Ernie Johnson has fun with Russell Westbrook (Video)
The Turner Sports Analyst had fun with the Oklahoma City point guard’s recent comments
Russell Westbrook recently had a Marshawn Lynch-esque interview where he said a singular phrase to answer his questions. Westbrook would keep responding the same way remarking how the team “did a good job executing” and wouldn’t answer any questions any other way. He also pointed out that he didn’t like one of the reporters that was asking him questions.

Westbrook’s Lynch-like response made it apparent that Oklahoma City had stolen something else from Seattle.
Take it easy, Sonics fans.
In an interview with Ernie Johnson, after the Thunder’s win over the Miami Heat, Johnson decided to have a little fun with the Thunder point guard.
At the 3:06 mark, Johnson asked Westbrook how the Thunder’s execution against the Heat was and more importantly if he liked the NBA TV crew.
Westbrook was a good sport and laughed the thing off. Johnson who works with the larger than life character of Shaq, Kenny Smith, and Charles Barkley on Inside the NBA every Thursday on TNT, is no stranger when it comes to humor and wasn’t afraid to have fun with the Oklahoma City point guard.
As for the one answer interviews, hopefully the trend doesn’t continue to grow among athletes.
