Magic Johnson did not take too kindly to the Lakers’ recent performance against the Nuggets, as he made that known in a recent tweet.
“After being blown out by the Nuggets 133-96, we as Lakers fans can accept being outplayed but we deserve more than a lack of effort and no sense of urgency. Owner Jeanie Buss, you deserve better.”
Westbrook responded to the legendary point guard’s comments when asked about it, as his approach was a bit more diplomatic, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com writes.
“I do not have a reaction,” he said. “Everybody is entitled, in this world, to their opinion. Regardless of what that it is. You can either take it and run with it or you can take it and put it in one ear and out the other or you cannot respond to it.
“Magic’s entitled to his opinion. And he’s not here every day. He’s not around us every day. He’s not aware of what’s going on internally with us and trying to figure things out. But I have no response to that. … Like I said, everyone in this world is entitled to their opinion and that’s that.”
Westbrook is averaging just 10.5 points on 27.3 percent shooting over his last four games, with the Lakers losing three of those games.
