5:35 Nash made the conference finals in 2010 guy must have a short memory

[@thebxsavage]

Wanna know how many players averaged over 10 rebounds per game this year? 12. Russell being one of them puts him in the top 4% rebounders in the NBA Wanna know how many players averaged over 10 assists this year? 1 Russell Westbrook. He is the most prolific setup man in the NBA. Top .1% Wanna know how many players averaged over 20 points per game this year? 32 Russ being one of them puts him in the top 9% of scorers in the NBA. It is hard enough to be top 10% in the NBA in ONE CATEGORY. Think about that... The hate this man gets is just mind boggling

[@dylanstevens7479]

This is outstanding

[@Kevinschart]

we all know he has stats. that's undeniable. that's fine in the regular season. but that kind of me first, let me get my numbers basketball doesn't work in the playoffs. especially when you're inefficient like Russ. Here's the problem, when russ has the ball in his hands and he's not running an offense, the other players cool off. they aren't in rythym because they feel like they aren't part of the action until Russ decides they are. That's why you can't win with a guy dominating the ball like that. the big guys get hype when they get rebounds. but here comes the point guard hanging around the paint, not playing Defense on his guy, so he can get rebounds. it's bigger than just saying "russ plays hard". The impact it has on the team is not the best.

Why are ppl flipping past the fact that you cannot win with Westbrook? Westbrook is an unbelievably fantastic player, filled with energy, work ethic, determination, and so on but he's also a fairly erratic liability. Just last night that loss happened as he basically dragged Washington into a position to win and then left them flat with him taking a 3 he more often than not misses. This is Russell Westbrook's career in a nutshell and why KD left. Imagine dealing with this frustration each and every season as an elite player? Russ is your point guard, he will have the ball in his hands most often than even normal point guards because he also grabs the rebounds. He has learned to pass and increased efficiency but we're heavily overstating Westbrook's greatness by glossing over his liability.

When Westbrook gets a triple double his winning percentage is higher than 75%. That means his teams all have needed this production from him. He’s a great winner and to those who actually watch the game they’d realize he wins ALOT more than he should given the disadvantages of the teams he’s been on. Never a great coach. Never a leverage over opponents. Heat big 3 vs inexperienced OKC big 3. Kd & Russ vs 73-9 Warriors (tbh kd choked game 6 when they should have won he turned over the ball 3x in the clutch with a 7-9pt lead...) Paul George became George Paul. Oladipo wasn’t ready(depresmaguc traded him and learned from Russ to step on necks instead of feeling sorry for himself). Small ball rockets vs Lebron & AD... and he’s been so hard headed that he’s played through so much injuries which ruined production in some playoff series.

@@Kevinschart bruh your a hater man seen you in so many comments 🤣 hella sad. When's the last time he shot even close to 40. Last two seasons he has differed to James harden and beal cuz he knows there the offensive kings. He's been a pure point guard past 2 seasons u can't deny that. With this new style of play starting last year he definitely can win. He just ran into an oversized Lakers team with LeBron and AD, and this year he only has beal. Steph has definitely had more help and injury luck of opponents hence him not winning a finals mvp.

Russ is phenomenal player but he is terrible in the half court offense of a close 4th quarter playoff games.
