You don’t get the nickname “The LeBron Whisperer” by taking days or nights off. Just ask Brian Windhorst, whose fascination with a high school baller from Akron, Ohio led to him being one of ESPN’s most prized NBA reporters. Naturally, his phone is always buzzing, there’s always a “source” getting him information and, of course, LeBron James goes to work a couple nights a week, which means Brian Windhorst is working those nights too.
So it should come as a surprise to no one that, as Windhorst and ESPN SportsCenter anchor Cari Champion discuss Russell Westbrook‘s blistering triple-double pace, and how it compares to the season Oscar Robertson averaged a triple-double for the entire season, Windhorst flat out dozes off.

Windhorst should get some rest. The Cavs play a nationally televised game tonight, and between the Kyrie Irving/Kehlani drama, LeBron’s Twitter fingers, and the 3-game gap between the Cavs and the Raptors for the Eastern Conference’s top spot, the story lines are endless.
