is in the title? We all know who Barry is and the history between him and Brook. Murdoch or Bobby, whomever posted this, please tell Jim to touch on this when Dominant Duo comes on today with Tram. Thanks!

[@alvii8954]

Love the NASA shirt from guy ✌️👽🤙

[@mrgreentea1411]

There was no reason for him get upset though... I don't think the reporter had some ulterior motive to divide the team. Lol

[@deonfenbauercomments3990]

He tryna to do everything dang on and off the court

[@ameerallen4180]

I just had that Gatorade

[@champagnekaay57]

why did Westbrook do the interview he know he have lost that touch not good last season or this season

[@Dre-xc2no]

First of all, Russ should be doing his post-game press conferences by himself. Obviously he's sensitive to the whole one-man team thing. But he should've just let his teammate speak for himself.

[@fantastictv3374]

HE IS A SAVAGE

[@t100base]

russ trying to hide the fact that okc thunder is just a ship for russ to get stats.

[@glennbautista9427]

Just like how Westbrook steals rebounds from Adams!what a cocky dude!

[@tanyasipes2389]

Agree with Russell, don't split them up..after watching the interview from game 3, I had to watch this to see why he says next question..Barry is a good reporter but you did disrespect the team here

Go Russell, the media is just nasty
