Danny Green: It s not James fault that Westbrook can t play without the ball. He played for a few more years after leaving the Lakers.

October 12th Recently, former NBA player Danny Green talked about Kanter's remarks in his personal podcast "Inside The Green Room".

Former NBA player Kanter believes that Westbrook is now without the ball because he was a scapegoat when he was teammates with James in the Lakers.

In this regard, Green said: "What he said is not completely wrong. There is always a scapegoat, and many times that scapegoat is not LeBron. But LeBron has also become a scapegoat many times. We have seen this situation, when he was leaving the Cavaliers. The time he took off his jersey when he left the game in the loss to the Celtics, I was a rookie on the team. He played 23 years, and you can't tell me that he has never been the scapegoat in the previous 22 years.

"He's not the reason why Westbrook didn't find a home. After the two cooperated, Westbrook played for other teams for a few years. But since Westbrook left the Thunder, his locker room personality has been viewed differently. I think he changed himself a bit after going to the Nuggets. He played a very good season, performed well in the playoffs, and shot the three-pointer very well. When he went to play with the Clippers and Nuggets, it looked like he could accept coming off the bench. After he left the Lakers, he may have become a scapegoat. But we all know that he and the Lakers are not suitable, and this cooperation was not successful. That's not Westbrook's fault. But there have also been times when LeBron took a ton of criticism when his team had an unsuccessful season. I agree with him when he says there's a lot of pressure on others to perform, but I disagree with the other parts, it's not his (James's) fault Westbrook couldn't find a home, and I don't agree with him when he says he's never been the scapegoat when LeBron's team loses.
