Apparently that is the one reporter who wrote the "KD is Mr. Unreliable" story and also trashes westbrook for holding KD back, judging from the comments I have no idea. Berry Tramel his name supposedly.

I googled his name only thing I could found was when asked the Question is Westbrook the most important player for the jazz he answered this

"False. Kevin Durant is the Thunder's most important player. But it's not a stupid question, which tells you all you need to know about Westbrook. Comparing his value to the reigning NBA MVP is perfectly legitimate. The Thunder can't excel without him. We saw in the 2013 playoffs what the Thunder offense is like without him. It ain't pretty."
 
I hope Westbrook never plays for the Jazz. Complete jackass, and asshat.

If every one of his interviews were like that then I think that would bother me.
Seemed like he was unhappy about something in this particular interview and that's why he was giving the same generic answers.
 
I'm kinda mixed on this..

On one hand he's acting like a baby, and his attitude sucks in general. But reporters are annoying as hell too. Sports reporting is so dumb. The player can't really speak his mind or the reporter will just make a story out of it and try to embarrass you. So you are forced to give generic and cliche answers everytime. It's a stupid vicious cycle. What's the point of asking them all those stupid and irritating questions if all you are getting is cliche answers, which you as the reporter are just forcing them to say. It's like it's a waiting game of seeing how long the player can stand you trying to trigger a response you can write about.

I've never cared for player interviews. We all know the responses aren't genuine 99% of the time. And 99% of the time the questions and answers are boring as hell.

I don't really blame a player for giving short answers and not taking the process seriously. The media is a joke.
 
Watching the NFC championship game and the announcers were talking about how marshawn lynch mostly refuses to talk to the media and that when he does talk to them he gives the same answer over and over again.
