Russell took the fourth-youngest team in the NBA, replete with rookies, newcomers, and no second star player as a starter, and took them this far. Harden took the best-shooting team in the NBA, replete with seasoned veterans, two Sixth Man of the Year candidates (Sweet Lou and Eric Gordon), a Defensive Player of the Year candidate (Beverley), and while few thought the Rockets would make such a drastic turnaround from last season (a feat in itself, still, it became very obvious very soon that Rockets were one of the NBA's top teams. I love my dude Harden, and he gave a noteworthy season himself. But my dude Russ did more with less. He's the true MVP. Russ was so valuable, the man couldn't even afford to sit down just to rest. The team couldn't afford to have him not play for a single minute. And, boy, did he try. One hell of a try. Russell's triple-doubles became the benchmark for if the team won or lost. That's not stats-padding. That's Russell Westbrook, proving that he's the MVP.
SuperGamer87 oladipo is considered a viable second star player, and you can't say harden took "the best shooting team in the NBA" because they weren't. The warriors were, he was the reason then BECAME the best shooting team in the NBA
I feel so sorry for this man.. he's literally by himself out there. The only one who scores consistently, the only one who can handle the ball, the only one carrying the team night in and night out. If dragging his bum ass team to the playoffs while averaging a triple double isn't MVP worthy, I don't know what is. #WestbrookMVP
Uncle Sterling Jebediah Archer Freeman the Fourth ,the team is literally one of the youngest teams in the nba ,they only got like 3 or 4 vets,but basically this season for okc is all about rw and his pace for hia historic season after kd left ,next year its all rebuilding,yall boys better watch out cause we gone see a different team💯🙄
If he can carry a lottery team to a western conference 6 seed, the season after losing one of the greatest scorers of all time, and average a 31 point triple double while doing so, I think thats MVP worthy. #Russ
What a year he had. NBA won't be the same without Brodie. Even as a Warriors fan, it hurt me to have to watch him helplessly chuck up shot after shot in the 4th. His teammates cannot hit shots to save their lives (or season). #Respek #MVP
The best season of single NBA player ... More clutch game, more action, more great move and pass.. History season never ever be broken!!! Triple double season with a perfect ending...
AD GOAT #betterthankat 2018 NBA CHAMPION Westbrook is more talented than Harden... Russ is the better player bro and the MVP. Harden can't score like Russell.. Harden can't rebound like Russell. Can't defend like Russell. Harden has the better team right now, that's all. Westbrook had better FG% and 3P%! Less turnovers! Westbrook: +12 Harden: -3 Plus/Minus for the series.
This is easily the best season any MVP has ever had when you take in consideration the Numbers he put up,all the records broke,clutch shots and storyline he had that year
Thomas Elliott 47 points 34 shots 44%. by 3rd quarter 59% shooting and over 30 points. basically lost cuz his bench is trash and he is tired come 4th quarter
Ballin Too I'm dead serious. how can someone's team get better if they are not getting touches. I would understand if Westbrook had already tried but it didn't work out but he figures out he had teammates way too late into the season (playoffs really?). He claims " I don't give a fuck about the line" then brags about scoring 40 on Lou Williams. I'm just tired of everyone feeling sorry for this guy. He brought this upon himself and had a first round exit. And what annoys me the most is people actually thought this team had a chance round one. Absurd!
I remember in the beginning of that season when everyone was talking shit about him not being a clutch player, so all season he just took over clutch moments that shit made me laugh spitefully
I feel bad that Westbrook had to score half the points every game and whenever he went to the bench they would lose the lead. Didn't have enough weapons.
We are all gonna look back at this man 10-15 years from now and be amazed at how athletic explosive heart driven and savage this man wise a one man show can't even take a rest basically plays the whole game #MVP
Mr.Triple double did amazing this year, he made history in the making this year and if that doesn't win MVP idk what does. Rest now brother and come back stronger next year with some new players that can probably change the thunder flow for the better
Russell Westbrook is no doubt the best PG in the league ! He carried OKC to the playoffs , if Westbrook wasn't there , OKC wouldn't even make the playoffs . He is easily MVP as well . But I think if OKC gets a playmaker next season they may have a shot for a final . Russ just needs some help scoring cause he's been hustling all season long !!! 💯💯🤘🔥🙏🙏 #NextSeason 💯
He was playing with pure fire in his heart fueled by the rage and betrayal from his former teammates Kevin Durant. He was playing with something prove that he didn’t need KD..well you did it Russ well done MVP 💯🔥
This guy is one of the most sensational players the NBA has had during the last few years.....he is really a MONSTER on the court.....deserves to win a championship with a better assembled team
I didn't watch much Westbrook during his prime. My introduction to him is with the Lakers, so I assumed he was always a liability - but good lord was I wrong. If he can turn it up to this notch, the Lakers can be unstoppable. He used to do things I've never seen before.
The pass at 8:08 is a perfect example of the reason why they let him get the rebounds (also to help with triple dubs ofc). To make quick plays and run it down the floor instead of having to have it passed to him.
So sad. Westbrook NEEDS SHOOTERS!!!!! PRONTO MAN!!! What a waste of a UNBELIEVABLE season. Russ proved in this series why he's the MVP. Dude LITERALLY was on the bench for only 6 minutes, and OKC coughs up the lead. MVP!!!
What a historic season
Jason Terance insane, my favorite player
czcams.com/video/LV4snPrEb3M/video.html westbrook beast!
I don't care if you are a fan or not, this man is a MONSTER!

Very scary dude to guard

Sad
@Franklin Bowen double bots 🤣
Sticking with this man through his failures and 2-19 nights forever
Russell took the fourth-youngest team in the NBA, replete with rookies, newcomers, and no second star player as a starter, and took them this far.

SuperGamer87 ik it's called most valuable player not player with the best team
#MVP
SuperGamer87 amazing how you wrote that! One thing more noteable is, that Andre Roberson is a better candidate for the DPoY Award than Patrick
SuperGamer87 oladipo is considered a viable second star player, and you can't say harden took "the best shooting team in the NBA" because they weren't. The warriors were, he was the reason then BECAME the best shooting team in the NBA
"Did more with less" He had 8 less wins. ..

Thanks man! I appreciate it
Russell Westbrook ur r my favorite player Of all time
I feel so sorry for this man.. he's literally by himself out there. The only one who scores consistently, the only one who can handle the ball, the only one carrying the team night in and night out.

His team is good, he just plays hero ball the entire game and the team never gets into a rhythm. His fourth quarter assists prove that.
Entertainment Attorney thank yoi
Entertainment Attorney okc was -50 when Russ was on the bench. Houstons bench outscored okc bench 133 to 234...101 points in juat 5 games
true

Spectacular season. Even if Westbrook doesn't win MVP, at least he's the MVP of postgame interviews 😋😂
why does every reply 2 they own comment wit a dot?
get your thirsty ass off my fucking nba channel bitch.
Who is this b*tch..? you're talking about Westbrook here
Certified Finest westbrook is mvp so definitely!!!
Romeo Gonzalez he deleted the comment but he replied 2 his own comment like this

Curry Can people dont understand how fantastic westbrook is playing right now
Curry Can Finally a respectable Warriors fan who dont claim everyone on their team is the MVP #RESPECT u is a good fan
Curry Can respect 💪✊️✌️
This was better than Curry last year in the regular season tbh.
You good Curry fans slowly restoring my faith in humanity
The best season of single NBA player ...
More clutch game, more action, more great move and pass..
History season never ever be broken!!!
Triple double season with a perfect ending...
This guy's a straight monster. Warrior fan, but I got nothing but respect for Westbrook and what he did this year. Deserves to be MVP. Respect ✊
Thank you to my favourite player for an unbelievable, historic season. Never missed a single minute you were on the floor Brodie ❤️ #MVP
Brian Scalabrine you're the real MVP

I miss this Russell Westbrook. It's so underrated how good he plays in his 2016 MVP season.
*2017 mvp season
I Can't say anything about this guy but Respect.
This is easily the best season any MVP has ever had when you take in consideration the Numbers he put up,all the records broke,clutch shots and storyline he had that year
100%
I agree
Miss this kind of westbrook:(
The Russ I'll always remember
this might be the best single season highlight reel for any player in NBA history
Oh it is for sure
the only GOAT who doesn't need a ring
Michael Jack's son Allen Iverson?🤔
luis cortes shhhhhhhh
Michael Jack's son it's true
Michael Jack's son boss Alen iverson got 1 ring but not many people talk about him now same thing will happen to Russel westbrick
Michael Jack's son and yes I meant to say 'brick'
"OKC front office better come in clutch this off season. Time to build around the peoples MVP. #Brodie4MVP #WestbrookHad40Beverly" - Evil Westbrook
lol 40 on 36 shots
Thomas Elliott 47 points 34 shots 44%. by 3rd quarter 59% shooting and over 30 points. basically lost cuz his bench is trash and he is tired come 4th quarter
Ballin Too lololol that bench is trash because of Westbrook all the ballhogging in the regular season prevented his team from gaining any confidence
Thomas Elliott So it's russ ball hogging fault why his bench got outscored by 101 points? you my friend is a Colin cowherd tool
Ballin Too I'm dead serious. how can someone's team get better if they are not getting touches. I would understand if Westbrook had already tried but it didn't work out but he figures out he had teammates way too late into the season (playoffs really?). He claims " I don't give a fuck about the line" then brags about scoring 40 on Lou Williams. I'm just tired of everyone feeling sorry for this guy.

congratulation to Russ good season mr triple double come back Stronger next season🏀😈🏆
And with some better pieces, too. They've got good pieces, and youth got the best of them this season. But OKC could use a true second star player.
Blake griffen is a free agent after this season i hope he goes to OKC
Tray Ballin Blake a soft ass nigga Russ would treat that nigga like a role player 😂
GLO • ENT. 😂😂 I just hope Russ gets a other star player with him somebody like melo pg13
PG would be the most ideal addition
Blake would be cool too, but idk if that'd put them over the hump since they already got bigs.
The NBA season I never forget!! The historic season..
Thank you Russell Westbrook...
As a OKC fan i look at this video and cry😭
Russell Westbrook was easily the National Basketball Association’s most valuable player this year just absolutely dominate!
Always good to remember how good he is used to be those days
Back when he was still a monster. Man i miss old russ
I wish he can play like this now in L.A to shut up the haters
this man is gonna be extremely dangerous next year especially since his 3pt is getting better and better. hope the rest of the team pick it up abit
Bro idk if a point guard ever carried they team like this man in this season like wtf got into him he was a demon in this season
One of the greatest individual seasons of all time
Thanks for the great season 👏🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻 MVP
arguably westbrook is at it's best when there's no other superstar on the team . Just him is the best
Watched and kept rewinding every play to watch it again and again. Just insane!
I can say i went to one of his historic triple doubles here in the garden! 1 assist shy of triple double in first half insane! MVP
MVP
Holy crap, what an insane collection of plays, man is volcano! What a season!
Thank you Westbrook for giving us some of the best basketball, we'll ever see. Video game like stats. Insane
I remember in the beginning of that season when everyone was talking shit about him not being a clutch player, so all season he just took over clutch moments that shit made me laugh spitefully
I feel bad that Westbrook had to score half the points every game and whenever he went to the bench they would lose the lead. Didn't have enough weapons.
Great vid

:((
:(
i’m back to relive this amazing season
MVP, outplayed Harden the entire series and season
Russell is the best ! What he did this season amazing
Appreciate Greatness
IF this man doesn't win MVP man I swear I will get so mad. And I'm sure a lot of people will.
Westbrook was playing MyCareer this season no cap
So thankful to had the opportunity to watch nearly every game of him via NBA League Pass from Germany :)
It was a great joy watching every single one of his games this year. Russell for #MVP
LIKE IF HE IS GOING TO BE THE MVP
u were saying
these James Harden fan girls don't know that
WHO is from German and loves Westbrook and OKC too????
We are all gonna look back at this man 10-15 years from now and be amazed at how athletic explosive heart driven and savage this man wise a one man show can't even take a rest basically plays the whole game #MVP
Lots of clutch shots from 3 point line, damn 🔥
Still going to be MVP of the season. We'll see the 🐐 back next year with more shooters!
X'O Host MJ is coming back next season?
Gotta be one of the most clutch seasons of all time
Nice video bro!
With Russ through the ups and downs, a legend in my book 💯
This video is a perfect explanation to why Russ is the MVP #Goatbrook
Mr.Triple double did amazing this year, he made history in the making this year and if that doesn't win MVP idk what does. Rest now brother and come back stronger next year with some new players that can probably change the thunder flow for the better

Me, rockets fan, watching 16-17 version of Westbrook, crying
anyone here in 2019!!!!???
me bro, now that he's on the rockets its not the same smh :(
I just had to make a edit with this clips amazing dude
Best thing I've seen
Russell Westbrook is no doubt the best PG in the league ! He carried OKC to the playoffs , if Westbrook wasn't there , OKC wouldn't even make the playoffs . He is easily MVP as well . But I think if OKC gets a playmaker next season they may have a shot for a final . Russ just needs some help scoring cause he's been hustling all season long !!! 💯💯🤘🔥🙏🙏 #NextSeason 💯
This Russ is gonna be back with an even bigger chip on his shoulder this year can't wait
watching this will get me fired up in the morning
2017 Russ was a different typa player fr
fr kids gonna be looking back at this footage in amazement
Looking back at this just too see Westbrook in his prime. Cause Westbrook turned to Westbrick in 2021
y'all can't hate on this
8:54 this is one of the most goat like play I’ve ever seen and this sums up what he did for his team last season! A true legend!
He was playing with pure fire in his heart fueled by the rage and betrayal from his former teammates Kevin Durant. He was playing with something prove that he didn’t need KD..well you did it Russ well done MVP 💯🔥
I’m here 2024 Russ
We need him on the Lakers man 😭
words will never describe how much i miss him.
Just speechless how amazing he was all season
he abused the jazz
Joseph Tedros I wish he did that this year too😕
James Harden's face at 5:00 😂😂😂 LMAO
Lmao it looked like he was about to play some D but then caught himself quickly
This guy is one of the most sensational players the NBA has had during the last few years.....he is really a MONSTER on the court.....deserves to win a championship with a better assembled team
Had to come back to remind myself how great he was
At least he comes home with the MVP trophy
michael parks true and I bet next year Is gonna be our year especially if we get Blake griffin which I hope
michael parks it hasn't been announced yet
impressionante o que essa cara faz, e com tanta velocidade, ele tem uma explosão chocante, é quase inacreditável.. vai vira lenda!
Favorite player of the NBA! Respect from Holland.
I didn't watch much Westbrook during his prime. My introduction to him is with the Lakers, so I assumed he was always a liability - but good lord was I wrong. If he can turn it up to this notch, the Lakers can be unstoppable. He used to do things I've never seen before.
Father time is undefeated. Well almost, bron giving him a good run 😂
Incredible
Guys can we also appreciate the fact that Steven Adams was always ready for the feed and able to convert it
For real SA is super super underrated
What a perfect ending to a historic day!
He is the real MVP, Harden is just a shaqtin mvp
That Denver game winner will always send chills down my spine. All the things that factored into that shot 😭
The pass at 8:08 is a perfect example of the reason why they let him get the rebounds (also to help with triple dubs ofc). To make quick plays and run it down the floor instead of having to have it passed to him.
now imagine it with Paul George ! lets Go okc !
So sad. Westbrook NEEDS SHOOTERS!!!!! PRONTO MAN!!! What a waste of a UNBELIEVABLE season. Russ proved in this series why he's the MVP. Dude LITERALLY was on the bench for only 6 minutes, and OKC coughs up the lead. MVP!!!
Very explosive.
