Russell Westbrook's wife Nina brutally shames ESPN's Ramona Shelburne for spreading 'ridiculous lies'

Russell Westbrook and the Denver Nuggets are in the middle of a closely contested playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Amid the Nuggets' current quest to reach the Western Conference finals, ESPN's Ramona Shelburne dropped a truth bomb about the Nuggets locker room.

In a piece written on Tuesday, Shelburne wrote an article titled "Why the Nuggets' title hopes might hinge on the most volatile player in the NBA," which highlighted Westbrook's "volatile," "moody" and "out of control" character.

Nina Westbrook, Russell Westbrook's wife, has a history of standing up for her husband when the water goes over her head. Nina didn't let it pass and brutally blasted the ESPN reporter and said that Shelburne should be ashamed of herself.

""VOLATILE"?" You should be ashamed for so many reasons. I'll let you decipher them," she wrote.

She also alleged that the NBA insider is spreading lies about the former MVP and the Nuggets, just for clickbait. Additionally, Nina blasted Shelburne for reporting in the middle of a playoff series that one of the Nuggets players had called Russell "so immature."

"Dirty work Ramona. How could you share and spread so many lies randomly, for no reason, and with so much conviction. You're using his name for clickbait during the playoff's which is ridiculous. Trust me, I know the facts about literally everything. Normally I let you guys tell your silly lies in peace. Enough already. Stop with the lies. #gonuggets"

In her ESPN article, published on Tuesday, alluding to the downside of having Russell, Shelburne wrote that the Nuggets star was allegedly stubborn and out of control.

"So the Nuggets went for it, knowing the man is a human pros and cons list," Shelburne wrote.

"On the pro side: Westbrook is fiery, focused, always competitive, always available."

"On the con: He can be moody, out of control on the court, stubborn, immature when he doesn't get his way."
