Russ hate has got to stop. Dude is such a humble guy and plays his heart out every night. Kobe and Mike loved Russ for a reason.
He’s not worth 40mil. For 40mil the criticism was 100% deserved lmao
@@PhenomRom at the time he signed that contract he was 100% worth it. MVP Russ was an all time great.
@@PhenomRom It was the Lakers team's fault. WIth the Wizards, just one year prior, dude was worth every penny.
Jordan the best evaluator of talent for sure
I don’t disagree but Russ is delusional. He thinks he’s a crisp dollar bill and he’s more like the dime you find stuck to gum at the bottom of your shoe
And the clippers act like they found something but really twenty-nine other people had passed by the same coin all day
We need him on the show and btw I love your podcast keep it up
For sure💯
Russ held it down 40 pts in playoffs with kawhi and Pg out that’s TUFF
thats a bigger W to me than KD
Lmao no
Yep TUFF LOSSES☠️☠️☠️
@@mikewilliams9069 lmfaooo
He sucked in games 1 and 5. You can literally watch Booker give Westbrook open space because he eventually was going to cool down and wasn't that good
The clippers winning the chip next year would be peak script writing considering the doom surrounding the franchise
Peak script writing was that OP ass 73-9 Warriors team and lost 3-1 from LBJ.
@@gotredboxes lebron stimulus package🤣🤣🤣
Lol. Wake up
They have to be healthy
I can see it if they’re healthy long enough
Russ next on the podcast???? 👀
Hopefully 😊but probaly not 😢 Russ doesn’t seem to like interviews
@@Maxjuliannit’s his friend PG tho so hopefully he’ll come on. More of just a convo vibe than just a straight interview
Russ on a podcast would feel so weird but I’m here for it
@@Maxjuliann he don’t like reporter interviews
@@Maxjuliannand he's addicted to being a nba billionaire so he'd probably have better things to do
We need Russ on the pod 💯
Facts 💯
I want Jimmy and Dame to win a title, but i also want PG and Brodie to win one.
That would be a damn good 2v2
@@trevmorin yep but there's Kawhii 🙃
I ' m so happy for him ,that he stay in clippers with Paul George and Kawhi. Hopefully they get a ring. I really love both of them since OKC!
Whether you like Russ or not nothing but respect for this move. Dude is in the back 9 of his career and decided to take a pay cut to stay with the team that revitalized his reputation. Even if you say he’s just doing it to ring chase it’s a SERIOUS pay cut
I don't like Russ nor respect a move that was his only move or no nba💯💯🤡
And it's easy to take a paycut when you just were the highest paid worse player in the league ☠️
@@MrKkilla24shut up nigga that’s why you still broke bro 🤦🏽♂️
This dude had no choice but take a pay cut. if any other team offered him 20+ he would have accepted it asap. should be playing in china tbh
Nahh not even a ring chase. He from L.A. Shiit let me had been blessed with those athlete genes. I would’ve loved to play for the New Jersey Nets cus that’s home man. Shit I’d even play for Brooklyn bcus they still my beloved Nets. In russ situation he was on almost every La kids dream team. The Lakers. They did him wrong so he got to go across the hall the the clippers with former teammate and the players with the best win percentage of all time… That’s a win. I hope once they get this new arena we finally see russ get that ring. Kawhi has nothing to prove tbh but russ winning his first ring with the La Clippers would be sooooo fucking fire. Have a mf like KD who 😂😂😂
Yeah Russ was making 40-50 mill a year plus shoe deal and endorsements. He’s doing something money can’t buy🙏🏽
Whatcha mean?
True
@@FreddieJ65 prior to this year, russ was making 40-50mil a year if you combine his salary plus endorsements since 2016.
@@masonmargiela Yea but what is he doing that money can't buy? Most of his career without KD he was already losing in the 1st round just like he did last year. He was just making more money while doing it in the past. And you can't really say that last year was a fluke with PG/Kawhi being injured. Because they are always injured.
@@miket492 bro, are you sped? dont talk to me, youre not smart enough
We need Russ as a your next guest p that’ll be great 🥲
He's the only one who finna be healthy
😂😂😂 for real
Facts 😂😢
Which is crazy since the man has had multiple knee surgeries. Whoever fixed Russ knees needa fix kawhi knees
@@NapoleonBeatshe only had 1 surgery
@@deetee624 Russ has had 3 surgeries on 1 knee and 1 micro surgery back in 2018
Steve Ballmer gotta pay Russ under the table lol
Yeah pay him to go away or pay A.I. to shoot for him since Artificial Intelligence is the wave☠️☠️☠️
Naaa FR make him a Xbox ad
The fact they got Russ on such a cheap deal is crazy. Tell me in 2018 that Russ is gonna be on a $8m deal I 100% think you’re lying
4 a year is insane
It’s not crazy nobody wants him 🗑 unless u been living under a rock
That Westbrook picture probably one of the best in NBA History
other than a few sports "analysts" i haven't really seen much Russ hate for a while, i love watching him play
Because he is not in the lakers right now... Clippers are irrelevant to be honest.
You love watching him lose…
The season is over genius... There's no abominations happening on the court at the moment 🤦🏿♂️
I do too when he's against my team (the Suns). I knew we were going to win
Dearron Fox has said multiple times that Russell Westbrook was his favorite player and who he modeled his game after. So it makes sense to why he goes at him hard when they play against eachother
You can tell open communication is huge for Russ look how he reacted when KD left vs when PG left and how they still decide to play with each other, cause they’ve always had that open communication
It’s cause pg didn’t leave he got traded
@@idontlikeair2044Yes, but he got traded bc he had intentions of wanting to join the Lakers and his contract was expired next season to go into FA. It was a smart move by Indiana that didn’t transpire into much of anything. I guess the same could be said for OKC now looking back on it.
I'd love to see Russ play more games than PG and Kawhi combined on 2% of their pay.
We need more players like Russ, man
This podcast is great man
Shows this isn’t about money it’s about loyalty and trust
Facts 💯 and being comfortable let's not forget Russ from LA
Congrats Logan. I'm happy for you man. Really dope video
The only issue with Russ on the Lakers was the fit. To be honest, the fit wasn’t even great for LeBron, considering they both thrived on floor spacing and perimeter defenders…
The issue is Westbrook sucks. It's not surprising the Lakers got better after removing him. I was actually mad they were allowed to do that. I was hoping the Lakers would've stayed in the lottery and given their pick to the Pels
There's no real Superstar that flourishes with LeBron 😂
@@keantelockett5037 Booker would've. You see what Kyrie did? If we got Lebron on the Suns for Jae Crowder, Booker would've gotten 2 FMVPs by now
@@cottonmather8146 Kyrie wasn't a superstar then 😂😂
@@keantelockett5037 Yes he was. The Cavs were a superteam. Kyrie was a top 5 player in the league after outdueling Curry in the finals. Stop lying
Hoping Russ would guest in the near future
As a King's fan I will always be a Hali fan. Kid is insanely talented with a very high ceiling. The trade was for the better for him and the Kings (we had too many good guards), but it will always leave a bitter taste.
Haliquitton us asellouttt traitor
@@mikewilliams9069how he a traitor😭 he got traded he can’t do nun bout that
@@usernamedTino after hs he quit on his home state of ny and ran to some loser college down south. He “ took the easy way out”
@mikewilliams9069 no one is obligated to stay in their home state when going to college.
@@BrickyRiver0712 just like nobody is obligated to stay in their home state when lebron went to miami
PG you need to get Marcus smart and ask him what he thinks about following in tony Allen’s footsteps
i started watching russ around the time he was playing with melo and pg on the thunder. He played his heart out every time and I appreciated the hell out of it. It's a rare quality to go 100 miles an hour for 82 games. However, it became obvious to me what his problem was. When there is a problem and Russ needs to adjust, he always without fail adjusted by playing harder, and not smarter. He would do the same thing... but more. If he was already going 100 mph, he'd adjust to 110 or more. And adjusting that way may win you a game, great for the regular season. Not going to win you a series.
The only difference between OKC russ and LA is now everybody's watching. The criticism was understandable but the hate and ridicule was always too far. But imo his experience with LA made him grow. It feels like he at least is trying to figure things out on the floor. If kawai and PG can at least be healthy for the playoffs, I think you would be a fool to ignore them.
rooting for ya russ
If you started watching during that time, you would've seen him sold in the Jazz and Blazers series
He's like the anti-Steve Nash, high athleticism, low bball IQ. Big heart tho and definitely tries to win. Needs to slow down and think.
@@MrFraiche That is disrespectful to Nash. Nash deserved his MVPs carrying Suns teams (one year without Stoudemire) to some of the best offenses
He brings so much energy to the game. I love watching him play not only for his talent but also I always feel good afterwards. He plays with joy and I was thrilled when he went to the Clippers because seeing him with LeBron he wasn't himself. It was if he lost his love of the game and not seeing him smiling and enjoying himself was heart breaking as this man has such a big heart.
I'm rooting for him and the Clippers and hoping this will be their season. Kawaii, Paul and Russell that is an awesome trio.
@@mireilledavidson9427 Holy cope, the Clippers are done and suck. Suns will run through them and the Lakers again to go back to the finals
I always knew Fox would go after Russ as far as growth and competition. I remember Russ was in OKC, he was giving Fox those welcome to th NBA moments😂
I’m from Australia I’ve been trying to download prizepicks and it doesn’t work here
Bring Russ on
bring him to the podcast, it would be fire
PJ has a lot of like for this interview lol.
Listen Russ had an outstanding year and reminded us of the old Russ that further proves that lebron does not make other stars better it was sad the way the lakers made him look but I’m glad PG is hyping up Russ as he should because people were starting to act as if Russ is played out or something
PG is happy but yet there’s trade rumors about him getting traded
Thing is with Russ contracts is theyre always value since he plays damn near every game of the season, a lost art nowadays
Drop merch for the pod 🙏🙏
Happy for Russ but man. As a lakers fan thinking about what we could’ve done with the roster if he opted out of that 47M and took a team friendly deal with us
We know damn well the Lakers community would’ve still clowned on Westbrook even with a pay cut.
Why would any player opt out of a guaranteed 47 million bruh 😂😂
@@Jeremy-xy2fy bruh same person who just took 4M
@@Jeremy-xy2fybecause he was playing so trash if he had any honor he would’ve opted out
Russ gotta be on the pod
Im still mad LAC can only give Russ 8m contract. Thats not a steal, thats a robbery
Right 😂😢. Not even 15 mil
It's a gamble🤣😂🤣🤡
Still over paid
@@michaeltamares7974 Facts 💯
@@michaeltamares797415.9/7.5/6.8 is over paid? come on he’s making 3 million a fucking year mean while Dillon bricks is making 80 mill smh but y’all wanna hate on Russ tho
Love Russ and PG together
I gotta give it to Russ. I don’t think I could take the amount of hate he’s received in the past couple of years. We gotta start looking at people beyond their job title, he might have some slumps but he’s a human that has a family. Have some respect
I was happy to see Russell make 40 million they guy plays his heart out and people want to say who deserve how much money smh.
WE NEED RUSS ON DA POD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paul George love that Russ is durable. He must hate that he himself isn’t
His name is “Brodie” for a reason people hating him is crazy to me.
That's great that P is backing Russ! Russ is an EXCELLENT AND UNDERATED PLAYER!! Yes, the Russ hate is not deserved by him.
They need to sign him to a 1+1 next off season worth 30 a year for taking the pay cut. It would set a precedent of hey we can’t pay you now but for taking the cut we’ll get you on the next deal
Why don’t we have a clipp trio podcast episode yet? Russ, Kawhi, PG
Russ coming back is a huge win for the clippers!
The fact that PG admits Russ changed the culture showcases how this franchise is leaderless. How a dude gonna come in for a few months and change the way you guys move?
For Russel, it's just super nice that he no longer has to deal with all the toxic bronsexuals everytime their idol takes a loss. Media bronsexuals and self-entitled bronsexuals.
I never thought Russ was leaving , LA is home ! Russ last contract was bought out after that bad Lakers trade ! He’s beyond straight on money .
P I am a BIG FAN. So glad you recovered from you severe leg injury years ago, but KEEPING IT 💯 Bruh, will you & Kawhi EVER PLAY A FULL SEASON???? If not you shouldn't be tying up their salary cap & giving those GREAT fans false hopes. ( I'm a Warriors Fan) Just sayin
People need to remember he was commanding a significant portion of the Lakers cap. Now, he’s on a minimum deal and is a much better player than min vs max. Had he done that for the lakers no problem.
Waiting for Russ in your Podcast.
I think Russ likes the appreciation. I’d take a one year pay cut for that after how he was treated on the Lakers
Russ for 7.8m a year is wwiilllllddd
7.8 for 2 YEARS!
Yoo We need russ interview asap !! Much love
Wasn't 7.8 the max we could offer him? All the Clippers had was minimum contract to offer so 7.8 over 2 years was the max I believe
yeah it was
They saying other places offered him more as well, he could’ve left he wanted to stay.
We need Russ on the Pod P!
GET RUSS ON THE POD P
Get Russ on the show
When will you get Kawhi on the podcast? If Serge Ibaka can get Kawhi you can get him too.
He would just say 2 words for 45 minutes
Put it this way, since signing his max deal of $233 mil, when you add it to this $4 mil, that's $237 over six seasons.
Russ has plenty dough!
He could afford a one year risk at the league minimum.
He has a players option for next season so there may be one more decent sized contract for Russ next season.
I think all the point guards from Russ' peer group are on the last year of their last contract?
Conley, CP3, Harden, and Lowry are all on expiring contracts i think?
I believe if Russ helps The Clippers reach the WCF and or NBA Finals, he will get a nice payday next offseason....
He is not likely to put up great stats being the #3 or #4 scoring option....
Hopefully he stays a Clipper and retires with the organization...
russ will always b holding tha triple double rec to , his prime was crazzy
Tyrese would be so cold with the clippers
We need that Russ interview 👀
2:28 “And he gon play every game!”
😬😅
💪🏾💙
So happy to see russ back! RUSS, PG , DA KLAW!!!! Awe yeah
Hali is cold I was playing with him on 2k in Sacramento days
I hate how every sports show acts like the clips gonna trade pg. he a clipper for life now
Russ one of my favorite PGS of All time.
And he's one of the WORST PGS OF ALL TIME... F them Triple Doubles 💯💯💯💯🤡
2:35 aint no way he telling another nba player that russ gon out play his contract 😂🤔
with the 🫲🏾 too tho🤣
although its cheap contract, i hope brodie developed some new playstyle for next season
We need melo on the podcast
GET RUSS ON THE SHOW!!!
They talking like he had offers at $10 mil/ season plus and he turned it down😂 bro it was the best offer on the table lol
I’m pretty sure he did
Hated on the lakers loved on the clippers Stats the same effort is different belief in him is different
Effort is the same
@@thecowcowclash honestly, I don’t know. It might’ve been but I’m associating the passion and heart that he played with on the clippers was not there that’s what I’m adding into effort as well.
@@beaubeaubeauwick I’m just saying that I feel like Westbrook always/almost always played with passion and heart on the lakers too, even when he wasn’t playing that well
@@thecowcowclash I feel it
How can you hate on someone who shows up to play every night EVERY NIGHT
Russ is a real one 💯
They talkin bout 7.8M like that shit some I can go and pick up off the ground 😂😂
I thought he was great in Washington. Something about the lakers wasn’t fit for him. Glad to hear PG say great things about him
How are you great but don't win make that shit make sense 🤣😂🤣😂🤡
PG did had one of his best seasons with Russ
Yep Playoff P and then decided to back door Westbrick to play with Leonard but because he felt sorry for what happened with the Lakers he vouched for him and got him a job but it's funny how y'all choose to forget about that to fit y'alls narrative... PG is a snake and their all in the perfect place together... The World Class Clippers 😂🤣😂🤣🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Streets give you a nickname not you nickname yourself especially something you've never done successfully 🤡
They need to get Russell Westbrook on the podcast and talk
we need russ on the pod next week
Bring russ on
Get russ on the podcast if you can P
Draymonds influence is crazy!!!!
Respect but I can only laugh when P said he knew what "we can offer him" and they say Lebron the GM of every team he been on lol, like hes the only athlete that knows what goes on behind the scene.
Yo Clippers stole Westbrook! Imagine if Gabe Vincent had averaged 21 7 7 in the playoffs?!? He would ask for 100 million and they only paid Russ 8 million!?! Damn that’s a great steal for the Clippers
Agreed people think that it’s all Russ that was a problem in LA when in reality you had a ball dominant guard who’s game is driving and dishing, how was that ever gonna help lebron, its why rondo always came off the bench before cause he just didn’t fit in the starting lineup with lebron who’s the true pg of the team.
@@Eduardo-ll7eg Agree
If anyone quote on quote stole Westbrick trust me the burglars would bring him right back and then turn themselves in☠️☠️☠️
That’s a great price for a outstanding player.
You're delusional as Westbrick 🥴😵💫🤡🤡
Good move. Good contract.
I dont hate him as a person. He's a decent guy for sure. I hate how bad his decision making playing ball. He's got to reincarnate his old self and earn the respect he wants.
Russ don’t care about us 9-5 workers respect for him he don’t know us he can care less he makin money living his dream and providing for his family that’s all a man can ask for all that hate in people heart is ridiculous
love me some russ and pg 🫶
Just keep having fun clippers 😁
Im not a huge Russ fan, because of his offense limitations, but its is a steal. The bad thing is the average age of the Clippers roster, a lot of vets and not enough young and athletic
Offence limitations???
Please we need Russ on this podcast!!!! #1 fan!!!!
Russ a real one I bet not one person that qualifies for a good contract that hated on him will not take 7.8
Russ is that guy! He's grown on me the past 5 years.
