Jerami Grant on Westbrook: He's a great teammate and a great person. He definitely passes the ball

Jerami Grant praised his teammate Russell Westbrook and shut down criticism on the former MVP player in an interview with Hoopshype.

Per Hoopshype: There’s this narrative that Russell Westbrook is a bad teammate and that people don’t want to play alongside him. You hear it from some media members and from opposing fans. Some people say it’s because he doesn’t pass enough, some people bring up his personality. As someone who’s played with Russ for two years and gotten to know him well, what do you think of that narrative?
JG: That’s just ignorant. I think people just listen to the media and believe it, but Russ is a great teammate and a great person. Players obviously want to play with him. PG just re-signed to come back. I just re-signed to come back. I know of a lot of players who want to be in OKC. I think that’s a huge misconception in the media and I don’t know why it’s said. He’s a great player and everyone wants to play with great players because we all want to win. He definitely passes the ball. I’m not really sure what else to say about that. It’s just ignorance.
