The Los Angeles Lakers have been disappointing this season, and they are far from the championship team that many thought they would be. As of now, they are 16-18 and the 9th seed in the Western Conference.

A lot of fans and analysts have blamed point guard Russell Westbrook for the team's problems. While he is a good player, many have pointed to his turnovers and poor defense as problems for the team. Russell Westbrook however, thinks that he's been playing fine and stated that people expect him to get "25, 15, and 15" which is simply not normal.

Shannon Sharpe has recently responded to that comments from Russell Westbrook. When speaking to Skip Bayless on Undisputed, Sharpe agreed that "25, 15, and 15" isn't normal. However, he also took a jab at Westbrook and stated that it's "normal" for Russell Westbrook to turn the ball over a lot and play out of control.

Skip they're the 9th seed in the West... Russ says I'm fine... As you said, 25, 15 and 15 is not normal. What is normal is you turning the ball over at a high rate. You playing out of control more times than not. You taking terrible shots more times than not... Skip, he just doesn't get it... Nobody is asking you to put up those historic numbers.

There is no doubt that the Lakers haven't performed well since the Russell Westbrook trade. Some of the concerns about shot selection and turnovers are also valid. However, there are other factors involved in the Lakers' poor record as well, such as injuries to key players like LeBron James.

We'll see if Russell Westbrook can address the concerns that many have about his play. He's certainly had his fair share of good games as well. Hopefully, we see him improve, and the Los Angeles Lakers will certainly be better if he does.

A 13-year-old boy died onSunday after losing control of his dirt bike during a traffic stop.

The teen was identified by family members asStanley Davis Jr., according to NBC affiliateWPTV.

The Boynton Beach Police said in a statement that Davis was allegedly "driving recklessly" when officers attempted a traffic stop.

Its With A Heavy Heart That We Are Tragically & Painfully Forced To Say Goodbye To One Of Our Own 13yr Old Stanley Davis Jr A Child With A Illuminating Smile & A Beautiful Happy Spirit That Shined Everywhere He Went SJ You Were A Becan Of Joy SJ Will Be Truly Be Missed By All RIPpic.twitter.com/LOPDV2SbZh

In a surveillance video obtained by WPTV, Davis is seen fueling up his dirt bike at a gas station shortly before the crash. As he pulled out, a police SUV can be seen following him.

The teen, who was reportedly wearing a helmet, collided with a sign in the median. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Boynton Beach Police Chief Michael Gregory said law enforcement will conduct "aseries of thorough and meticulous investigations into the circumstances of what occurred." Officers involved will be placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

That was my grandson, my only grandson, said Davis's grandmother Tina Hunter, according to WPTV. They chased him, chased him. He just panicked because hes a kid. Chased him right to his damn grave and figured hes just another Black boy and aint nothing is going to be done. Thats the prejudice of the Boynton Beach Police that weve been having problems for all these damn years.

"There's nothing to make that pain less," Gregory said during a Sunday press conference."What we hope to do is do the best we can conducting a thorough investigation to get to the bottom of the facts and circumstances that led to it."

Accomplished coaching agent Trace Armstrong has discussed the possibility of taking a top management position with the Chicago Bears, according to league sources, as ownership mulls sweeping coaching and front office changes.

Armstrong, a former Bears player who is held in very high regard by the McCaskey family and longtime team president Ted Phillips, is very interested in the potential of helping steward his former franchise into better days, and ownership is at least willing to consider the notion of restructuring the hierarchy of the franchise, sources said, as it embarks on getting a new stadium constructed in Arlington. Sources said in this scenario, if the sides agreed to it, Armstrong would oversee football operations with the coach and GM reporting to him; Bears coach Matt Nagy is currently one of Armstrong's clients, but at this point staving off a coaching change in Chicago is remote at best, with a heavy expectation around the league that Nagy is let go.

Armstrong, who played defensive end for the Bears from 1989-94 and has remained close to the franchise as a prominent alumnus, is a huge proponent of Ohio State coach Ryan Day, league sources said, and Day has been open to considering NFL possibilities in recent years. Armstrong also has strong connections throughout the scouting world and represents numerous current NFL executives. Raiders director or pro personnel Dwayne Joseph, a former teammate of his in Chicago, would also be a top candidate to join a restructured front office with the Bears should ownership opt to go in this direction, sources said.

Armstrong spoke to team officials last month, sources said, as many former players returned to Chicago to honor former longtime strength coach Clyde Emrich, a former Olympic wrestler who spent 50 years in the organization, after his passing. While leaving a successful agent practice would not be easy, numerous league sources said Armstrong's pull to the Bears is unique and he is serious about the opportunity. Armstrong already has strong support among the media in Chicago -- agents have crossed over into management roles in other sports; it's not uncommon -- and there has been an outcry among many in the fanbase about restructuring the organization with Phillips not atop the football operations pyramid.

Day, 42, has had a wildly successful run since taking over Ohio State after Urban Meyer departed, and he has been on the NFL's radar. Armstrong deeply believes that Day, who spent time with the Eagles and 49ers as a quarterbacks coach from 2015-2016, could be a winning NFL coach. Last year the Bears moved up in the first round to select quarterback Justin Fields, who played for Day at Ohio State and whose development is absolutely paramount for a franchise that has not had an elite player at the position for generations.

Armstrong has several other clients who could be candidates to join a regime there in numerous capacities, and he recently helped navigate Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley to USC.
