Russell Westbrook is an explosive, box score player, but not in my Top 20 - Skip | NBA | UNDISPUTED

Russell Westbrook notched his 179th triple-double of his career last night against the Milwaukee Bucks. He is now just two triple-doubles away from Oscar Robertson's all-time record. Despite Westbrook never winning a championship, Robertson believes that shouldn't be held against the Washington Wizards' point guard. The Hall of Famer said quote 'I think it's ridiculous that some sportswriters criticize him because he has not won a championship. Players don't win championships by themselves. You've got to have good management. You need to get with the right group of players.' Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe discuss whether Westbrook gets too much criticism for not winning a title.

Championships are based on how great your team is not an individual... but way more often than not you would need that one special special player or two who could lead the team to it...that's the point the legendary Oscar Robertson is missing which is something he should totally understand for a player himself or he obviously knows that but just decides to ignore that and just focus on the other things. Oscar's point would be valid for sure if Westbrook never played on good teams or very good teams but that is just not the case for sure. But lately with the wizards he has been absolutely phenomenal and his team have been winning at a better rate for sure they actually still have a chance to make the playoffs but to me I don't think they are going to make it for sure because it's just too much ground to make up for for sure and the teams ahead of them have to loose consistently which is more likely not going to happen.

High pts and assists are usually a product of high time of possession. Players who have high time of possession running Isos and Pick and Rolls all game are bound to get high pts and assists. Some players will get more points and less assists (Luka, Dame), while others will get less points and more assists (Russ), and everything in between (Trae, Harden) but they will all get a lot of both. Obviously, Russ has had the highest or near the highest time of possession for many years now. Russ is no doubt the best rebounding guard, but it's not like he's getting his double digit rebounds like big men are, as 76% of his rebounds are Uncontested Rebounds, while a guy like Jokic gets those rebounding numbers while only 57% of his rebounds are Uncontested Rebounds.

[@Udon_Noodle]

The problem is he's never been on a team built around him, the best we got was Houston and he hijacked that from Harden

[@juju-vl7oj]

Yea it seems like if you built the LeBron style team around Russ, 1 secondary scorer and shooters/defenders then Russ would be more successful, but Russ still isn't consistently efficient or great late game decision maker for me to think he could be a #1 on a championship team.

[@slickshotzz13]

He got OKC to the playoffs on his own basically, his best teammate was Steven Adams. You surround Russ with the players capable of doing their job night in and night out, he's going somewhere. You can't have a superstar playing well all season just to get into the playoffs and shoot 30% and expect Russ to carry all that extra weight. Look what it's took to actually stop Russ when he's had reliable teammates, in OKC they lost to Dallas, who won a ring, Miami, who won a ring, GS, who won a ring, look at Houston with Harden, they beat OKC who everybody thought was actually better with CP3 over Russ, beat them, but lost to the Lakers, who won a ring. You give Russ a reliable star and he's going to give other teams a heart attack. Give Washington till next year, barring they don't do anything stupid, those boys definitely going to the playoffs.

[@Kevinschart]

worst idea ever building a team around russ. he's not that guy.... i know he's got a lot of energy so he can get a bunch of rebounds, but that's not winning basketball.

[@Udon_Noodle]

@@Kevinschart bro you just a hater, russ is the only PG in HISTORY to have multiple 700+ assist seasons with no shooters in sight. He don't even need elite shooters, just someone who is even slightly dangerous from range and he'll boost their play.

[@itsallanillusion7097]

This is getting sad... Washington got robbed last night by the way... What we are seeing from Russ is not going to come along again for some time.. Just enjoy the show man... yes he can be reckless … but the dude is fixing his game... he has been way more efficient lately and these cats are rolling... they got robbed by whistles last night.. the east better hope they dont get in

[@Kevinschart]

watching him not win isn't enjoyable for a lot of people. a lot of guys in the league can put up crazy numbers. but that's not winning basketball. russ is just out there running around like a crazy person. the stats look good but if his style is perfectly built to LOSE then I don't care how many stat boxes he fills up

Westbrook isn't a top 5 all-time PG because his basketball IQ causes him to drop off in the postseason. I'd take CP3 over Westbrook in my all-time PG ranking even though neither has a ring.

he dont always make the right play because he isn't trying to win he's trying to tally assists and rebounds and points

Are stats not more often than not a by product of usage rate an playing hard than ‘stat stuffing’ you can manipulate stats if you could score then pass an vice versa. But you can’t stat pad on rebounds. That’s just playing hard. At 6ft 3 that’s playing about as hard as a human being can play.

People need to get it right... Get back to the old paths and remember this 1 thing... The POINT Guard position is equivalent IN IMPORTANCE to both the QB on offense and the MIC on Defense in football... Russ just doesn't have the game iq to run a offense and defense.. Look at Stockton, Payton, Nash, Kidd, Isaiah... even prime Lebron as a point forward... PG= Point General

[@chrisdatasiankid]

The criticism is rightfully deserving!! Great player no doubt but yes just a box scorer he's had plenty of great players on his team many years. There's nomore excuses for him on not winning a chip.

[@musafawundu6718]

He can almost certainly not win a chip unless he has a few great players with him, and even then that is not guaranteed, as has been demonstrated in the past. People will blame him for the his failure to win a chip when alongside KD, but he still needs to have a few great players to have a good chance of winning a chip, whether he wins the chip because of himself or despite himself.

[@Kevinschart]

@@musafawundu6718 he had players in OKC but he ran KD out of town. Harden had to come off the bench because he wasn't gonna get any shots with Russ not passing the ball. If he's playing so well and he's the 2nd greatest PG ever let's see how many players are CLAMBERING to get to DC to play with the all time great.
