Russell Westbook knows the Lebron James System very well. The only problem is, he plays the Lebron James in that system.
😂😂😂
Ayo😭😭
How is that a problem lol? Three stars is always better than two stars no matter how you put it
@@dakcantreadcoverage5780 Not really. There usually isnt enough ball for 3 all stars. Basically only 2 get to score and one has to be the assist person that takes some double teams for the others. If they all have the ego then it gets pretty messy.
U made my day. 😂
A Russell Westbrook vs kd reunion in the finals would be legendary
I doubt it, most of fans don't care about Superteams matching up in the finals.
Yea they do lol. Everyone wants this to happen.
@@mscooldeadly I don’t know if I would call the lakers a super team but who tf wouldn’t want to see two “superteams” meet up in the finals the rest of the playoffs might not be all that but the finals would be dope 😂
And Lebron vs Kyrie feud reunion
@@mscooldeadly no one cared about suns and bucks
This aged like a raw 🥚🍳
He's now getting benched lol
Now no playoffs
Plus nets got swept...these so called experts sucks at predictions lol
I literally came back to just see these ridiculous analysts talk so highly about the Lakers with Westbrook to win the championship and can co-exist and the Nets has the best odds to win the title
Me too 🤣🤣🤣
Same 🤣🤣🤣
They were soooo close what with Lakers not making the play in even and Nets only team swept in the first round. But they just kept picking teams and one of their ten or fifteen picks will work out...
They call SAS in like he a active duty soldier
SAS would probably get caught by a claymore
Lol I’m sure he was still on vacation, but just decided to come back cuz of the trade
Well we are certainly not tuning in to hear what Perkins has to say
The only time the broad is the boss is when he's firing on all cylinders I mean his team we saw what happened when he simply is missing a d can't even scratch a game out against the Phoenix Suns! Can't even scratch out a single game doesn't play well done and scored 30 points he's not the guy like that he's excellent of course excellent but he is not your number one option in crunch time or in any kind of high-level situation he's like a 1/2
So if LeBron wins a ring with this team they'll still say LeBron is better than MJ? They'll still say that MJ have more help they'll still say LeBron makes his teammates better even though Michael Jordan have the same teammates 3 Petes
The real question is which big three is less injury prone?
Westbrook is less injury prone
Neither of them can stay healthy.
ads not even injury prone i don’t like the things the media does this year was his first playoff game missed
@@elijahsmith5315 I mean it's easy not to miss playoff games if you rarely play more than 5
AD is injury prone, Lebron got back but needs more time, Russ is the healthiest guy I know, Kyrie Harden and KD all have injury concerns the last few years so I'd go with the Lakers being healthy
Wow it's actually incredible how legit every argument they made turned out to be wrong
For real!
It's not incredible. SAS is a basketball ignoramus. Talking heads.
And they're never going to go back over it to show how wrong they were.
@@dearshomy never. It's wild how much they just follow the name values. Kyrie. Westbrook. Harden. Whoever. They're just know nothing frauds faking it. It's blatant.
I'm so looking forward to see this implode, AD will be injury prone, LeBron will have to carry the team and Russ will overplay and clash with LeBron and they will fall apart.
LOVE YOUR COMMENT.. THINK THE SAME WAY... PLUS 3 OF THE BIGGEST RICHEST EGOMANIACS EACH MAKING OVER 40 MILLON DOLLARS.. THAT POOR 5TH PLAYES ONLY MAKES 5 MILLON DOLLARS...SUBS THAT PROBABLY ONLY MAKE LIKE HALF MILLON DOLLARS AND GETTING YELL FOR NOT SCORING.,,
Facts
I love how the comment with the least amount of likes is the one that's spot on. Shows the basketball IQ of these fans.
Who couldn't see this disaster coming?
@@brianchapman8531 I know beacuse the comment section is full of Bronsexuals who still hold the fake hope Lakers will come good and phoney goat will win another ring .
This aged like wine.
Can't teach an old dog new tricks russ still playin like russ lol
I find it hard to believe Perkins played in the league sometimes with his takes.
Big Facts!!!
I believe he's really off a Perc when he make takes like this. Glad Jalen Rose called him out for his ridiculous comments.
he was horrible anyways he was carried to every championship he won
He was solely a tough guy in the league.
Perkins? I find it hard that Paul Pierce is an NBA Legend.
Lebron's ex decided to team up with a guy who's trying to take his throne; KD. Now KD's ex is teaming up with Lebron.... this can be an MTV show tbh
That’s good Kyrie lol 😂
Trading Spouses. LePr0n.
Foreal though 😁😁😁😁
"They're going to get it done" That aged well. lol
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
"Anthony Davis healthy is still the best Big in the game today"
Giannis: Hold my non-super team ring
😆
Injuries happened alot this year
I think giannis us better than Ad but he got his ring due to injuries of other teams
@@armando7354 the way I see it, injuries are part of the game. So saying a player won because others got injured is highest form of disrespect. Fact of the matter is Giannis also got injured and came back a week later. So instead of putting people down, it would be nice to give credit where credit is due.
@@RagingTruenoX to generalized. Yes, injuries happen. This season though, the injuries among stars and superstars has been significantly higher than ever before.
It's not disrespectful. The Bucks would have NEVER beaten a healthy Nets team. In fact, even with TWO superstars injured, the Nets lost by just 2 inches.
(KD stepping on the three point line, which secured overtime instead of the win)
"Lebron is willing to take a backseat" - Perkins
"wait, what?" - Lebron
He will take a back seat . He's almost 37 .. that's why westbrook is on the team
Lol
@@jleww8959 lebrons still the best player on that team and arguably in the world
@@martinq2370 there is no argument for Bron being better than Kd, Steph, or Giannis rn
@@martinq2370 yea but now he can fall back and score in spurts still collect a easy 20-25
I know Perkins did not just say LeBron is willing to be a third option guy lmfao
When has Lebron been a third option ever not even a rookie Lebron would be a third option
He is, do not see that Bron puts an emphasis on facilitating and getting AD his buckets? He doesn’t wanna carry the team with scoring anymore. Idk about 3rd option, but he doesn’t wanna be the 1st option at age 36
How dumb can you be? You really think LeBron has a problem being the 3rd guy? He has already taken a backseat to AD and obviously wanted Westbrook to come to the Lakers knowing what his play style is….. he clearly only cares about winning a ring and will easily defer to Westbrook and AD. Ya’ll gotta stop insulting Perkins for ya’ll not knowing basketball.
Lebron will most likely say something to the fact that he'll play 3rd option.
But, LBJ, if need be, will take over when Westbrook or AD becomes stagnant, ESPECIALLY in the half court.
LBJ as 3rd option isn't bad when he is the REAL Floor General AND the distribution gap between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd option offensively.
@@sdski223 he does have problem with it . Yes lebron might now want to score as much but you bet your bottom dollar he wants to be the one with the ball making all the plays . That's also ball hogging
"Anthony Davis is still the best big in the game"
Giannis Antetokounmpo has entered the chat.
can he shoot jumpers and threes like AD? AD can dominate the paint plus AD is an All-Defensive 1st team 2 seasons ago
Prisoners of the moment as usual smh
@@mryan_tv AD is amazing. To pretend like Giannis isn't dominant is a bit crazy though.
@@Black____ of the moment as in the last 3 years? Giannis was unanimous all NBA first team and then MVP the 2 years before. For the last 4 years the man has been dominant and he's also really durable. Let's not forget he's the only guy to win a championship without another HOF'er in recent memory
@@ryanrobinson6022 what I'm trying to say is AD can do what Giannis can do but he can do more than Giannis so he is the better player when healthy
I love coming back to videos like this hahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lakers offense isn't going to be stagnant after LeBron James goes to the bench I can guarantee you that.
Exactly and he can rest in playoffs dude look tired asf 😂ik he was doe they act like he still 25 the man finna be 36 or 37
there's going to be no spacing
Even if it's not stagnant, they still need spacing and they just traded 2 of their shooters.
@@urbaindelva7869 traded 1 shooter. Kuzma hasn’t been a shooter since 2018
Huh yeah lebronna needs some Pine Ride... HE needs too practice his EXIT PARADE
Listen I'm not saying Russ doesn't help this team, but the fit is indeed questionable. Russ is my fav player all time but his shot selection and decision making are not great. Not to mention that spacing is a REAL problem. One of those three is going to have to start hitting from outside on an elite level regularly and that's kinda of a tall task for these three.
Lebron gonna turn into the 40 year old guy at the gym who sits in the corner and hits threes.
It’s a fit problem for sure but it’s fixable. You have to add two shooters. One starter and one off the bench. Bron and AD have to as efficient if not more efficient than ever. The amount of pressure this team will put on the rim is undeniable but they gotta make something midrange to make it matter. It’s not the three as much as the midrange game
Lebron's leadership will help clean up some of Russ flaws.
Shidd AD play the 4 and knock down shots. He don’t gotta sit in the paint , and with Russ , we can see some high flying like Bron n Wade
Facts i see no lies here carry on my friends
If only the Lakers could undo this trade...
THIS TRULY NEVER EVER GETS OLD!.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
KP said when ad is healthy he’s the best big rn like giannis didn’t drop 50 and win finals mvp 2 weeks ago
people don't really look at giannis as a big. He's like a wing hybrid
Id take javale mcgee over KP and i aint even cappin.
You want Giannis guarding Embiid or Jokic? Hes not a big man. Hes a point forward who's 6'11. Huge difference. That's like trying to say KD is a big man because he is 7 feet.
If you think Lebron isnt a big then Giannis isnt a big either
@Davit M no AD doesn’t impact the game more lol. Put AD on the bucks and they don’t win against just KD and the Nets. Polished? Like pretty? Giannis’s game is less pretty but Giannis is more dominant. What should be scary is he is getting better at free throws and that mid range fadeaway seems to be sticking.
AD’s game is more polished but overall he doesn’t beat Giannis.
AD is very promising but he needs to hit the weight room and be able to bring up the ball on his own, shake and bake, before he earns all this praise y’all are throwing at him.
Giannis deserves it because I’ve never seen someone make getting 50 points in a closing finals game, on a bad knee, look so easy!
Stephen A better be back on first take.
He makes commenting exciting! You can't leave him out. He adds the flavor
All he does is scream and pick the wrong team to win
Yall say you dont want him to be there cos he assults Max
Stephen a simp 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Russ had to be traded to the lakers for SAS to come back to his main job
LeBron and Anthony Davis are enough to win the finals. Westbrook's job is to get them they're fresh and healthy by carrying some of the load during the regular season
That’s very true. He can create plays while lebron takes a rest. That was desperately needed last season
Exactly!
the was 2 years ago in the bubble, Lebrons old now and has a injury, AD is always a injury concern bc he flops so much. Lakers have no spacing. I have no idea how this is gonna turn out could turn out to win a chip or lose in the second round.
You know Perkins works for LeBron right?
@@GabGotti3 you sound dumb bro no he doesn’t
I like Stephen A and Kendrick's joint chemistry. Even if they have totally opposite views (just as this RW issue), their conversation is still very enjoyable and stress-free.
Russ made Steven adams relevant and made robin Lopez look like Kareem this year, and made Daniel gafford go from being a random with no playing time to someone who started to hoop hoop. I can't imagine what he'd do with AD
Man, I love Russ but you tripping. He made Lopez look like Kareem? Dawg, the man averaged 9 points. Disrespectful
The difference between all them & AD is AD actively doesn't like to stay in the paint
Russ ain’t doing nothing.
@@maniacmadness115 hen needs to play the 5. He's not a 2 guard like kobe 😒
Lakers are gonna be so trash lol
This is actually a really smart move simply because it’ll take a lot of strain off Bron and AD in regular season
Yall say that bs every year then complain about bron has no help
So what about in the playoffs?
That’s what I’m saying
@@udithsethu552 we’ll see who knows for real
@@momoshrop9741 right they claim Lebron always does it by himself but never won a ring without multiple all stars
Did Perk just say “although he’s played with me?” 😂
I fell out when he said that...Like Perkins.....you weren't that great
He had to be trolling bruh
@@sixobixo2020 he clearly was lol
Yall dumb ash it was a joke
He was clearly joking
I come back to this weekly 😂 never listen to the media use your eyes people 😂
Lol Drummond will have the least rebounds he’s ever had in his career
That's if they bring him back
Drummond is a free agent dude. Not a laker. And the lakers will not be able to pay him.
@@dageneral01 that's good cause now the Lakers should take Howard and a great 3 point shooter.
It’ll be an even bigger drop off as when Kevin Love went from the T’Wolves to the Cavs. Lol
he wont be on the team, davis said hes moving to the 5 and lebron to the 4

They always overpay in these tries. Why give up Harrell or all those picks??!
They gave up depth and their best 3&D player. That's a decent amount considering the poor fit westbrook is

This team is like another version of the Heat really. But Bron might be the one stepping back cuz of his age but when playoff times come he's the 1st option.
Def an updated version of the Heat, this LAL defense is gonna be tough and they will probably be top 5 in fastbreak points and points off turnovers
Westbrook underpeforms in the playoffs,Ad is injury prone and Lebron has gotten old.
Wade was a better decision maker and had a higher IQ than Russ tho. Better at mid range too

@@shanadomoss6002 7 of the 11 playoff games with OKC he shot below 45% and scored 5 points in an elimination game. They lost by 5 points(had he scored his usual amount or career average they win....)
@@jonathanjohnson6727 you’re right won’t deny that, now let’s talk about what happened the following year in the playoffs.
PG averaged 29 while Westbrook averaged 23 on 36% shooting from the field
Stephen A was accurate on the difference between passing to Rondo and Russ… with Rondo you can get the ball back. Great point. They play the point differently and that’s to be acknowledged. Russ is great in his own right.
Yeah but rondo is going to be 36 next year he won't keep up with the young pont guard
If they pull this off, all of these commentators will be changing their tone. If you watch the OKC series, KD disappeared and James Harden got picked by Metta World Peace.

Sounds pretty dumb to me
Lmao! If that's the smartest thing he's ever said, I'd hate to hear the dumbest thing he's ever said

Most amount of stars that a single player has played with. Is this right?

When everyone is healthy the best big in the league is still the guy who just lead his team to a chip and had 3 40+ games in the finals no questions

@@masongoit620 I’m going to explain this slowly so your little brain can understand. AD is not the greatest player of all time. So when we say Giannis is definitely better than AD, we’re not saying he’s the GOAT, we’re saying he’s better than Anthony Davis. Make sense? Also one or 2 years? Lmao you realize he won Finals MVP this year without another superstar. MVP and DPOY last year, and MVP the year before that.

No way suns trading with lakers so that's outta the question and Lowry maybe but they just felt Westbrook's was just more versatile than Lowry and explosive aswell
Your bragging about a guy who is 6"10 outplaying him? He was on a bad team where they relied on him taking 25 shots...everyone know that isn't a good role for westbrook.

@@jonnie5bgood583 i looked at his stats, in his best years, Rondo has half the rebounds Westbrook did. honestly, there just benefiting of having poor rebounding bigmen
@@rankyb8088 I wasn't saying rondo was a better rebounder than Westbrook, I was saying he was good for a 6 foot 1 pg or a pg in general. 5-6 a game is pretty good
It was essentially KCP and the 22nd for Westbrook. I’ll take that easy
I just hope we get melo,batum and a better center Since batum is a good shooter and a defender
@@redking8506 I say JJ redick and Melo
@@Jarballo5 jj will not sign for a minimum bro
@@arturbondarenco2155 how you know you talked to him?
@@Jarballo5 JJ will go to the nets, you gotta remember he wanted to be traded to the east coast to be closer to his family
If they can coexist on the floor feeding off of each other making plays, they will be unstoppable
Now they still need a marksman. Someone that can shoot with his eyes closed, from anywhere on the court.
Curry to L.A. confirmed
Would of tried for Beal before Westbrook
@@GabrielHernandez-vd7ni Beal would Lowkey fit better than Westbrook better shooter and a legit scorer also good team player
@@GabrielHernandez-vd7ni who knows if they didn't.. But you don't give up beal for what they got
Carmelo Anthony is on his way...
Once these guys flop during the year
Perk will say that he never trusted the trade lol
Rondo IQ is worlds above Westbrook
They only have enough money for vet minimums
So where is your Ray Allen, Mike Miller, Shane, etc...
That y’all compared to Miami 🤣
Facts, Russ will be the scapegoat. They think they slick setting Westbrook up like this. Unfortunately for them, Russ is a Cali native so the people won't turn on him but the media will.
I wouldn’t say worlds above. And even if so, Westbrook’s skill & talent is worlds above Rondo.
spot on gonna screenshot this lol
I'll come back when They Win
@@jamal7071 Not IQ wise. Athletically yes.
You can say whatever you want about Russ's fit with the Lakers but it's a fact that he's gonna take an immense amount of pressure off of Lebron especially in the regular season. And for those who say "horrible spacing" and stuff, I reply by saying this: AD is gonna play the 5 more and the Lakers are gonna sign 2-3 shooters in FA (Wayne Ellington, Reggie Bullock, Bryn Forbes, JJ Redick). They're gonna be fine. They're gonna dominate in the paint, in transition & on the boards.
😂☝️
@@michaelvillarreal4202 right bro wrote all that just to sound like a clown 🤣🤣 because westbrook making the decisions is a recipe for disasters bro deadass makes no one better. Most of his assist comes drives and dumps and he has a superstar shooter he’ll probably pass it to them. I seen him ice PG,KD,and Beal wayyy too many times and they are literally better than bron off ball.
@Icu 2021 no D Wade had a jumper and shot 48-50% a year, wayyy less turnovers, and wayyyy less stupid plays lmao context matters. It worked because d Wade is a wayyy better player and also they were also surrounded by wait for it… SHOOTERSSS
@@kvngcjgaming5559 so you don't sound like a clown for hating and saying negative stuff about a multimillionaire NBA star & future 1st ballot HOF??
@@kvngcjgaming5559 FREE AGENCY HAS...wait for it...NOT STARTED YET. You think the Lakers won't get any shooters???
Everyone forgets to talk about Chris bosh in Miami. Crazy to me. No one mentions him. Averaged 19 points and 7 rebound in Miami.
They're no longer in their prime, it'll be tough injury wise.
Westbrook is 30 AD is 29
@@lucianotecuanapa9853 Westbrook is 32
@@lucianotecuanapa9853 three of these players were much better 5 years ago. They will continue to decline, quite sharply now they are in 30s
22 12 and 12 ok buddy
@Snow Cone AD is the more injury prone of the three. Hope he can finally string together a full season next year
I'll never understand how Westbrook gets a ball hog reputation while leading the league in assist.
I agree! They see it as his shot selections. I misses too many shots and still average 10 + assists. Now if his shot go in and or he passes more, his shooting percentage will go up and his assists.
Bruh, you do know that you have to have the ball in your hands first in order to get an assist right? I'll never understand how people don't get that lol. One pass to somebody who immediately makes the bucket takes away from the first guy holding the ball in his hands the whole time until he makes that pass? Come on man... 😂
Bro he gets those assists from ball hogging
Earlier on his career.
Ball hogging doesn't just mean shooting he gets the most usage rate while other players don't get their touches.
This didn’t age well lol!
