龜龜：如果以後再有人叫我Westbrick，我會出來制止

“I think, for one, 100% stand behind my wife and how she’s feeling because it
’s not about just this year. Right now, she’s reached a point and my family ha
s reached a point where it’s really weighing on them and its very unfortunate j
ust for me personally because this is just a game. This not end all be all. When
 it comes to basketball, I don’t mind the criticism of missing and making shot.
 But the moment it becomes where my name is getting shamed, it becomes an issue.
 I’ve kind of let it go in the past because it never really bothered me."



"It really hit me the other day. Me and wife were at the teacher-parent conferen
ce for my son. And the teacher told me, Noah is so proud of his last name, he wr
ites it everywhere, he tells everyone ‘I’m Westbrook’… I kind of sat there i
n shock and it hit me. I can’t no longer allow people, for example, Westbrick t
o me is now shaming, shaming my name and my legacy for my kid. It’s a name that
 means more to me, my wife, my mom, my dad, the ones that paved the way for me."



"That’s just one example myself and my wife where its not great and I think a l
ot of times, I let it slide, but now its time to put a stop to that, and put it
on notice, there’s a difference. Every time I hear it now, I will make sure I a
ddress it and nip that in the bud… It’s very unfortunate, it’s been like this
 for my entire career. I’ve been blessed and super thankful for the ones around
 me and the ones that support me but it’s really the shaming of my name, the sh
aming of my character, the shaming of who am I as a person, is to me, not warran
te. I haven’t done anything to anyone, I haven’t hurt anyone. I’ve done noth
ing but play basketball a way that people may not like. And this is just a game.
 This not my entire life. I think that is the ultimate thing that’s been for me
…"
