ESPN’s annual NBA player rankings are always a source of debate, but this year’s list has been particularly controversial. One of the most controversial rankings is that of Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant, who was ranked 35th. Another controversial topic was the ranking of former MVP, Russell Westbrook.
At 94 on ESPN’s list, Westbrook barely made the top-100 players this season. This however, wasn’t taken all too kindly by former NBA big man, Kenyon Martin Sr.
While making an appearance on Gil’s Arena, Martin absolutely destroyed ESPN and its panel for ranking Russell Westbrook that low, and below rookies like Victor Wembanyama, Scoot Henderson and Chet Holmegrem, who haven’t played a single NBA game, yet.
“Show me f***ing 93 other people better than Russell Westbrook in the NBA,” Martin said. “You got two people on the list that ain’t played one f***ing NBA minute. How the f**k are they better than Russ? You f***ing idiots over there doing this bulls**t.”
