Colin's message to Westbrook after 58-point game: 'Stop shooting 3's' | THE HERD

[@TheHerdOnFS1]

What advice would you give to Westbrook?

[@user-de2tx4kv8w]

Colin Cowherd don't listen to colin cowherd

[@jayblackston]

Colin Cowherd you make great points though. Just sticking to the facts. I'm a fan of Westbrook... I truly believe he wants to win SO bad, but he has to learn how to make other people around him better. That's been his Achilles heel his while career.

[@TomDebiase123]

Colin Cowherd take a pay cut, become less self centred and tap up Gordon Hayward for the offseason

[@InstrumentalArtistry]

I agree with you 100 percent. I've been telling people that KD left because Westbrook is a me first, ego-centric, ball hog. I would tell Westbrook to trust the players around him and don't carry the whole burden of being the only superstar on your team.

[@sebestyenczapp865]

I would not give him any advice because he probably knows what he is doing better than me, you, or any of us

[@articxpose1164]

When he said the only other game where someone took 30 more shots than all his teammates, was Kobe in his last game, all of Russell's MVP chances dissapeared

[@Gregducs]

truely a sobering illustration of how unhinged and unpractical his game has become, as dynamic a talent as he is

[@mpthegreat8046]

articXposE kobe took 50 shots Westbrook took 39 that isn't much to be scoring 58 that's actually pretty efficient the issue was his teammates couldn't score a single basket when he wasn't in the game he can't play 48 minutes

[@amos2218]

Don't forget 16 free throws too

[@MrAlmiranda]

he's a point guard

[@floydsteel1703]

I was always confused at how many ppl championed him for MVP cuz to me there's no way he has a chance over Kawhi, Harden, or Lebron

[@LilTeezyT]

Kanye westbrook never gets old😂😂

[@ssj-rose4572]

ProfessorFinesser yes it does it's not even clever

[@tunjitube17]

how is it factual???

[@floydsteel1703]

😭😭😭😭😭

[@prevailinglogic8987]

this was simply poetic how colin broke down westbrook's 58 point game...i watched that game & when he got back in the game in the 4th he shot 6 times on 6 possessions its like everybody on the team scared to tell this guy stop shooting so much even the coach & the only time he did pass was to get the assists he needed to keep the triple double streak alive i now see why KD left this clown

[@otis__bz9348]

Hamo Hamic it wasn't really sad people r saying that if he was still in okc he wouldn't have grown and wouldn't have been as great as he is this year

[@BluJae93]

Hamo Hamic he wasn't going to resign so they traded him

[@CutelabasMissingBrain]

no he left because they didn't give him a max contract and the rockets gave him 2 mil more

[@basquiat64th]

OtiS__bZ harden even cried when he heard the news...he said it himself...you can look up to any interview he did about it...stop that talking without facts, you look like colin, dumb.

[@Ellendirr]

exactly Lou... he said they gave him 1-2 hours to decide this big deal and while he was thinking they called back and said ,... ok we Love you but ... we traded you to Rockets and he was crying the whole day ... not easy to leave a team you loved...

[@chrisnasuto9876]

I gotta give it to you, you changed my perspective on the MVP race

[@sbz88]

Scott Brooks was fired. James Harden was traded.

[@Head_Turnah]

Shane Barraza Yeah, the formers career depends on great players.

[@viewsofphoenix6548]

Shane Barraza and they still are better off without Westbrook.

[@pathew3637]

Shane Barraza Reggie and ibaka were traded and left last year

[@ahmadwilliams0521]

Shane Barraza James Harden left because OKC didn't want to have to pay the luxury tax for his contract

[@Dario.991]

Dude why u comment about something u obviously don't know much. Harden wanted to leave OKC, no one forced him out of the club.

[@Overunder80]

Westbrook is like Matthew Stafford. A stat stuffer. Lots of gaudy stats. But it's easy to throw 5000 yards when you throw 50 times a game, or score 50 when u jack up 40 shots a game

[@kevion2brown]

humanparadox Brees is the only person that throws 40 times a game and I don't think Stafford had a 5000 passing yard season since 2011.

[@xvdarkshadowvx]

humanparadox they stat stuff cuz they have no help especially stafford their run game is trash so what else can you do you have to pass the ball

[@mpthegreat8046]

humanparadox well Westbrook did shoot 53 percent last night it isn't easy to score 58 points while shooting efficiently

[@leviomeke6397]

Mpthegreat He did have a good game but he still lost to the Portland Trailblazers 126 to 121.

[@vertexx6166]

U can't

[@axlegallardo]

Collin's the king of analogies

[@awedee.0]

kanye west-brook 😭

[@SBFat]

Colin I have to agree with your opinion on Westbrook, he has the most hollow stats I've ever seen!

[@Serbinator_Dominator]

And they think westbrick is better than Lillard?!? Pathetic just last week Portland yet again beat thunder, Lillard had 24 pts , and was efficient and won the game and Russ had 28 pts but shot the ball 36 times!!! 20x more westbrick is freak but his stats are padded and he doesn't make his team better

[@arsonhakobyan]

He plays in Bricktown. You can't be mad at a kid for wanting to live up to the town he plays for.

[@Puma24ism]

Westbrook seems like he is trying to make everything about him and not his team which is costing them games, players, and possibly a playoff spot.

[@DwayneChess]

I'm curious to know what would be your coaching game plan to get the most out of this team

[@bettyhull3494]

Dwayne Chess hmm...what was this vid about? Ah yes the fact that Westbrook is bringing his team down when he goes for all them threes and that he should stop being all about him and not shoot that many bc he ain't a great 3 pt shooter

[@chriswhit18cw]

I'm am a diehard Thunder fan and will always support Westbrooks case for MVP. But my game plan would involve westbrook passing the ball more in those close game situations. He only had 5 assists last night. When he has less than 10 assists, they normally lose. There was a play last night, I dont remember the exact time but I know it was the 4th, when westbrook tossed the rock to Oladipo for a three and he drained it, that's what needs to be happening more, Russ needs to trust his teammates. THe only bad thing, its hard to trust your teammates when your the 30th or 31st best, or worst, 3pt shooting team in the league

[@curtismynameheard4628]

Puma24ism just look at the other players stats maybe he can't trust his guys go back to the okc vs golden state his teammates couldn't make a shot not even one

[@chriswhit18cw]

Exactly, he doesn't have many guys to count on, Morrow was a good 3pt reliablity when it came down to it but he wasn't no Kyrie, Oladipo is good but again, when it comes down to it, not too reliable. And the bench is terrible. Westbrook and the other starters will have them up by almost 20 and when the bench comes out, they have them losing by 20.

[@EastStandGG]

brooks - fired reggie - traded and none of us fans cared harden - traded, and cried because of it, wanted to be 6th man forever ibaka - traded after saying how happy he is to be staying kd - the only one that actually left stop the false narrative that everyone was dying to escape playing with him...

[@SMFCAWFAN]

Although that is false I think his main point was trying to imply that they're all doing better now since he's not their teammates anymore

[@111illmatic]

GG Uploads it's not that they don't like him personally it's that they play basketball better without him

[@julianbashir8277]

Remember the beef between Westbrook and Jackson?

[@julianbashir8277]

Boss in OKC. Westbrook couldn't handle another talented pg.

[@fredrickbutts2392]

Julian Styles he not Westbrook. No where close to his level stop. And He liked James so that is false.

[@ricardodominguez2883]

As I've seen several people in these comments mention already, I'll reiterate: Harden never said get me out of here. He was traded to Houston in one of the biggest heists in NBA history (right after the Boogie Cousins trade). Kevin Durant made a weak move. Colin says KD is better off, but seriously, >99% of players who would leave their current teams to play for Golden State would be better off. Golden State was great without KD so it'd make sense he'd "flourish" once he got there. His new team is stacked. Only legitimate argument that could be made would be for Ibaka because he's found his niche. Scott Brooks had the 2nd seed in the WEST several times whereas he's 3rd in the weak East.

[@outoftime417]

"What he did there was degenerate gambler math." Lmao Colin can be accidently funny at times

[@bigpoppapump4683]

Colin, I saw this stat on Dead spin. Credit to them but I think you should see this. If Russell Westbrook were to play in all his remaining 18 games of the season while somehow never scoring another point, never grabbing another rebound, and never dishing another assist, his 2016-17 stat line would work out to 25.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 7.8 assists. Westbrook is awesome sir.

[@shakfad]

On 42 percent shooting with 5 turnovers a game

[@basquiat64th]

WHEN DID EXACTLY HARDEN ASKED OUT OF OKC??COLIN, ONCE AGAIN, YOU TRIPPIN.

[@jakoblozano8031]

Who wouldn't want to play with a top 3 player ??? I'm sure people would love to play with Kobe and Ai

[@kid100music3]

Westbrook to Kanye is an off comparison. Kanye is one of the most acclaimed and highest selling artists of all time. Westbrook has nothing but all stars to his name. No Rings or MVPs. Kanye West has 21 Grammys and he makes everyone he works with better...

[@pie4life2012]

Cant get rings, when talent gets stacked to 3-4 teams. 10 Teams best players combined into 4 teams Minnesotas best to Cavs, LOVE Miamis best to Cleveland, LEBRON Cavs best stayed, KYRIE, THOMPSON Atlantas best to Boston, HORFORD Boston best stayed. THOMAS Lakers 2nd best to Spurs, GASOL Portlands best to Spurs, ALDRIDGE Spurs best stayed. LEONARD, GINOBILI, PARKER OKCs best to GSW, DURANT GSWs best stayed, CURRY THOMPSON, GREEN

[@ChunkySeaCow]

Milton Lane I agree with you but I think Colin goes more for an egotistical comparison rather than a achievement or success comparison.

[@ghostface3652]

This show is 95% riding Lebron and going in on Westbrook

[@DieNastyKing]

If you count Reggie Jackson and Ibaka as flourishing...😂😂

[@tonyshlean]

It's disrespectful to compare Kanye to Westbrook lol

[@timothytillman8316]

King Joe He's just comparing their egos

[@tunjitube17]

Kanye's Ego has bred success for everyone in his circle. i.e. Jus Don and Off White

[@Half_Full-Since96]

disrespectful to kayne

[@Overunder80]

He is a great player but it's always a bad sign when one guy, a point guard no less, is shooting 35 games times a game

[@isaacbarrow9155]

Colin with the subtle shade at ESPN as usual, clever lol

[@sleuth2077]

He never said they all wanted to leave. He just said they flourish once they leave.

[@theytrackingeverything7328]

1. Westbrook is a superstar who brings it every game, every play. 2. Has played every game this year. 3. Is leading the league in scoring. 4. Is averaging a triple double for the season. People are really underestimating this. If it was that easy, more players would be doing it. 5. He's the only allstar on that team. No one else there is sniffing allstar status. And he still has them in the playoff chase. Give Westbrook his props already.

[@Dr_Diaz]

Colin on point when it comes to westbrook

[@ChrisPaulbasketball3]

Colin straight speaking the truth. Love his content

[@LilWayneIsMyIdol]

That's a nice 2 minute lead into yet another example of why Colin thinks Westbrook isn't the MVP, and why KD left. Come on man, you're beating a dead horse.

[@sambrocato3099]

He's discussing this because everyone wants to praise Westbrook for scoring 58 without really looking into the true stats

[@CpttCanada]

+LilWayneIsMyIdol I enjoy it when Colin has a good idea but I feel like 85% of this channel is repeating what hes already said over and over.

[@g1ll1ona1r3]

Certainly some jumps in logic...Harden was traded when he demanded a higher salary...Jackson wanted to be a primary ball-handler...Durant was ring-chasing to the best team in the league at the time...Ibaka was traded for a superbly productive rookie and Westbrook's backcourt running-mate...Scott Brooks is not a good coach but lucked into healthy John Wall, Bradley Beal, and Otto Porter riding a hot streak from last year.

[@donp5069]

I wonder what people think now...

[@testostyrone33]

I'm with Cowherd on this one... for sure.

[@dieselinhd3908]

lol when colin says harden said get me out of here

[@coldcountry4143]

Colin you are 100℅ correct

[@ThaMediator]

I finally agree with Colin

[@logosproclamation453]

Colin on point! But for us who played ball saw that from the beginning. At least us from Europe who were taught team ball:-)

[@uItimatewarrior]

Colin is the only critic I respect

[@kennypecorarojr5482]

That Kobes Last Game Fact Tho... Wow

[@jakoblozano8031]

He hates on West so much... But he's right on this one... Your the most athletic PG of all time and you want to shoot ? That's like if Steph wanted to dunk all the time

[@MatthewMoscotto]

Great point by Colin. Real talk.

[@Michael-je7rq]

Harden didn't want to leave so he didn't say "get me out of here" he cried when he was traded

[@lewis3947]

yall cant just dismiss colins facts here, what hes saying makes complete sense

[@tap1274]

I absolutely agree that America has become romantic about Westbrook and he is definitely not a league MVP, but degenerate gambler math? Let's not forget that he is an elite level professional athlete playing at the highest level in arguably the most competitive sport. If a degenerate gambler can expect this level of success, I'm on my way to Vegas myself.

[@doedybryant2595]

What y'all don't understand is that u can be a ballhog and get 10-15 assists.. every play Westbrook has to be on the ball creating the opportunities he doesn't have good sense of when to give the ball to certain people the way Chris Paul does for example

[@sebestyenczapp865]

Harden didn't wanted to leave okc, he said that he was crying when he heard about the trade.

[@youdontevenknowdude]

This segment was actually thought out. interesting point of view. let's continue this and not random click bait.

[@nheard4026]

colin with straight facts right here and I love watching westbrook

[@naujud216]

Only issue I have with what Colin said is that Westbrook is pretty much playing with the Brooklyn Nets, a quality D-League team. I understand not shooting 3s but the only other "Shooter" they have is McDermott. Someone has to take those shots.

[@sportsfan8980]

Collin is so disrespectful and just nitpicks Westbrook he is a great player with no help leave the man alone

[@tirosc]

Hate to say it, but Colin is right today. Been a OKC fan for quite awhile but this game today is probably one of the most mind boggling games. The team barely got touches, RW just keeps bringing it up and shooting blanks. It's pretty frustrating to see that the team is literally standing there with Adams screening and RW shooting. The other 3 just stands there blankly. RW, stop this nonsense. I miss the old days in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 where close games were so intense that had me on the edge of my seat rooting for anyone on the team to get a play off. This whole season, didn't have that feeling at all.

[@fredrickbutts2392]

Bocky who is going to shoot and make it? You guys are worst 3 point shooting team in the best era of 3 point shooting. Come on now lol I guess you going to blame all that on Russ though right

[@tirosc]

www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/three-point-pct Right...I take 29 over 30. To answer your point, McBuckets is a pretty good 3 shooter, Abrines is pretty solid, D.Sabo is pretty good, Dipo is pretty good too. Not even sure you get the point I was making but hey, not expecting a touch and go viewer to understand.

[@MichaelPadillaBaws]

I like this work analogy better than the divorce one.

[@iss6044]

[@soolthegreat1581]

This dude doesn't waste no time trashing Westbrook

[@tyt1528]

Interesting Russ blames team defense for the loss... considering that u are the most physically gifted point guard in the league maybe you could save some energy by jacking up less shots and let ur teammates shoot so you can play some d

[@nikocross7673]

Well he didn't mention any names.

[@Awfsome]

My god Colin, you roasted Westbrook. Straight facts though.

[@awedee.0]

when they had Green they were a beast!

[@harrygarris6921]

Harden, Ibaka, and Jackson were all traded they didn't "leave", Jackson's the only one who had issues with the Thunder and he burned bridges with the entire locker room and coaching staff not just Westbrook. Durant's the only one who actually left. I still don't think Durant had a problem with Westbrook as much as he just really wanted to have 3 all star teammates and win an easy championship.

[@AftermathRain]

He is right. Every player that played with that ballhog/stat padder, is now a much better player...

[@poloregal]

🙌🏾🙏🏾. Well said Collin. Well said. Man o man.

[@elisandroaragon1414]

Pure genius right there Colin

[@undefeatedpacifist8389]

Durant went to a team that won over 70 games last year without him. If we are being honest, the Warriors had a better record at this point last year without him than they do this year with him.

[@hiphopotamus69]

Colin is drinkin the haterade

[@dane55525]

5:30 you can only barely say the last decade .. the very year before that when kobe had 81 he shot 35 more times than his next teammate.

[@andrewjohnson8919]

Westbrook is to Colin what Lebron is to Skip

[@AdamIbnSulaymanAlHanbali]

Andrew Johnson no Collin ia actually right thats the difference

[@EthanJ1005]

Colin has an argument, Skip is just hurt that Lebron might creep up on his favorite player (MJ's) legacy, it's well known that Skip is an irrelevant analyst that's only on TV for shock factor and Cowboy fans

[@MarshallJames10]

I love watching these videos and most of the time I agree with you, but after watching 3:55 I have some thoughts. Durant was always going to have success or "flourish" at golden state considering their roster. Harden wanted to stay in OKC but the front office didn't want to pay him. Lastly, Ibaka and Reggie were traded.

[@sheabilladeau1392]

Love the show Colin. You are my favorite to listen to. Could you make these clips so we can see the final play you talked about with Westbrook? We saw the interview, but I wanted to see the play you were referring to. I didnt have a chance to see the game and wanted to know the play and see it. I would tell Westbrook to trust his teammates more. Harden didnt trust his team last year, he does this year, and look at the stats. Harden also is running PG which is a better fit, but his team is thriving while OKC is barely keeping head above water.

[@MotivatedbyJef]

harden cried when he left Colin #justsayin 3:41

[@jblove53]

Harden did not say get me outta here lol.. he gt traded for taking to long to accept the contract offer

[@Wangste002]

Harden didn't want to leave OKC. OKC traded him and he teared up afterward. He still wonders what could have been. What are you saying Colin?

[@ozarka1110]

durant is thriving because of the SYSTEM. Look at warriors with mark jackson...2nd round playoff team. Look at them with steve kerr before durant..same team different system, championship contender. Put westbrook in a system like golden state and with better role players and watch him thrive. If the coach is only drawing up simple screen and roles and you have a bunch of teammates clogging the paint, what other option does westbrook have than to score 40-50 everynight?

Obviously harden and Jackson are gonna perform better on other teams because they grew as players. They were young in OKC and didn't want to leave but got traded.
