Russell Westbrook says he likes Nick Gallo, but doesn’t like Barry Tramel. I can understand why. Nick Gallo is nothing more than a Thunder employed lapdog. Funny how the glow to answers goes poof when Gallo is through asking questions of Russell Westbrook.
From a completely objective view, usually the only semi-difficult questions tossed Westbrook’s way come from either Barry Tramel or Erik Horne. The rest of the local media appears to be intimidated by Westbrook. If indeed Westbrook respects the level of Nick Gallo’s ‘journalism’ then I would say Russell and the Thunder shouldn’t even make him available to the local media moving forward. There’s no reason to continue doing these postgame pressers. Pass on Westbrook and interview the other players.
