Russell Westbrook unloaded on members of the media following the Sacramento Kings’ loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday night, marking the team's 50th defeat of a season that has left them with the NBA’s worst record.

Westbrook had 19 points and 10 assists for the Kings in the 133-123 loss that handed Sacramento its ninth straight loss at home. Heading into his postgame press conference, it was clear that the NBA veteran was expecting to field questions about the team's abysmal 14-50 record.

But it was Westbrook who asked the majority of questions, turning the presser around on the media whom he accused of stirring "up a bunch of stuff that’s not accurate."

"Got a lot of answers and y’all always be talking," Westbrook said after being asked how the team would handle the final 19 games of the season. "You guys have a lot of opinions about how we do what we doing."

 Westbrook went on to call on random members of the media, picking one by asking, "You make a lot of statements, and broad statements that you have no context – so, where do you get your context from? Are you in practice? Are you at our film session? Are you anywhere around the building?" 

The reporter responded to Westbrook’s line of questioning, but when he said that he did know Westbrook, the NBA player’s tirade continued.
