LeBron James Defends Russell Westbrook Against Celtics Broadcasters' Criticism

LeBron James publicly criticized Celtics broadcasters for labeling Russell Westbrook as a scapegoat during his time with the Lakers.

During a preseason game in Abu Dhabi, Celtics broadcasters made disparaging comments about Russell Westbrook's tenure with the Lakers.
LeBron James responded on social media, defending Westbrook and calling him a 'legend.'
Westbrook, now with the Denver Nuggets, had an impressive debut against the Celtics, scoring 12 points with 8 assists in 19 minutes.
Westbrook expressed that his unique skill set was not effectively utilized during his time with the Lakers.
James also refuted an ESPN report suggesting his decision to join the Lakers was influenced by the team's treatment of Kobe Bryant.
