I think Russ's teammates could overlook all that if he was playing as good as a Allen, Burrow, or a Herbert. Hell, even just somebody competent like a Cousins.

There's a difference between explaining to somebody who asks how you achieved your end goal versus being an insufferable attention whore about it.
It took a reporter to tell the story about Kobe Bryant getting competitive with other teammates in terms of how early he could get to the court and practice his shooting. Kobe wasn't the guy pumping himself up to the media about it. And if social media existed when MJ was playing I guarangoddamntee you he wouldn't have been on Twitter getting a video with him and Phil Jackson breaking down opponent film in their off hours.
Wilson records his work ethic and uses it to pump himself up and feel important around people. It's very self-serving the way he touts his work ethic. And that is the wrong mindset to have about goal-setting, because distracts you from actually achieving the end product.
