Russell Westbrook scores 58 points in loss - did it help his MVP chances? | UNDISPUTED

[@TheFacilityonFS1]

Will Russ win MVP?

[@hereforthebeans]

I think its either Harden or Kawhi imo.

[@blaneries8925]

Cashew Russ is so overrated they just see triple double and think MVP he won't win 50 games he'll probably finish in the 7th seed also he's a bad leader and kd left because his basketball iq in the clutch is trash

[@dantevarona8962]

no

[@Yoko.Kurama]

Blane Ries kd left because he is too passive and wanted a easy ring.

[@chubbychuckle]

Yoko Kurama No that's why he went to Golden State. Hr left OKC cause the front office and partly Russell's play style.

[@AnitaHanjaaab]

Nelly needs a job on Undisputed, he makes some GREAT points every debate.

[@Iwokeuphere559]

This is my first time checking this show out. Gotta say it's refreshing to hear these guys talk sports and not Steven A yelling at everyone about nothing the whole segment

[@usr2842]

Westbrook 54% shooting with 9 assists, 58 points. The reason they lost is because their defence is poor.

[@dantheman5607]

Ujjal Ray he's part of the defence tho

[@Xman62398]

Ujjal Ray players shoot 50% against Westbrook he is part of the problem on defense

[@jeffhardy6333]

Ujjal Ray he took 39 shots and not one of his teammates took more than 10. Just because he gets assists doesn't mean he uses his team

[@russell9411]

Pretty Boy Javi drop 58 shootin over 50% but again lets blaim russ? maybe if okc bench wasnt so pathetic russ would win games easy

[@hectorleon3765]

1-8 in the last 5 minutes.

[@kb-is1jn]

so kobe couldn't win the mvp when they had the best record in the west from 07-10 for four years because the media said he had gasol..but lebron had wade bosh love Irving and they still handle the mvp to him..lmao

[@marcusreed7985]

[@ericfreelove4642]

[@kevinflowers463]

But lebron hasnt received an MVP with Irving and Love so why would you even bring that up lol and the lakers only had the best record in the West for 3 years (which kobe won an MVP). on top of that I never heard anyone say that kobe was out of the conversation just because he had Gasol. Kobe came in 2nd and 3rd place for MVP the other two years you are talking about and even came in 3rd in the 07 season when the lakers finished 42-40 so he was always in the conversation but somebody just deserved it more those years...I dont even like lebron but he deserved the 08&09 MVPs so what are you talking about.

[@manonthemoon2815]

i dont think casual fans know team's record is a big factor in mvp voting

[@FabianGarcia-qt1tk]

Ma Jo for real its either 1st or 2nd in either conference. At that rate, Lebron is the best candidate and this is coming from a GSW fan. I highly respect LeBrons game. He can get a triple double even if he wanted to cause hes a (25-30)-9-8 guy easily AND he wins!

[@AaronSoDope]

Fabian Garcia top 3 seed or 4 depending on exactly how dominant you are

[@stevenmichaelfletcherjr4464]

Fabian Garcia I think Kawhi is more fitting, or Harden

[@kdtrey5isabeast]

Aaron Murrell where are you getting top 3 or 4 from? Nobody outside of the top 2 has won in 30 years. By that logic harden and Westbrook shouldn't be included

[@kdtrey5isabeast]

Fabian Garcia he's 42-20 and in the east. They're 28-10 in their conference compared to 14-10 in the west. That's very mediocre especially with the team he has. Kawhi is definitely above lebron in MVP voting

[@KDz315]

"How can you hog the mic, when the mic was made for you?"

[@jonahashby8045]

People are forgetting that MVP does not necessarily stand for the best player with the best record. The MVP is the most valuable player to HIS team. The Thunder would be down there with the Nets without Westbrook. While with all the other candidates they all have likely chances to still make the playoffs.

[@joshuajames3964]

Jonah Ashby excatly.

[@Gearstin]

"totally disrepectful" I spat my coffee lmfao

[@nickca6104]

Russ won't win MVP. He deserves it though. He is averaging a historic 30 point triple double, while being the leading scorer in the NBA. He has a higher player efficiency rating than James Harden. He is also much better defensively than him. On top of that the only player to score more in the fourth is Isaiah Thomas.

[@nerdiniss]

Much better defensively? Players guarded by Westbrook shoot 46% and players guarded by Harden shoot 38%. Harden and Westbrook average nearly the same blocks and steals, harden having the slight edge in steals and Westbrook having the slight edge in blocks. And on top of that, when they've played each other, Harden has won 2/3 so unless Westbrook goes on an unbelievable winning streak and takes 4th in the west, he lost his chance

[@apex9750]

What about the 5 minutes in the second quarter when Westbrook was off the floor and his teammates couldn't manage to score a single point but gave up like 12?

[@TheAlQueezy]

Seen Nelly in the thumbnail, I just had to watch this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

The thing that sucks about defense is that basic numbers don't quantitatively measure its importance. Kawhi Leonard is the most complete player in the NBA if you think of offensive and defensive efficiency. I didn't say the BEST or MOST SKILLED. But 'skill' isn't as important as efficiency. Kobe Bryant was a perfect example of that. I don't care how skilled or talented you are...if you take 22 shots and make 9, the guy who makes 12 is a more efficient and valuable player because he does more with the same amount of opportunity. People knock Kawhi for all of these variables that are more about emotion than logic when the simple truth is, he gives you 26.3 ppg while only needing 18 shots a game and a shooting line of 49/39/89. So he's offensively efficient as all time great shooters like Larry Bird, Steve Nash, and Steph Curry, but is also the premier wing defender in basketball hands down. The only other player in my lifetime that could make that claim was Michael Jordan circa 1988 to 1990. But defense never gets enough credit because most people only look at blocks and steals as a metric for your ability on that side of the court. He's the MVP. The Spurs are on pace to win 64 games and the clear dominant guy on that squad is Kawhi Leonard.

[@nathanter7622]

[@forks3819]

Kwai is MVP. He's all about the the game, Lebum be like: one more player, I swear just one more,

[@evanalayan2152]

I don't think Westbrook can be MVP when he keeps getting all these triple doubles and 40 point games and they still keep losing. The MVP shouldn't be about stats, it should be about who leads their team to success, and okc is nearly at the bottom of the west in playoff standings

[@topnotchblood]

Exactly. An MVP has to be able to elevate his teammates to a respectable level of success. Otherwise what he does is just stat padding for the sake of stat padding.

[@surajxnair2911]

Evan Alayan are u high? the bottom of the west? u obviously dont watch the nba

[@evanalayan2152]

Suraj Nair i meant in playoff standings

[@crhuynh8]

Evan Alayan It is all depending on how you define what MVP is. If it is based on the best player of the best team in the league, it is KD. However, kd is now injured and he has so much controversial off season, he won't win. Therefore, the next in line is Kawhi - best player of the 2nd best team by a good margin. If it is based on the best player of the league, you may say the Marshmallow. However, after this Marshmallow has been exposed to try to buy a championship than competing, especially now he has the most stacked team with the highest payroll of all time and playing in the weak east. He has been disqualified for MVP race (Esp if we are disqualifying kd for the same reason for having too much talents). The next line is Kawhi the best two way player in the 2nd best team. If it is based on the most impact player, it is Westbrook since he is having a historical triple double avg season (the last one is more than 50+ years ago) and also doing more with less especially the second best player of the league kd left. However, due to the team record, he most likely won't win. Therefore, again, the next in line is Kawhi. Not only taking over the leadership role after TD retires, but his production has also been improved significantly while still playing elite defence. Most importantly, the spurs is winning. They also have a good chance of winning the best team record in the league. You may ask what about harden. Honesty, harden is irrelevant all year long. First of all, he has no D Esp comparing to kawhi. Even though he may not have any def awareness and iq, the worst part is that he has never been willing to commit any def. All he gives us excuses after excuses. Secondly, even though he may be known for his offence, he is not as great as he really is if you look at his beyond his inflated numbers. He has never been an efficient shooter (he gets his points via high volume, especially flopping for easy points - summer school league called him out for flopping). Even though he may be a decent passer, he is again getting assists via hogging the ball more than 90% of the time and dumping the ball to his shooters while playing under one of the best offensive system (d'antonio's). If he cannot get double digit assists, he should be sent back to D league. Lastly, everyone seems to bring rockets winning record as harden's main argument for the MVP race. But the problem with that argument is that the rockets are winning because of d'antonio and the team Esp after harden singlehandedly destroyed the whole team a year ago. Without d'antonio, rockets would be dysfunction like last year under harden's selfish isolation isolation and leadership. It is why rockets are building the team around d'antonio system rather than harden as harden is now simply a product of d'antonio system. However, even with the rockets record, spurs under Kawhi leadership is still much better, especially the last game Kawhi showed harden who is the real MVP. It is not just about putting up numbers. It is all about committing and doing it all in both ends of the floor. Therefore, if I need to choose a MVP for this season, it is Kawhi. It is not even debatable.

[@riedstep]

Evan Alayan you clearly don't understand what an mvp is. the only reason why the thunder is not dead last is because of westbrook. without him they are basically the nets. he improves any team he is traded to for anyone other than lebron.

[@kambuibomani231]

At this point, he needs to revisit what matters most. Being a champ or a bitter old star with no ring. I think a move to San Antonio seems the most idealistic to achieve a title.

[@C2Poke]

MVP stands for MOST VALUABLE PLAYER. It doesn't stand for Most Triple-Doubles. Don't tell me what a guy doesn't have. Tell me how he makes the most of what he does have. The Cavs have the 4th best overall record and the 1-seed in the East, despite 2 starters missing extended time and having no backup PG or Center all season long. The Spurs have the 2nd best overall record despite Duncan retiring and Parker/Ginobili being shells of their former selves. The Rockets have the 3rd best overall record despite a new HC/System, Harden switching to PG and having to integrate new players. Lebron/Kawhi/Harden are the main reason each of those teams are contenders despite the challenges they faced. Don't make excuses for Westbrook.

[@thart1338]

[@younggoofy4121]

Cornell Cannon thank you

[@johncarlosramirez1935]

Looks like your the one making excuses for the cavs. They play the weakest teams the most amount of times and their conference is weaker and they clearly have nothing but good players and now they even gotten better players although bogut broke his leg. Look at the nba you fool how many ppl have backup centers and who really needs them anyway. Yeah they didn't have a backup pg for most of the season cuz they didn't play him much they had a rookie pg. Okc was playing a rookie in their starting lineup most the season. And oh yeah they have Norris cole now but before that most the season Payne was injured so their backup was a guy who no one knows and 2k character is probably a scarecrow. Oh and cameron Payne is great right? They ain't have a backup pg but they gotta all star pg why you ain't say that

[@johncarlosramirez1935]

The spurs have a great coach and really good players dude. All their players can short and they have guys who ppl don't know abt that doesn't mean they can't play. Adams oladip kanter and Payne missed games this season. Offensively Roberson is terrible dude. Their not excuses westbrook is the MVP. Take him off the thunder they would be like the Brooklyn "barely an nba team" nets. Take lebron off the cavs they'd have a good chance of still making the finals even more so cuz Lowry won't play in the playoffs. Yeah they lost duncan who was old yeah he still played well but he was old and also played like he was old at times. Okc lost kd and everyone thought they'd be garbage but their not

[@thepac12andbig10suck]

Read your first sentence. MVP also doesn't stand for Most Valuable Team neither. You can just as easily say the Thunder are at least in the Playoff race because of Westbrook.

[@C2Poke]

Westbrook is not the damn MVP. Don't tell me he doesn't have any shooters. When you shoot 25 shots per game, your teammates don't get much of a chance to get a rhythm. Russ had 3 teammates shooting better than 50% last night and NONE of them got more than 9 shots because RUSS SHOT THE BALL 39 TIMES!!! Plus, his team is a 7-seed. Gotta have better team success to be MVP.

[@JacaboBlanco]

Cornell Cannon you just contradicted yourself. you said that if the others don't get enough shots, they can't get into a rhythm (implying they won't have a good fg %) yet you then admit that a few of his teammates had over 50% shooting yesterday, each with less than 9 shots. so you just contradicted yourself and destroyed your initial claim with your second .

[@OmegaZeroX28]

yeah but westbrook shouldn't be close to outshooting his TEAM that's ridiculous also i get what he means how do you know if someone gonna get hot when they shoot the ball only 7 or 9 times (roberson and sabonis shot 7 times and oladipo shot 9 times) we don't know if they gonna catch fire or not if they barely shoot the ball

[@DeathPenguin1000]

If your team is hot like that, they probably should've had more plays made for them. But Westbrook is the best stat-padder of all time and stats is all that matters I guess.

[@sarangdesai9035]

[@DeathPenguin1000]

Add this in, why isn't he #1 in assists then if he is a PG with the highest usage rate of all time?

[@josephho690]

One thing that Nelly and Skip Bayless failed to understand is that MVP is the Most Valuable Player award. Its not the "Best Stats" award. Just because Westbrook is averaging a Triple Double and leading the league in points, he is not more "valuable" to his team than Harden, Kawhi, or Lebron. Being the "Most Valuable Player" means your importance to your team success. Harden, Kawhi, and Lebron are much more "valuable" than Westbrook because at the end of the day, what matters more? Winning games or padding stats? The MVP award goes to a player who is the most valuable player to their respective team's success. Westbrook may be averaging a triple double, but its not equating to team success so he is not as valuable as Harden, Kawhi, or Lebron. Putting up great stats is one thing, but if your team isn't as successful as the other teams, then you shouldn't be considered more valuable when the other three players are leading their teams to wins.

[@rogersampeur7033]

Joseph Ho I agree but triple double is unheard of n if u took him off team they would be lottery team. he has no help at all which makes it more impressive

[@otislea3962]

do u even know what most valuable player means bro. put off russ off the team, they r a lottery team. when russ is on the bench, they start losing a lead or losing by a lot. they wouldnt even be in the play offs with out russ. harden is valuable to the rockets, but put him off and rockets are at least number 8 or lower but not a lottery team. put kawhi out, they are still in the play offs. its already proven that when russ is on the bench, okc is like the brooklyn nets. okc lose games when russ is not getting triple doubles. yes russ could get more assists, but harden doesnt have a big load up his back like russ does. russ gives 100% every game.

[@jeffhardy6333]

Its not like he plays in the weak east where'd the thunder would be 4th or 5th. ask yourself this. if you took the spurs, cavs, thunder,rockets and took LeBron,leonard,harden,westbrook all off their teams. I guarantee you the thunder would miss Westbrook more than any other team misses their superstar. he is the most important to his team. making him the most valuable. oh and he's averaging a triple double. that's crazy.

I agree. I'm a Spurs fan and Kawhi never gets the credit he deserves but this year he had a slow start, and it's hard to win an MVP with popovich because right after those 4 straight 30 point games he just sat one out. I got Harden winning it, not in a landslide, but if he leads the league in assists and keeps his team top 3 (basically guaranteed) he deserves it. However kawhi has a chance if he takes 1 in the west and keeps playing the lights out, I just see him slowing down soon.

To be real I believe da Beard n Russ should b co MVPS but Babyface Assassin handed every MVP candidate Ls this past week. And he has the best record. Just saying. #whosdarealMVP?

[@QBziZ]

Nelly is good in that show. Clear talker.

[@tonyshlean]

Lebron automatically out the race. Harden for MVP. Kawhi runner up Westbrook very very close 3rd

[@black_savage96]

King Joe can you at least give a reason? lol

[@tonyshlean]

cause Im a Lebron fan and I dont wanna hear people bitching for a whole year on every thread if he gets it because Westbrook is avr a triple double.

[@black_savage96]

good point

[@kiriakoz]

It says a lot about Nelly’s musical knowledge that the most relevant example he could think of was The Jackson Five.

[@jennieredrose5819]

Nelly was a kobe hater, so I don't like much of anything he has to say. lol 😄

[@EntertainmentGuru101]

What do you mean a kobe hater? What did he say what was considered hating?

[@forks3819]

Cool Loner haha, nope. I would rank Kobe a bit higher, what stops both of them from being the greatest is their finals losses to the underdog with their respected super teams, that never happened to Jordan,

[@karaanwajeer]

@Cool Loner Duh

[@kevinbailey598]

hey

[@teecrowder4227]

Jennie RedRose rightt lol

[@jodycollier8012]

I got James Harden for MVP with Kawaii a close 2nd, King James 3rd and Westbrook 4th based on who was most VALUABLE this season to they team

[@rfritz901]

Kawhi has Aldridge and that's it Westbrook has Adams, Kanter and Oladipo

[@carlosgutierrez2789]

fritzyness kawhi has a lot more than just aldridge

[@rfritz901]

John Jean yes Westbrook does have a better team than Kawhi

[@LethalPlayers]

fritzyness And Aldridge is putting up numbers comparable to Avery Bradely.

[@john_jean]

***** pau gasol is 38 and doesn't play defense

[@Jaime-II]

fritzyness stop talking nonsense . "Kawhi has Aldridge" Aldridge incapable of making an open shot he's struggled this year big time.these last couple ofgames he's improving which is good, but this year our second best consistent player has to be David Lee lol

[@jaymaine13]

Every time I see Nelly on ESPN I think about that "Uncensored Trash Talk Spoof" video

[@NeoLegendX]

spurs have a overated max PF in aldrige gasol is good but got older old international players D leaguers let go players and kawhi finds a way to work with them in synergy i would give him MVP they have a great record the players he works with are not that special then houstons or thunders also he plays D

[@ricanLegend2003]

Now victor is an all star😂😂😂

[@BIGDREAMER444]

HARDENMVP

[@Stev4e897]

RIFKIN 666 no

[@BIGDREAMER444]

Stev4e897 yes

[@Stev4e897]

RIFKIN 666 lol what a delusional idiot

[@rugged1209]

I'm nit a okc fan But Russell Westbrook is a BEAST

[@DizzyBable]

Russell is kids MVP. LeHelp is kids GOAT. It's a snowflake thing. It's cool. Its logical. Kawhi is mens MVP. MJ mens GOAT.

[@kenmatong3794]

jacob sibcy better than MJ? lmao nah

[@yusukeortiz7336]

consecutive x4 championship,x4 finals mvp and try to stop throwing tantrums every time his team is not cool enough, I think that will do.

[@77zaiman]

My favorite comment all season thoo. Kawhi is the real mvp then Harden and/or Westbrook

[@lilcobe829]

Jaja Pejulier L😂😂😂

[@thepac12andbig10suck]

He will also retire with more games and seasons than Jordan, so stat totals are for the most part going to favor LeBron. Averages is what counts. He will average more rebs and assists, but not points and steals. The first title run with the cavs was pretty good, but overhyped too. Lebron played the first 2 rounds vs teams who didn't even have a winning record. He did take over with Detroit, but they were only like the 5th best team in the league.

[@NolieJizzle]

Westbrook has To WIN MVP

[@carlosgutierrez2789]

Westbrook's triple doubles are blinding people. he's not the MVP

[@josephho690]

Yeah it is blinding people and making them look ignorant. Their argument is "triple doubles" but if its not leading to wins, then you are not as valuable as the players who are leading their teams to more success.

[@lazarosmaroulis3969]

Joseph Ho the Spurs have better players than okc, so do the rockets and obviously the cavs do. That is the reason why they have better records. I guarantee you if you put Westbrook on the Spurs or rockets they would do similarly.

[@salsitude1629]

Joseph Ho It is leading to wins. They have a much better win % when he gets a triple double.

[@LeBraun7]

26-6 when he gets a triple double... He does the most for his team, therefore he is the most valuable.

[@demetriussmith9495]

And your acting oblivious to the triple doubles. Why isn't he MVP ?

[@SShaBazzz]

looking at the entire story, I can't help but have Westbrook #1 in the MVP race. Shannon, you can't say Westbrook isn't passing the ball, he's averaging double digit assists. he doesn't have anyone else on the team and they are still in the play-off race. Westbrook; it's inevitable for him to run out of gas. He's doing extreme amounts of work. I can't have Harden above Westbrook when he's doing that much work and still succeeding.

[@RetroMamba]

Why is Lebron ahead of Isaiah??? They just lost to the heat twice. Lebron is so overrated

[@kdentonjm]

and neither Nelly nor Shannon would bring dat up, he has all the help in Lebron and still lost back to back to an 8th seed team, wow, smh

[@DeaconSlade]

I'm NOT a lebron fan but to say a dude that is the engine for 2 different teams going to the finals and he's gone 6 straight times is overrated is ridiculous.

[@Goatology]

RetroMamba How is the best player in the league overrated ?

[@TreIII23]

Why are Kobe fans always obsessed about Lebron? Lol

[@TreIII23]

philip brown Obviously y'all do if y'all always mentioning him. Y'all mention him more than curry haters mention curry lmao

[@jordanjenkins1671]

Shannon got Skip in a corner for his hypocrisy on Lebron haha

[@thekiddsean33026]

People who hate on Westbrook don't now anything about basketball

[@111illmatic]

thekiddsean330 Westbrook doesn't know anything about basketball. No basketball iq whatsoever

[@kimjongpoon2628]

People who think Westbrook is MVP don't know anything about basketball.

[@josephho690]

Actually its the other way around. No one is hating on Westbrook. Its just there are players who contribute more to their teams' success. Having great stats is one thing but if your team is sitting in the 7th spot, then you're not as valuable as players who's team has the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th best record in the NBA.

[@matthewdavis8705]

thekiddsean330-I agree with you! You have idiots that preach that he doesn't make his team better, and call him a stat padder to discredit anything Westbrook does, but forgets the fact that he's literally carrying his team. Westbrook is almost averaging a triple double every game, but he still a ball hogger to most people. You Westbrook haters disgust me

[@silvertiger937]

Matthew Davis mic drop

[@JayTheRealest1]

"SKIP! SKIP! SKIUUUUPPPP!"

[@thegoats23greatestsggreate52]

Westbrook MVP

[@livinglegend5739]

I agree with Shannon 100% . an MVP wins and makes his team BETTER. MVP is supposed to make the right passes and be efficient with the ball .

[@viewsofphoenix6548]

The only reason Westbrook is relevant is because of his triple double STAT line. If he averages 30-8-11, he isn't even top 5 in MVP conversation.

[@rebelsoup1947]

AugDuckScout so true bro.. so true 👏👏👏

[@viewsofphoenix6548]

SuperPunch76 because that's his main argument. He is good, but has taken the most shots in the NBA and has a low fg percentage, has a bad team who may end up an 8th seed, and has a losing record against playoff teams. Not advocating for any candidate, but his triple double doesn't impress me because it's just a stat that at the end of the day is just a cool little trivia question.

[@javierpina5994]

He's been a mvp candidate past 2 years lol

[@viewsofphoenix6548]

Javier Pina you mean last year when Kevin Durant carried him to a good record?

[@rebelsoup1947]

Young Man Lebron is just that much better.. Westbrook is a S500 Lebron is a Maybach lol

[@Nevastopcashin]

Nelly sounds like a better sports analyst than Shannon 😂

[@unbiaseditachitard1521]

Russell westbrick is not winning MVP

[@zroysum]

lol

[@traceybean7297]

that was my argument for 2years with harden he was passing the ball even before he started going off this year in assists that's been my argument they said James harden didn't pass the ball but he had no shooters around him,but nobody saw that.

[@eliasmina5805]

Westbrook is overrated

[@weston1115]

Elias Mina how lmao

[@mikolkindlejr249]

Elias Mina You smokin flakka

[@sonicoduh1125]

Explain how hes overrated?

[@alij8h]

Blank Blank Stat padder

[@usr2842]

the man shot 54% with 58 pts, somehow getting 10 assists per game this season when OKC are a very poor shooting team

[@adithyamuthukumar7136]

Nelly the real MVP!!

[@Jamojjamo]

Nelly's the smartest basketball analyst as an artist

[@anthonyvr6908]

MVP race 1 harden 2 Kawhi 3LeBron 4 Westbrook

[@saucedupwill]

Westbrook should get it

[@rayfordrahming1594]

I wish I could go on ESPN/FOX and explain why Westbook is overrated.

[@YoungDen]

Westbrook is MVP and remember this is his first season running the team.

[@hermannn528]

Damn Nelly turned into an analyst now. He's become a regular on Fox now. Nice transition from music I'm just wondering what his sports background is.

[@iamanironman4141]

Shannon spitting factts

[@austindean2396]

Where is IT?

[@painn4334]

MVP is an Individual success award not team, it's not his fault his teammates can't step up, I get he needs to work on his IQ especially late in the game but he's doing all he can to win

[@randyrhoads9153]

I value Nelly's opinion over everyone else at the table
