I’d highly recommend checking out Rajon Rondos best career passes, he was a key part in the Boston Celtics with KG, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce. Has Jason Williams type passes and recently retired. Won 2 rings
Pls react to luka doncic
The most athletic point guard of all time…his explosiveness is ridiculous. 2nd player to ever average a triple double for an entire season and he did it 4x
Ik man people now downplay him but forget the greatness he was his legacy will soon be remembered by everyone
Could argue John wall before injuries
Derrick rose definitely more athletic in his prime
@@FeedRevo casual
@@FeedRevorose jumped a bit higher and was a bit faster end to end. Plus his balance was phenomenal. But Westbrook is stronger in terms of raw strength and core, he’s much quicker laterally, his take off speed is a bit quicker while rose was more of a galloper and like to burst into his runs,m. I generally see them as near equal but russ was a bit more explosive and refined athleticism. U can tell he had to work to get that along with the genetics where as rose was pure raw athleticism.
Extra context for that #1 play
He had 50 points 16 assists and 10 rebounds that game
He broke the record for most triple doubles in a season
Eliminated the Nuggets from the playoffs
And won MVP
Thank you for breaking this down and giving the context 🙏
Context for the number 1 play is, that game he broke the single season triple double record in that game and topped of the night by hitting a game winner and knocking Denver out of playoff contention.
Thank you for the context, this is great! (Well not for Denver)
he averaged a triple double in a season and won a MVP that season. also OKCs all time leading scorer
A few seasons
Thanks for the information, appreciate it 🙏
All time leader in triple doubles and future hall of famer Russell Westbrook was a fun player to watch growing up
now that hes old hes trash to watch. He plays like a dummy.
Still is Iate elementary school when he got drafted I’m 25 now
Him, Harden, and KD on the same team as young players before their prime was something to see
8:12 Did you guys even notice he threw the ball off the defenders back as the in bounce passer then hit the buzzer beater?
Bump.
This was arguably the best play, and they missed it. Still one of my favourites.
OMG no I didn’t realise it came off of his back! Thank you for posting this and giving me a nudge. That’s insane!
FINALLYYYYYYYYY , the 🐐
Y’all have to watch the kd/Westbrook documentary they were really a threat to the nba and it is a great story
He played for OKC from 2008 to 2019 won an MVP in 2016 they made a few finals in 2012 but loss then played in Houston for a year and then Washington for a year then the Lakers and then got traded to the clippers at the deadline and is still there right now he has 9 All Stars and 9 All NBAs
The reason the last clip was number 1 was because, that same game Westbrook broke the record for most triples doubles in a single season, also that shot knocked Denver out of a playoff spot.
I live in OKC and watching highlights of Westbrook, Durant, and Ibaka all on the floor at the same time gives me warm fuzzy nostalgia. That team was something truly special but never managed to achieve up to their potential. One of the most fun to watch sports teams I've ever seen, and Westbrook was the heart of that.
Love this!
Legendary player. Westbrook has done things that possibly won't be replicated! Westbrook is a fucking thing of myths he's like a mythical creature! Just flat out unbelievable!
Happy you guys did russ. Definitely the most angry dunker. I love how emotional he gets.
I’ve only ever been to one basketball game. It was Kobe’s second to last game ever in OKC, and when I say Russ had a whole different gear than everybody else, I mean he may have had 2 more gears. TV doesn’t do justice how fast he actually is on the court. Russ’ athleticism is probably one of the best all time.
Russ is known for being ultra fast and probably the most athletic pg ever
probably one of the most aggressive dunkers of all time... guy really had beef with the rim
Theres a difference between dunking on a guy thats over 7 foot tall and completely jumping over a guy 7 foot tall like Vince Carter did
Dude would have been elite out wide on a soccer pitch, so much speed, strength and athleticism. Best point guard in the league for multiple years.
My favorite player of all time i know the chances arent great but i wanna see him get a ring
I've never dunked on someone on a 10 foot hoop, but have dunked on hundreds of people on an 8 foot hoop with 2 other people watching and it's one of the greatest feelings in the world. He flexes and screams after his dunks because the adrenaline after dunking over a 7 foot center, with tens of thousands of people screaming, is too hard to contain.
Fact about the number 1 clip is that during that game he breaks the record for most triple doubles in a season and then ends the game with that buzzer beater. I’ll always remember that game and that season. Eventually every away team was rooting for Russell to get closer to beating the triple double record.
A player like Westbrook deserves a bigger compilation than 30 plays honestly he was my favorite player growing up after Kobe. Just fierce tenacity and super athletic, wish he shined in the lakers 😢
These highlights make it seem like Westbrook is a big dunker. I've never thought of him as that, he often goes whole games without any dunk. But when he goes for that rim, he goes all out for it
You aint watch okc russ
That through the legs from the other side of the court is the most ridiculous pass ive ever seen. Prime Russ was just unbelievable
FINALLY WESTBROOK IS MY FAVORITE PLAYER ALL TIME!!!!! and grew up in the Kobe era 💯💯💯💯
Westbrook will forever be one of the most underrated players in my opinion. His lack of championship runs has hindered the attention he deserves on individual talent. His prime was such an honor to watch
My favorite player of all time, as an OKC fan it was a blessing to watch him during his prime
🔥🔥
this is actually an old highlight tape from a few years ago.. hes done some amazing things since then. waiting on the official update
The part I love about Russ is how much emotion he puts in to the game.
💯
Unfortunately, he didn't "share" the emotion with his teammates.
Love Russell on and off the court.
Has one mvp and no championships but is the triple double king at the point guard position. Very athletic but nowadays he’s not the same player and his play has never really lead to wins.
That last place was to average a triple double in a season since Oscar Robertson, and it gave him 50 that game and it knocked the opposing team, the Nuggets, out of playoff contention. One of the best MVP seasons in recent memory
*last play
When you mentioned the Vince Carter dunk in the Olympics, you forgot (or weren't aware of) one other detail... Vince jumped OVER the guy. Not just dunked over him, but literally his entire body went over the defender's head.
Number 1 was the day he beat the all time triple double record and then hit the game winner at the end of the game
I’m from OKC originally and I gotta say. The guy stayed loyal to that community when Kevin Durant left and he completely held the community together. Love the guy no matter how many haters he may have. Gives his heart every play!
I was at that Nuggets game that he dropped 50 on us and hit the game winner. Great game.
Criminal that the masked coast-to-coast dunk wasn't in here
He was once known as one of the most loyal players but eventually he has started bouncing around a few different teams
"it looks like it was sped up" no my friend that's just how explosive Westbrook was at one point a true triple double king Russell Westbrook holds the record for the most NBA career regular season triple doubles with 198, and is the only player to average a triple-double over four different seasons.
Russ actually played in okc for most of his career but after okc he played for houston in the 2019-20 from there he went to the washington wizards and then to the lakers for the 2021-22 and half of the 2022-23 season and then got traded to the clippers in the other half and to this day still plays for the clippers with james harden paul george and kawhi leonard
OKC had him, KD, and Harden at one point. They were all pretty young at the time. If that team would've stayed together who knows how good they could've been.
BEST VIDEO EVER
🔥🔥🔥
You should watch his best dunks, amazing and so powerfully athletic at his peak
Gotta watch his 20 20 20 game highlights
Russ went to high school with my nephew and he was already a phenom at 15. What an explosive athlete. Would probably have been elite at any sport.
Thanks awesome, love this Rich!
Westbrook has played on several teams now but was by far at his peak on the Thunder
You have to do the history of james harden, KD and Westbrook who were all on the same team as a young big three
You should do John Wall next him and Russell i feel are who made guards so athletic today
Russel Westbrook won a mvp title with the thunder but that team is known as one of the biggest big three bust of all time since they never made it far in the postseason with Russ kd, James harden, and don’t quote me but I think they had Chris Paul too. He went to the rockets in I think was 2017 with James harden and cp3 and made a conference title series and got bounced. In 2020 or 2021 he left to the lakers with lebron and they got bounced by the nuggets last year in the conference championship game. He’s now on the clippers and is coming off bench and in prime position to win sixth man of the year as he’s getting better every year. That team is scorching hot with him, James harden, kawai, and Paul George who I forgot at some point was also on that thunder team. They are expected to make a deep postseason push. He would be regarded as the 1st or second best point guard ever but lack of championships and even conference championships are holding him back from being one of the best ever.
Check out some Manu Ginobili highlights if you liked that nutmeg pass
Best missed dunks would be a great video to watch!
We’ll have a look for a video on this 👍
@@DNReacts ‘NBA Best Plays That Didn’t Count’ cheers lads 🍻
If Russ could have shot better from the outside, he'd be one of the best. But he was always exciting, and gave his all. I was happy when he played for the Lakers, even when he wasn't in his prime.
I think he's the perhaps the most physically gifted to play point guard. I also think he's a head case that will never win a title. The enmity between him and Kevin Durant was bad for a little while.
yeah 42 triple doubles is the most in a season by a player ever. Westbrook won MVP that year.
The Thunder used to be the Supersonics. The supersonics won a finals a long time ago tho
4 years in a row averaging a triple double
React to the raiders chargers game
lol
Westbrook has yet to win a championship (the Thunder of those years is one of the big recent disappointment). He played for five teams but there's a reason why the video only showed clips from when he was with the Thunder: he was a very athletic player, and when his physical abilities started to slip, he really had a lot of trouble adjusting, which is why the second half of his career has been unremarkable.
Cam Newton College Highlights
Gotta do David Robinson ❤🎉
PRIME WESTBROOK is GODLIKE ... he averaged TRIPLE DOUBLE for 3 seasons, one of which he won MVP ... im not sure but i think he is the #1 player in the history of NBA in terms of triple doubles ...
12:40 The NBA would look so much different if Russ, KD and Harden had beat the Warriors with a younger steph, klay, and draymond back then.
For the first couple seasons they also had James Harden but they really didn’t win anything because of Lebron, and then Harden left. Then KD, and Westbrook played the Warriors, and the Thunder blew a 3-1 lead, and KD left to the Warriors the next offseason
It’s bittersweet because that’s when Westbrook came into his own when his teammates left but at the same time he couldn’t win in the postseason by himself
All the highlights of Westbrook would be so good because of how athletic and how fast he is. But then it’s highlights. The problem is, he is so fast that oftentimes he loses control of the ball or his body. On top of the fact that his shot selection, coupled with his below average jump shot, is not always optimal.
I mean, you don’t have to be a basketball fan to decipher that he is not as skilled as some other prominent point guards such as Kyrie Irving, Damian Lillard, Ja Morant, etc. What he has is supreme athleticism that he can out jump or out run other players.
You guys gitta do the russ mvp mixtape. He avg a triple double for 4 of 5 seasons
Reacting to Derrick Rose would be a good one, similar freak athlete. Career ruined by injuries though.
OR the original LeBron James, Grant Hill.
You gotta watch Larry bird and magic Johnson a courtship of rivals though. We need more Larry bird lmao
More Doctor J.
I really wish you guys would watch videos with more context on their story and career narrative instead of simple highlights, you're really missing what makes Westbrook a hall of famer level talent
Good point
The thunder have been to the finals but havent won one
Kevin Durant, James harden and Russell Westbrook all played together in Oklahoma city for a number of years, but they have nothing to show for it they never won when it mattered.
One of the greatest to never win it I'm glad you're going down this path of players that were great like really damn great but they just couldn't win a ship its sad seeing such great players and such great teams coming up just shy same thing with Carmelo
OKC had Durant, Westbrook, Harden on the same team at one point in time, but sadly they were not able to get over the hump of Lebron James and the Miami Heat when they did make it to the finals.
D ROSE NEXT
Okc once had harden coming off the bench Russ & Kd. 3 Soon to be MVPs and went to finals to lost to Lebron and Dwade Heat. The last time Russ and KD played they were up 3-1 against the (73-9) warriors in the WCF and gave it up and lost. But ironically the warriors ended up blowing 3-1 against the cavs in the finals 😂
Then Kd leaves Russ to go to the warriors and Russ would average a triple double for I think 3 season before he was traded to multiple teams. You gotta respect Russ though, he plays at 110% effort every second he’s on that floor
You guys should react to Luka Doncic
how can anyone watch this and tell me westbrook is overrated 😂😂😂 these plays giving me chills
Sadly they never won a ring on the Thunder they even had James Harden
Okc made it to a finals with Westbrook Durant ibaka and James harden but it was against the heat with Lebron so the heat won but this okc team could have done so much more with the talent they had, they were just too young and harden left to Huston first
Kevin Durant next
czcams.com/video/1R9oZbo9z-Q/video.htmlsi=en95ZB2bYppihGJE
Why haven't y'all reacted to Luka
..."ya'll "...lol
Russ is so disrespected. He’s slowed down in his older age but at his peak he was incredible. Averaged a triple double 4 times in a 5 season span after no one had done it once since the 1960s. He was never a great shooter and that’s been exposed since he’s started to slow down(he’s 35 now). He’s played for a bunch of teams now but most known for his days in OKC. Dude used to just assault the rim
Also that number 1 play: that game winner capped off a 50 point triple double and solidified the first season that he averaged the triple double.
You mean Russell Westbrick
You guys asked if he has any championships or postseason success and the answer is no LMFAO.
He went to the finals with KD as a young player in 2012 and other than that one year he has always shrank in the playoffs and in the last 5ish years he became one of the NBA’s most inefficient players
he's always been one of the most inefficient nba players
One of the richest, most selfish players ever.
Westbrook is arguable the richest, most selfish player ever. He never won anything.
This is really sad to see even as a celtics fan because thunder at one point was legit probably one of the strongest teams in the NBA Durant, Westbrook, Harden, ibaka on paper but the motherfukers just couldn't win a ship even when harden left and Paul George joined the roster they were still stacked but still couldn't make it
