Gordon took issue with the piece, pivoting from reflecting on the loss to offer his thoughts on his teammate. “Really, I don’t feel like talking about the game,” he said. “Earlier I caught wind of an article that came out about Russell Westbrook and our locker room after Game 2, which was a completely arbitrary article and pointless and unnecessary. Russ is one of the most talented basketball players that has ever played the game of basketball. And quite frankly, he’s been great for us all year long. We’re brothers, we spend more time with our team than we do with our family. Of course there’s going to be disagreements. But that conversation wasn’t for anybody other than our own group.” -via Sports Illustrated / May 15, 2025
