What NBA Players , Coaches and Legends think of Russell Westbrook !!!!!!

[@triggamanful]

NOTICE players do NOT criticize him they see the greatness it's only media personnel and folks that haven't played ball that have all kind of shit to say about him. Russ is GREAT I've been saying that since 2009. Much respect to our 2016-17 MVP

[@elekstrames2026]

The people that play against westbrook say he the MVP thats when you know he is

[@Rockcroc2000Rm1wE3erWmNfkL]

Reminds me of Nash and Kobe in 06, Westbrook will likely be robbed. Hope he isn't tho.

[@Nawfside58]

when u playing on da road and da opposing fans is chanting mvp..thas when u know u got da juice

[@bantes62]

Chris Clark naw he got the sauce. Juice dont last that long lmao

[@vibeeyyy8923]

Gave me chills when Scottie said it was the greatest single season performance he's ever seen

[@EuroGupper]

Russell Westbrook should make things right with KD for leaving. Russ: "Yo KD!" KD: "Sup Russ!?" Russ: "Im MVP because of you, thanks for leaving like a biatch"

[@KColonelSanders405]

Snyder187 lmaoooooooooo

[@TartarianTopG]

Snyder187 true dat

[@lani1asa2]

Westbrook is like nothing I've ever seen before. He is an amazing athlete He's the only player that has made me stop looking at Jordan highlights on You Tube. Now, I want to see Westbrook highlights (since I've seen all the Jordan highlights.)

[@Z3N17H1U5]

trudat. Westbrook is amazing, i mean just watch the guy

[@noorkashif9107]

He always brings so much energy, everyone should be watching Westbrook highlights!! haha

[@nikeettg5613]

stratton barbee checkout some old pre injury d rose highlights as well I would put him in that category of box office entertainment with that freak athleticism like Jordan & Westbrook.

[@Rockcroc2000Rm1wE3erWmNfkL]

Jordan airballing free throws.

[@mrblend]

lol you need to stop watching highlights, watch games.

[@brandonlurenzo411]

You can't teach the energy this dude have

[@octaviakf]

This is whats up for real this is some of the best basketball I"ve seen in a long time and I just wish my dad was alive to see it as well we could talk about it. Russ is hands down easily the MVP for me straight up I love Hardens game as well but he's not having the same type of historic MVP season.

[@premiumchannel6244]

octaviakf im sorry of your loss and you are right

[@ish2334]

octaviakf sorry for your loss

[@LifelsGreat]

octaviakf Sorry for your loss my man. Really hurt reading that. Feel free to hit me up if you wanna talk about basketball!

[@Chris85007]

Sorry for your loss, its great that ya'll were able to connect over something like basketball:) Enjoy the postseason, God Bless!!

[@4thekulture616]

Glad to hear his peers and coacheS say such great things about him. He's so talented. It really hurts me when people don't appreciate his greatness and actually knock him

[@MarlyMarlPodcast]

Glad to have witnessed this! You deserve the MVP AWARD this year Russ!!!

[@SugaFree2387]

i feel like westbrook is secretly adjusting his sliders to 100

[@ManoharRajanlalala]

Still hard to believe Kevin Durant Russel Westbrook and James Harden were on the same team

[@babychrisbreezy]

I'm done with the NBA if he don't win MVP

[@bigglizzy1952]

Facts bruh

[@Rockcroc2000Rm1wE3erWmNfkL]

[@hmackprotection1]

[@unknownx7252]

King Breezy well being done is far fetch but I hear you, he is a clear winner.

[@kabisikletamba142]

okay, bye.

[@TheBlersh]

Larry Bird trying to recruit Wbrook

[@Onlyrealmusic4life]

that would be dope lol just because he would have guidance from Larry

[@okcfan129]

TheBlersh LOL why not

[@runningwithcat6195]

Westbrook recruited Bird's players instead ahaha Oladipo and PG both playing well for their teams now, I'm happy

[@jugojugo6591]

😂😂😂😂

[@BULLIESBULLY]

You can't hate on westbrook he's literally what nba needs competiveness and entertainment & Stop talkin down on harden they both former teammates who clearly fuck with a each other AND BOTH ARE COOKING ON A DAILY BASIS RESPECT

[@noorkashif9107]

I love his energy, you can see it in the way he plays, MVP for sure in my book, triple doubles is another thing. When he goes out onto the floor he brings the intensity always.

[@elekstrames2026]

The only record James harden breaking is most turnovers in a season

[@danieldaw1778]

Elek Strames Which ironically, is a record he already holds.

[@jonmoonie676]

+Daniel Daw how is that ironic.. if he already holds the record we should expect him to do what he is doing so idk if you know how to use that term pal

[@danieldaw1778]

jon moonie​​ Irony- "a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result." Normally you don't expect someone breaking a record to be the one who set the record in the first place.

[@jonmoonie676]

+Daniel Daw yeah I take that back.. thanks for further explanation mr Daniel

[@EuroGupper]

Elek Strames Again! 🙄

[@owenlamb8208]

love seeing these guys talk about their peers rather then guys like skip, stephen a etc.. those guts just talk for ratings sake, these guys see what russ does on a nightly basis and know what theyre seeing is unheard of

[@daviderossi864]

when you hear this from Pop, Jordan, Shaq, Bird and people STILL complain.

[@bernardopoku9649]

My favorite public figure of all time! You can relate to his struggles and his effort. No public figure sermed intriguing to me till i found out about Westbrook in 2013.

[@jarodrochell1310]

I understand if someone thinks Harden or someone else should be MVP. Its all objective, really. But these "basketball experts" that are all over youtube saying westbrook fans are delusional and what he's doing isn't even that impressive, those people i don't understand at all. What do they think when they see people like the ones in this video talk about russ? "Oh, that MJ doesn't know anything about basketball." "Shaquille O'neal is delusional, he doesn't know what he's talking about."

[@sebastiangardey799]

I think you mean subjective

[@jarodrochell1310]

Yeah that lol

[@crhuynh8]

Jarod Rochell Harden singlehandedly destroyed the whole team a year ago and now rockets needs to get new coach, new teammates and new system to clean up harden's mess. It is why rockets are building the team around d'antoni system rather than harden as harden's selfish isolation style has proven to be biggest failure which he got his coaches fired in 11 games, made all his teammates into scrubs in their career low and pushed them out of town one by one. Harden is now simply a product of d'antoni. Stop stealing credit from d'antoni and the team for fixing up harden who has proven to be the worst leader wannabe. D'antoni deserves the coty more than harden for mvp. Therefore, rockets winning is irrelevant in this MVP race. Tired ppl keeps bring this up. for the that reason, harden is no mvp.

[@mentre4634]

99 What? 😅

[@cbenji07]

Jarod Rochell MJ averaged 30 8 8 on 50+% shooting from the field...Westbrook doing a tremendous feat but at 42% fg

[@odeelocctv6666]

Good Vid. I was trying to tell the Westbrook haters. It doesn't matter what people who never played the game say his basketball peers respect him.

[@capt.Justin]

Westbrook👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

[@bleuberry5316]

both players are very talented okay? but the MVP award goes to Russ I'm sorry rockets fans but he is just lights out amazing!

[@urlintoussaint6033]

I WOULDN'T TRUST THE BALL IN ANYONE ELSE'S HANDS IN A BASKETBALL GAME LIKE, I WOULD WESTBROOK... HE GIVES 150% IN EVERY GAME THAT HE PLAYS. HE MADE ME A BELIEVER IN 2012 DURING THE NBA FINALS AGAINST HEAT. AINT NO OTHER POINT GUARD IN THE LEAGUE PUTTING IN WORK LIKE WESTBROOK!!!

[@zacharymartin3862]

I believed in him since he was on the sonics

[@TheMarsLegend]

Zachary Martin he never played in a sonics uniform dude after he got drafted they converted to okc before the season started lol

[@percussionjamz6704]

i know its hard to understand sarcasm through a screen, but god damn dude

[@shawnpierre2102]

Zachary Martin 😒😒😒😒smh

[@quisegotthapiece8077]

mars khan That was the joke

[@willowandluka5302]

Hold this W

[@Cjtorres23]

After this season, Westbrook should be considered a top 3 player in the world (yes he's better than Stephen Curry) I've never seen a player other than Kobe play so fearless this dude gives it 100% every game.

[@bernardopoku9649]

one thing people don't realise is that almost all of Westbrook's shots are contested! And using statistics and probability, it has been determined that it is harder to make a shot contested than in transition and off screens. You can blame this on the coach or the gm for the system being run. I think he can get up to 40+% at 3 point line. And get his inner shots up to 50% with the newer additions if they structure the system to get Westbrook off the ball a lot. And make him take contested shots only if it's the last 3 seconds and there isn't a better alternative. Make paul george handle the ball a bit more. Steven adams too. He's a big man and he's shown to have a passing ability. You can look it up on youtube. So have Adams and paul george handle the ball like 70% of possession. When adams handles the ball, he's matched up with a point guard. A point guard can't handle a center, no matter how energetic or strong you are. So there'll be a mismatch there. He can back the points guards up and try to take it to the basket. They'll have no option but to double team cos that's an easy 2 points. So there'll be 3 defenders guarding 4 offensive guys. With one of their centers guarding a guard. And a guard has more handles and more skills so he can dribble and score an easy two. Even he doesn't have handles (andre robberson), there'll still be 4 guys on offen offense, with an odd one out. They could pass till the best shooter or the one feeling the day gets the ball with no defender on him. That's an easy 3 or deep 2 points. With this strategy, we can win the championship.

[@michaelaaron2415]

True

[@Eb-sq3jd]

Bernard Opoku yep👍👍

[@shepmaster5438]

I've been telling everyone this

[@Logano0o0o0o0]

I know I’m mad late, but for those who love him hate him, he fully deserved the mvp. HE DID EVERYTHING. His personal stats were so clearly above everyone else.

[@oneil2233]

THE NBA IS BACK

[@antoniorowe701]

Russ da truth he my keeper in my fantasy bball league

[@WolfofWexlerStreet]

I approve this message. Westbrook is the MVP

[@michaelaaron2415]

Well westbrook is in a shell he is fierce outside but soft in the inside i respect you brother i'm gonna make the nba one day just you watch

[@picklerick9928]

Westbrook MVP facts

[@TMR2418]

👊👊👊👊 Westbrook for MVP from a Cavs fan lol. This video shows NBA former and present players are praising Westbrook on how great of a season he is having. Harden is a monster He is def had a great season Lebron James is always in MVP talks and is sometimes under valued because he is almost expected to keep his numbers and people are so use to seeing him be great.

[@ImProudtobeCanadian]

BIG O, LOVE YOU MAN :)

[@deaudu]

Great video!

[@kudabeen]

Makes me real proud to see this from NBA royalty...The fact that you don't dismiss what this guy is doing...the people early on look even more foolish now..he did the "impossible" at the most opportune time...How he does it is as important in the fact that he's done it...Harden probably could have averaged two more rebounds as well on that Rockets team, but his game isn't as relentless...he is a load to stop scoring, but Russ is going to get offensive rebounds and put backs in the trees... #Beast #MVP

[@SurfyXO]

Doesn't matter if he's stat padding. He's accomplishing things that make him an MVP 💯. I don't understand people sometimes. They dislike ring chasers, stat padders, etc... It doesn't matter. Atleast they going after what they want. They go after championships and MVPs. I'm glad I'm watching Westbrook work hard out there. I also love the support of his team that he has.

[@montaellis2860]

Russ is the mvp

[@CaptainProx]

People are talking shit about him and criticize him more then ever before. They’re just jealous because they’re favorite guards who are probably Harden and Curry don’t compare

[@sg500]

this man got cosigned by jordan and bird the debate is offically over. congrats mr mvp.

[@dominicsnuffer5493]

MVP

[@albimra3169]

Bandwagons, and some random media saying he's overrated and statpad. Legends, former players, players, coach saying he's one of the best. Then it all clears the fact that those who hate westbrook doesn't know shit about basketball

[@Retro_complex]

MVP MVP MVP!!

[@fluff975]

it boggles my mind that people actually think this guy is having the greatest regular season ever. hes having an incredible season but greatest ever?!?!!? man the media has become so reactionary

[@Herosennin]

This isnt the media. These are all time greats that actually played the game or still play vs him. If they say its the greatest season ever just shut up and listen lol. Lets not act if you know more.

[@jasonrafaelgirardi6136]

Westbrook is a "Basket Ball God!" Period.

[@bigjohnson721]

if Westbrook can add a ring to his resume this season hes the GOAT easily

[@beirutboy6229]

I don't know why, I love watching westbrook, I like westbrook more then harden, but I don't know, I think harden is more fun to watch, I just don't know why, the best ballers I ever enjoyed watching, that was like a treat to watch, would be Iverson Jordan Kobe especially when 24 Durant when with okc Harden

[@Herosennin]

Beirut boy I agree Hardens nonchalant playstyle is awesome

[@noorkashif9107]

Simple, right when Westbrook steps on that court he brings the heat. I sense the amount of energy he brings, when I think of super hyped and energetic guys who are ready to go at it, Westbrook is the first guy that comes to mind. He's so fun to watch and its because his energy and overall aggressive personality.

[@mattdotts]

best player in the world not named lebron.

[@k-7201]

mattdotts Westbrook is better than Lebron this season tbh

[@mattdotts]

K - i agree. i think he is the best player in the world. that may be shocking for some to hear.

[@MrBernard113]

mattdotts He's having the better season but he's not better than Lebron.

[@WolfofWexlerStreet]

mattdotts Westbrook is the best player in the world right now

[@chedbeckford8067]

I can count 5 persons I would choose over Russell Westbrook. Lebron, Durant, Kahwi, Curry...maybe Harden. Russell is probably the most talented player on that list with the exception of Lebron but he's not a winner. I wouldn't want to play with him either. He feels the need to do everything. It comes up great in the stat sheet and that's what everybody is going crazy for.

[@timocruz9098]

& he's doesn't run out of energy

[@SeanRosati]

Facts!! 💯

[@battle-wornrobottauntproce1369]

If it was up to players, both Harden and Westbrook would have an MVP by now.

[@SRH81]

looking like rockets vs thunder in the first round...

[@ayhanceliktas3288]

3:33 did not expect that from dame

[@city2chris]

Have yall heard the Russell Westbrook song though? 😂 Listen to FOUL OUT by OpusDeiMusic #np on #SoundCloud soundcloud.com/opusdeimusic/foul-out

[@miked6193]

Respect to Harden for playing out of his mind this year, but I don't see how you can't give it to Russ at this point. Both guys are incredible players but Russ might be having the best individual season in NBA history.

[@AAA-yh7zh]

who is james harden?

[@crfraticelli9]

S/o KD for showing respect

[@gustavorodriguez9770]

Rockets fan, hey, isn't it messed up how Harden has been going for that MVP trophy for a while now and he's basically finished in 2nd the past couple of seasons behind Curry and NOW FINALLY that he has a really good shot of winning an MVP trophy, Russel Westbrook averages a triple double out of nowhere which has only occurred 1 other time in NBA history, like wtf Harden is cursed af. Honestly I hope that Westbrook gets that piece of metal so it fuels Harden for the playoffs.

[@shingulyas5064]

Both are good frends so shut up haters below😂😂😂😂

[@blazekaizer9000]

I am not trying to hate on my man Russ, cause he's been one my favorite players for years. however I have to adress this -Harden has very similar numbers, only lacking 2 rebounds and one assist away from a triple double. -Harden has more wins and has beaten OKC twyice this year. -Russ has some stat padding too. That all said, I believe that Russ must win it

[@tranformersaddiction]

Well, Houston and OKC are supposed to play in the first round against each other right? Just have them both face off....winner gets MVP. DONE.

[@alexmclennan4401]

tranformersaddiction that's crap because rockets have better players

[@christian8061]

Alex Boombeach exactly

[@christian8061]

How about whoever has the better preformance

[@Cheatrrr]

That's stupid because every person in the video that just said Russ should be MVP would pick The Rockets to beat them in a 7 game series. Houston has had what 5 season with Harden to build a team around him and find a coach to elivate his game. OKC didn't even have an off season to help build around Westbrook. KD and Ibaka left. Look at the nba stars right now that don't really have a team around them... Paul George, Anthony Davis, Carmelo Anthony, DeMarcus Cousins (w/ Kings). All those guys have a better team and better players around then then Westbrook and most of them wont even in the playoffs. With one if the worst teams in the league around him, playing out the west, Russel Westbrook's team has the 9th ranked record in the entire NBA. Even when Jordan kept losing in the 1st round of his career his team wasn't finishing the season above .500 The agrument has been over.

[@pepehdezhdez2473]

actually mvp is voted before play offs

[@ineegokay503]

if you think HardenMVP then you're against what the GOAT MJ thinks im out. peace.

[@Themessageislam1234]

4:47 @paulgeorge #shotsfired

[@123静水丨流深]

Right after Kobe left the game, you get a player averages a season of triple dub. Remember, right after MJ left, you get a hyped-up LBJ. It says something. I wonder what is gonna be when LBJ retires.

[@ced9938]

i'm a kobe fan for life i love westbrook image if he was lebron size he already getting to the rim at 6'3 210 make him 6'8 250 i promise u he will win a championship at least 3 or 4

[@haroldk9369]

"Me against the world" competitor. Has way more character than KD

[@kilionduke9010]

Westbrook should win for his historic season but since the okc was 6th seed and we havent seen an MVP in lower than 4th than Harden will surely win it

[@LukeylueTv]

Still wish KD never left... 😒

[@basketballgenesis8969]

There's nothing that James Harden can, that Russell Westbrook can't do

[@troyknox9687]

anyone knows the song @1:05??

[@Savage-ih4gj]

I think harden needs better people around him, that pushes him every single game. he should know better to up his rebounding stats, It's almost like he's fine being 2nd place.

Kyrie Irving could beat Russell Westbrook one on one. CJ Mccollum has good one on one skills too.

[@chedbeckford8067]

James Harden could beat Russell one-on-one too. People forget that Westbrook really doesn't have a great handle and isn't a great shooter

[@justin-rw5yf]

Russ MVP of the season. But lebron is still the best player in the world.

[@damianm3650]

michael sayin that cause russel signed with jordan

[@IamSSAINVINCIBLEx]

none of these guards could beat him in a 1 on 1???? lol Wade would work his ass, Irving would beat him, Harden, Rose, and maybe even Devin Booker.

[@putsombacononit760]

They are being forced to speak highly of him. They are being recorded and asked questions and they can't speak poorly or they'll have bad publicity on them and drama will start. Westbrook is a great player but he should never be called the greatest player in the world. As long as LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Khawhi Leonard, and Steph are in the league Westbrook is at the bottom.

[@m1r__]

"Steph" lmao FOH

I think that's an old clip of lebron lol

[@tiagoalcantara368]
