[KenHeLive @KenHeLive]

A lot of you lame ass niggas owe Pablo Torre an apology for hating on true journalism in defense of a billionaire. Fucking weirdos.

Hey @PabloTorre have you heard of a team called Manchester City?

Before the Premier League season starts, I want to categorically state that I hate Arsenal with all my heart, and I wish them nothing but misery this season

I watched this demon and Son throughout all of my teenage years, and they want me to be happy with 'Solanke' and 'Richarlison'

@MichaelRedd_ The switch up has been crazy. I’m glad he’s finally getting love but man the media and fans were ruthless to that man for years despite being an incredible off court human and productive on the floor. Always felt targeted. He was the scapegoat for a lot of Bs.

All this love pouring in for Russell Westbrook, and I don't know, part of me is torn on it.

People clowned 0 for years. Got so nasty his wife had to step in and speak out, and he didn't want his own kids at the games anymore. Now he retires and here come all the flowers.

Would've hit different for him hearing some of that back when the whole internet was booing him, you know?

I dunno. Just a thought. Anyway. Be good to people while they can still hear it and while it still matters.

Russell Westbrook retired today with the most triple-doubles in NBA history. The name written on his wrist for all 18 seasons belongs to the kid UCLA actually wanted. That kid died at 16, and Westbrook spent two decades playing for both of them.

Westbrook was a 5'8", 140-pound freshman that no college recruited. The call UCLA's head coach made to his high school in 2004 was about Khelcey Barrs III, Westbrook's best friend from across the street in Hawthorne. A 6'6" phenom pulling scholarship offers as a sophomore. The two had a pact to play at UCLA together, then the NBA.

In May 2004, during a pickup game at LA Southwest College, Barrs collapsed on the court. An undiagnosed enlarged heart.

Westbrook walked across the street every morning after that to do his friend's chores at his grandmother's house. Then he grew 7 inches, averaged 25 a game as a junior, and took the UCLA offer they were supposed to accept together. From that point on he played like a man carrying two careers.

The numbers he put up look like typos.

209 triple-doubles is the most in NBA history, and it took breaking Oscar Robertson's record that stood for 47 years. In 2017 he averaged a triple-double across an entire season, something no human had done since 1962, then did it three more times. 27,176 points, 14th all time. 10,351 assists, 5th all time, behind only Stockton, CP3, Kidd, and LeBron. He did all of it at 6'3" in a league of giants, and outlasted the franchise that drafted him. Seattle picked him 4th in 2008 and stopped existing before he played a game.

And in every one of his 1,301 games, he wore two wristbands. One said KB3. The other said "Why not?"

People spent 18 years asking why he played every possession like the building was on fire. He was playing for two.
