• Are Russell Westbrook'...
The Herd with Colin Cowherd:
/ colincowherd - Sport
Lol when your usage rate is that high, you steal rebounds from your big men, and you’re leading the league in points while while shooting 42%, it’s not that impressive tbh
that 32-9 triple double argument is flawed because most of those wins come against sub .500 teams
Sam Tha Ruler Spurs, cavs and jazz under .500? i get your point. but it applies to everyones team the warriors have won more games under.500 than over
Eh, Rockets with much better shooters are 4-8 against top 4 teams. So, Harden's doing against weak teams too. And, if the Cavs weren't acting as if regular season doesn't matter, the record would've been 2-10.
Sam Tha Ruler it's not even flawed because of that. It's flawed because they assume that him getting more rebounds per game is leading to these wins when if the bigs were getting the rebounds it'd be the same
westbrooks team is trash, so your sub .500 teams argument is flawed
Sam Tha Ruler why is it flawed? it just shows that against better teams, his very best was not good enough to carry his team, whereas, against lesser teams, they need a triple double just to win. your argument actually emphasizes the quality of his teammates or the coach or the team as a whole.
Jesus bro what does kawhi have to do to get respect
i know right!
it's like not being a loud mouth idiot is a bad thing lol
hit a 3 lol last couple games he been ice cold
Steven Nguyen 2nd best record in the league
Finish a game with over 8 assists
Jeremiah Castillo It doesn't matter because the damn "triple double" narrative for Westbrook dominates everything
Gotta side with Cowherd here. I don't get why a triple double is that important. What's important is if the team has more rebounds than the other team. Did the Thunder dominate the paint because of Westbrook, or did they just redistribute those rebounds to Westbrook? I think we all know the answer.
Big fan of Chris Broussard, actually speaks honestly rather than letting bias cloud everything
People literally find ways to Hate Westbrook. Meanwhile, all he does is play hard every night in a Era where ppl sit out games when they're not even hurt. It's unbelievable.
Jonathan Liddell Well I'm sorry LeBron Cares about championships and not stats.
Dillan Brown His team is 32-9 when he gets a tripple double. Pretty sure Westbrook cares about winning too. But you're just proving my point.
I hate when people say he plays hard every night. youre looking at one side of the floor. watch him on defense. oh yeah he plays real hard
A.R. Smith another example of someone "finding a way to Hate on Westbrook." The Players themselves admit he plays the hardest.
Jonathan Liddell they're being blinded by his offense. nobody talks about how he is as a defender it's just triple double this triple double that
I love listening to these two debate because they never yell and both bring up great points. Their debates are how debates should be.
People want to call Colin a hater, but he has some really good points
spainengland1 yup
Everyone is overlooking that Harden is the first player with 2,000+ pts and 2,000 plus assists in a season. But because the "triple double" is so appealing to everyone that is why. Smh
Ledgnr197gaming Which season did James Harden get 2000 assists?
orvcharl1 16-17!!!
But it’s common knowledge that Colin loves Lebron and hates Westbrook so...
Russ is averaging the most points in the league
Yeah, great point. Now name me the starters on that 02-03 Orlando team.
This is his problem. He changes the narrative to the LeBron Rule. "LeBron doesnt give a rip about averaging a Triple Double". Then dont mention his name if he barely cares. Russ is breaking records and winning with less talent around him, give him his due and stop using LeBron as a trump card.
The Swoosh he just rides Lebron all day.
And the spoon fed Cavs have been playing like dogshit
This comment aged very poorly.
Jimmy Bonez is that you? 😂😂
One of the focal points of the triangle was Shaqs ability to pass to cutters. Very underrated passer
3 biggest LeBron lovers on air:
1. Shannon Sharpe
2. Colin
3. Max Kellerman
Nick Wright
1. NICK WRIGHT
2. NICKY WRIGHT
3. NICHOLAS WRIGHT
just realised whenever a current player does something great that a previous player has done people immediately hate on them. LeBron chasing mj, russ chasing Oscar's record immediate hate.
tbh it's the fans at least for westbrook, almost every former nba player will says russ is mvp
It's the "chasing" part that people don't like. Let it come organically as part of a strategy where the focus is 100% on winning the game.
The difference is Russ passed Oscar now he just needs the ring
Joshua Hart Russ went 32-9 with a triple double 14-26 when he didn't have one so either u don't no what winning means or ur a hater
Kristine ethering Colin out here!
NAS
westbrook dickriders? so what is collin to LBJ???
Marco Warren a realist
"32-9 when he gets a triple double", then I could say "would they have lost if he could have got 2-3 less rebounds in those games?"
That winning record is mostly against weaker teams and triple or no triple OKC was gonna win.
i wish i could've been there for this debate
Why is he trying to take away what Westbrook is doing? I don't get it
32-9 when he gets a triple double losing record when he doesnt ...Argument done
Jenai Shaw 12-24 when he doesn't get a trip dub
Most of those wins are against sub .500 teams.
thank u mister
Jenai Shaw warriors are 19-0 when Green has triple double... everyone wins games when they get triple doubles, so Russ actually has lost way too more games than he should had.
Cavs are probably 10-1 when Lebron gets one, Magic are probably 2(or 3)-0 when Elfrid Payton gets one
Jenai Shaw not to mention okc is 35-16 when Russ gets 10+ reb and 9-16 when he doesn't
I still don't get how Curry wins MVP unanimously and yet people debate that Russ doesn't deserve it.
CHRIS BROUSSARD SPEAKS STRAIGHT FACTS
nobody is perfect let Russ be Russ he is doing historic things
I'd rather see him compete for championships
Nothing says stat stuffer like a dude who wins more games when he stuffs stats than when he doesn't.
Daz
Sarcasm my dude.
My point is he's stat stuffing his was to wins. 32-8 when he "stat stuffs". Whatever works keep doing it.
the way some people completely misunderstand stats is amazing
That last statement from Chris. I've been saying this for so long.
What Westbrook is doing is LEGENDARY. Give him some respect
I respect the individual achievement he's accomplished...but he's not playing like an Most Valuable Player. he's playin like a ME Valuable Player...Lebron could easily average a triple double...but him TRYING to do that would take away from the other players and would mess their chemistry up...and that's facts...swap Lebron and Westbrook...thunder would be a way better team and I bet you Lebron still wouldn't average a triple double...why is that? Cuz he's not focused on that...he's focused on having his TEAM operating as a system...what we are seeing from Russell is a worse version of Kobe that actually passes sometimes
But they're 32-9 when he does get one which is all that matters
it's really not that LEGENDARY all caps.... in 5 years nobody will care.
Abdullah Sheikh 6 seed is not legendary
CF Killer okc won 55 wit kd and ibaka last yr, russ won 45 games with 4 remaining. oladipo miss 16 games, kanter miss 12 games, 2nd youngest team, 29th rank in 3s, 2nd yr coach, okc miss the most uncontested 3s in the nba
Colin Cowherd is a hater, FACTS! Russell Westbrook is a stat-padder, FACTS! Still Westbrook for MVP
Colin's blind hate for Westbrook is getting as disgusting as Skips hate for Lebron smh
Cowherd looks like that deputy principal everyone hates
if rebounds don't count, what's the Thunders winning % when he averages a double double (pts, ast)
Adam Obirek all does trip doubles ain't gone get him out the first round
PLEASE, WITH CURRY'S TEAMMATES THERE IS NO WAY THE AST/TO RATIO SHOULD BE SO CLOSE BETWEEN THEM
I love when Chris Broussard comes and challenges Colin because he always battles him hard. Shuts him down sometimes. I'd love to see him battle Nick Wright on LeBron.
They didn't mention Nikola Jokic who is the best passing center in the NBA. Mason Plumlee and Al Horford also
To even compare russ and curry is a joke. Completely different players and curry is playing in the best offensive and arguably defensive team in the NBA. Russ plays with kanter and oladipo, he has got them to 6th seed in the WESTERN CONFERENCE, he is averaging a triple double and he shoots just as good as harden and has less turnovers than harden. Yet Colin still picks harden over russ and Lebron over harden😂 come on now Colin, I love Lebron but this hasn't been a great regular season for him.
Daz he is obviously important to that, but the point is he doesn't have to constantly carry his team every night because of the warriors system
Lavar Ball Exactly! Curry plays good for 12 games and all of a sudden he's an MVP candidate ???
Collin never said he was an MVP candidate. He is saying people are overly infatuated with the triple double stat because that is the only reason why Westbrook is a true candidate for MVP right now. And he wouldn't have the stats for it if his team was -actively feeding- him rebounds to attain it. Not to say it doesn't matter at all, not to dismiss the points or assists. But at least people can be honest with the fact they are biased in how much they value the triple double and recognize that a few players in the league right now could get it, because they are already right near it without trying for it, if they specifically fought to get it.
Even without getting the sheer number of triple doubles, if Westbrook didn't have his 2 bigs " who are supposed to be getting the rebounds since it's their job as bigs, feeding him those rebounds he'd the MVP over Harden because he is unquestionably working with less and getting the same production as Harden. And is making it to the playoffs. But, Collin and others don't like the over glorification of Westbrook over his stat stuffing because it is obvious. Especially by the hypocrites who wanted to critique Lebron when many called him the greatest player in the league, because they felt he came up short in the big moments " lack of clutch gene " and wanted to dismiss the fact his stats were all time great for the first 48 minutes of the game.
People are being wishy washy and are obviously letting personal bias affect their objectivity. While I think Collin does it some himself, but his arguments in this case is at least based around the facts of the situation.
Bryan I'm not reading that I'm afraid😂
L CarmeLo in 1676. You can't hide
Russ is leading this team to wins other then him there really isn't anyone and curry has 3 other all stars
bmantheawsome77 because curry can play with three other stars. thats a valuable skill that russ does not possess
bmantheawsome77 *2, donkey is just an effort guy. We praised him the last two years for putting up TD numbers but now Russ is overrated because of it? I agree Russ had this team in his backpack and is trying to get up the mountain all by himself.
Russ can play with stars he just needs the right ones
what 3 stars? all star game nominees don't translate since its a popularity contest. draymond isn't nor is klay. klay is a system player and draymond
Lamar Palmer buddy your stupid af
What people forget is that Westbrook's rebounds are important... When he gets a rebound he can push the ball to give the Thunder an easy score... the Thunder are 1st in points of the break.
So it makes more sense for him to travel further down the court to start the offense than to let the bigs get the rebound and hit him at 3/4 or half court in stride?
lol isiah shot 43% pistons win title, iverson shot 42% 76ers go to finals, field goal % means about the shot u take and make. If u don't have a good team how u going get efficient shots? how?
Chris is smart and Honest
Lebron has a similar assist to turnover ratio. Why does that only matter when its westbrook. Not hating on lebron
KERSHIDINATOR GTA and Call of Duty CZcamsr because LBJ isn't in the conversation for the MFP because they use the Valuable word wrong. It's the most flashy player.
The Gaming King honestly in the last few years its just been the best player on the best team
The rockets golden states record of made 3 pointers in a season, james harden is having a great season too and altough eric gordon/ryan anderson were not the most consistent players in the past, they are playing well, especially gordon in the first half of the season was the leader in made 3's.. Got lou williams six man of the year after all star break.. Even if you forget about the rebounds, westbrook is scoring champ with 10 + assist any given night . Both of them deserve the mvp, it is so close that it is nearly impossible to complain about it afterwards
It'd be like if the NFL only covered David Johnson.
FG perfectage is overrated if u r the only super star or even allstar on your team
Hate how people glorify stats... smh
Brandon Lee Durant in his rookie season had a better field goal than Wesbrook in his prime. Durant was the sonics last star player.
But Westbrook's FG % was trash even with Durant on the team...
To me, FG percentage is everything! (and turnovers). A missed shot is pretty much a turnover and if you are missing shots, you are depleting possessions.
Brandon Lee that's so hypocritical. I don't see Harden having any other all stars on his team
Colin! MVP really is for a player's most outstanding season. it's Westbrook's: & yes lebron remains the best player since 2009
Chris is back at least i can watch this show
Honestly the reason everyone gets worked up over this mvp thing is cause it’s called the most valuable player, you’d have to be insane not to call lebron the most valuable player in the league, so call the award what it is, most impressive regular season
Westbrick.... 0 rings. Broussard is talking 💩
He is stat padding...
Obviously he is just a stat filler
Westbrook will never be known for anything besides the triple double season and screwing up the best thing he ever had going for him.
Fun fact: Chris pronounces Lebron's name as "LeBrahn".
i hate Colin he hates westbrook so much
Lost respect for Colin on really not showing respect for Westbrooks amazing season and great accomplishment. Dude has a weird liking for LeBron to top that. SMH😒
averaging a triple double is historical.. that is one personal stat that I never thought would be broken. give Westbrook his due
Chris asks if Curry would be as good as he is without the system he's in.
Counter question would Russ even be a starter if he had to pay in an IQ oriented offense?
Would Russ even start if the team he played for needed 3pt shots from their PG?
10 years ago if you got a triple double then everyone would talk about you like you were a beast. Now Westbrook (& the rest of the league) is doing it on a nightly and OKC is winning yet people trying to down play Russ as overhyped lol what a joke.
That's what happens when you manufacture an unnatural triple double for the sake of stats and not for the team.
Oscar was 6'5" in a league where the average FC was 6'7". Russ is 6'3" in a league where the average FC is 6'9".
Steph averaged 24/8.5 the year before Kerr came. He was probably gonna average nearly 30 and 9 on pretty good soothing eventually
Also when my pg is getting10 reb. Per game then as center it makes my job easier and to simply box out. Along with defense
LeBron team is like 2 games better than okc this year with a stacked roster....smh get off of LeBron nuts
magic Johnson avg 5 turnovers with hall of famers= best point guard ever lmao. russ triple double no hall of famers, 5 turnovers= overrated ???? #double standard
Ballin Too magic never went a single season averaging 5 turnovers. He averaged less than 4 turnovers a game for his entire career.
magic has a carrer avg of 3.9 Turnover you can round that to 4 but so what magic played at a very slow pace compared to russ so i can understand why he has 5 turnovers a game and hes forcing the ball into bums that cant even get in position to post up
why do they hate on westbrook so much, mvp isn't who is the best point guard or center or forward, it's the most important player to a team. why downplay a triple double no one else has done that in 55 years.
is it just me or is it that as soon as westbrook started getting triple doubles, everyone is like oh a triple double is nothing.
it's because we are seeing it so often from him and a few others that it takes away
Colin Cowherd is the biggest Westbrook hater in the universe
You're right, hate was too strong a word, I think he's overly critical tho, like he tries too hard to criticize Westbrook, and yeah Colin and Shannon Sharpe love LeBron a lot, I mean LeBron James is my favorite player but I'm not all about him like he's the best thing ever like some are
Cyrus M Jonason nah i know one thats bigger
Colin is a poor man's bill o'reilly.
44 wins 5 games remaining, 11 comeback wins trailing by +15 going into the 4th quarter = mvp
at the end of the day if he averaged one less rebound per game and the forwards did there job and rebounded and not let Russell get it he wouldn't win it
Colin hates just to hate. No one plays harder than Westbrook. For a point guard to average 10+ rebounds a game is boss. You don't just luck into that. That's hustle and effort.
colin is acting clownish on this topic.
I wish Memphis would've missed that last shot so that Russ could've not gotten the rebound on purpose and then told the media to Stat-Pad that!
Of course rebounds matter for any player, this is basketball 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Come on ok maybe Russ doesn't win MVP,ok he's not playing the best most efficient basketball but he's making history and I'm not even a fan . You cant say respect talent when it comes to Lebron and not when it comes to Westbrook
"Westbrook isnt one of the 5 best Point Guards ever so he sucks" - is the basic argument that Colin makes everytime.
That's why there should be two awards in place of one MVP. Best Player and Best Season.
Seem like we are running out of topics it's always "Westbrook's triple doubles", "Does Lebron have enough help?", "Something about the warriors and KD", "Then what has LaVar Ball said?" then repeat over and over again.
if he averaged 8 rpg, he wouldn't be top mvp 3 in the mvprace. uncontested rebounds cannot be the reason he wins mvp
Ma Jo true
that's 8 rebounds a game that nobody else hustled to get
Ma Jo why does he average more offensive rebounds than lebron this year?
he would still be in the MVP race chill out
dude amazing. well said
Stat stuffer for sure.
If the center lead the league in scoring and averaged a triple double, then we would give him MVP
yo, you're spreaking the truth, jokic almost avg a trip double and he a mvp candidate
Colin tries to make as if each player doesn't have some flaws. Give Russell the respect he deserves #MVP
Colin rides Lebron all day... I can't believe this dude...
There is LeBron, Steph and KD, then there's everybody else...
So true haha
Matthew Chapa so false haha
They are the top 3, then it's WB kawhi harden AD
Nik Burns Agree 💯
Broussard needs his own show . The only person who makes sense whenever he's put on a segment
I like how people don't think one bit about Westbrook's win% when he doesn't get a triple double. It's around 33%. People just glance at it and think, "oh wow, the team sucks when Westbrook doesn't give his best". But if you look at it logically, you'll find one really odd thing about that statistic. The definition of "not getting a triple double" could be a stat line of 30-10-8. Why does a difference of 2 rebounds turn the win% of the team from lottery-bound to title contender?
When Westbrook goes 30-10-8, the Thunder win 33% of the time. When Westbrook goes 30-10-10, they win 66% of the time. It just doesn't make sense. Two rebounds get you 2 possessions. 2 possessions get you 8 points at MOST, and that's only if you're fortunate enough to get 4-point plays on both. It's most likely that 2 extra possessions leads to just 3 points on average. So how does 3 points make the difference between lottery team and championship contender? The Thunder don't win all their games by 3 points or fewer. Those 3 extra points are rarely the difference between a win and a loss for them. It's absolutely absurd.
He's a stat stuffer, you're welcome.
Grimmj7w 32-9 when he stat stuffs. You're welcome.
LeBron has a 30.1% usage rate and has a lower usage rate than Kyrie at 30.9%, that just shows how much he doesn't stat stuff.
Angel Davis Against mostly sub .500% teams who's best option to guard Westbrook is Elfrid Payton. When he plays against the Warriors I don't see him dropping 57 point triple doubles. He stat stuffs against all the bad teams that have no defensive options against him, and when he plays good teams he shoots 39% loses and looks helpless, so much for those triple doubles against bad teams, it's not gonna help him when he exits the playoffs in the first round.
Grimmj7w how do u expect a top 3 player to play against sub par competition??? Smh if u downplay gettin a triple double on the KD-less Thunder in today's NBA ur basketball opinion is null and void
Grimmj7w you're a spastic . you're welcome
#FireColin
wiZo he's the best,most real,and brings in the real world into sports and shows a whole new intellect.
The Gaming King Did you just use "intellect" to describe Colin Cowherd?!? Come on. Who falls for this type of psuedo-"intellect". Throwing around stats without being able to intelligently apply proper context to them is the sign of a person of average intelligence attempting to make intellectual arguments. It sounds "smart" only to those of below average to average intelligence. To the intelligent, it sounds moronic.
Agree. I had no idea Westbrook was this disliked among many "sports guys"
The Orlando Magic fans chanted MVP in their home stadium. That right there says enough.
How can you all disrespect Bill Russell like that? Comparing him to a center that is not good offensively. He played against Wilt Champlerlain. 7’3 center every other game. Maybe 3 times a month. And he put up those stats he did. Michael Jordan would be blocked at least 3 times every game against Chamberlain. And there were numerous centers at that time. And less teams means facing more of Chamberlain, more of Bill Russell, more of Kareem, more of Willis Reed, and many more almost on a daily basis. That is like playing against LeBron and Kawhi every 2-3 times a month.
Can't give MVP to someone in the 6th seed
JonaGOAT Simmons his team is garbage
JonaGOAT Simmons where the next best player is probably enes kanter? Sounds ok to me
JonaGOAT Simmons why not isn't the MVP award a personal award
JonaGOAT Simmons without westrbook the thunder would've even be in the playoffs
JonaGOAT Simmons you're right. nobody in nba history has ever won mvp being lower than the 2nd seed. only person to win it being lower than the 2nd seed was michael jordan in 1988 and he was in the 3rd seed. if russell westbrook wins it this year then kobe got robbed in 2007 while he was averaging 35 points. harden is the mvp
This "He's 32-9 when he averages a triple double" is one of the weakest arguments I've ever heard, as if that's the sole purpose of his winning and because of that, Westbrook isn't being held accountable. He'd have the same margin/ if not more wins if he contested more shots, held his team accountable on rebounding and turned it over less. Holding his team mates' feet to the fire would allow them to grow, LeBron does this!
Do you see his teammates. They don't have the Cavs talent
That stat is very misleading. Westbrook shoots the 3 and regular FGs at significantly lower percentages in their losses than he does in their wins. OKC's AVG margin of victory is only +1 so his shooting Percentage is what determines their wins or losses not whether or a not he gets a triple double.
+michael jordan his shooting Percentage is what determines their wins or losses because he is their whole team. If he doesn't carry they lose
Daz I'll take my 6 championships and 6 finals MVPs over averaging a triple double any day of the week. No jealousy here, I'm a winner. Just stating facts.
Hanma Yujiro not to mentien that 32-9 is weaker then warrioirs and spurs record %
i could only imagine the commotion if lebron would have averaged a triple-double for an entire season
i liked the players voting for mvp more they know who the best player is.
James harden is the MVP. Stop the foolishness. Harden's putting up 29, 8 and 11. So westbrook's 2 extra rebounds are worth more than harden having his team 3rd in the NBA? Cut it out.
TyzillaTeferii I don't understand it bruh anybody who thinks logically understands that James should be MVP
Lol and what are you gonna do with three point shooters with no one to find them after penetrating the lane? Without harden the rockets aren't making the playoffs so your point is invalid
what if i tell you that you lose your best scorer (kd ) your best defensive player (serge) your 6-7 th man (dion).
plus your centar (adams) second best player (victor) and current 6th (kanter) are in and out the line up with injuries. you ended last season with 55 wins now on paces to finish 10-5 game less please russell mvp
Tyzilla, spot on. It's amusing when they try to bring up the "Harden has a better team" argument. Before the season started, the media in general had the Rockets (after the addition of Anderson and Gordon) finishing with fewer wins than Oklahoma City (minus Kevin Durant). You'd think they'd be rated higher if Harden supposedly has a better team. The Thunder are what we expected of them (5th-8th seed) but the Rockets surpassed their expectations and are now locked into the 3rd seed.
TyzillaTeferii Stop It..Harden as way better players around him
It's a Triple Double man, nd he's stat stuffing. Man his team is winning, at a level they shouldn't even be in. If there are exceptions to the rule then wth. Everybody y'all comparing him to has a way better team bruh. They are 32-9 without his triple double. 32-9 like WTH, so his position matters. Because he's not shooting at a PG position he's not an MVP candidate. Stop Russ wasn't even a PG when he came into the league honestly. But now he's averaging almost 12 a game. Ok, Russ was rebounding like this before he's added to his game. All around he's added to it. Meanwhile IT4 has gotten us to the #1 spot nd he's not even in the convo.
D Mac Lol could Kobe play all 5 position nah. Kobe only played 1 SG. Kobe better than LeBron 😂😂😂. LeBron even out marketed him. I wish ppl wouldn't compare. LeBron will never be MJ, but LeBron took over that hype when MJ left. I admit Kobe did his thing throughout the years. Honestly are we tlkn more about Kobe now, or LeBron nd MJ????
D Mac lol Bron can play PG, SG, SF, PF nd Center. Idk what you trying to get at. I know what I see when Bron plays. He's bigger nd faster than anybody. Nd you must be a Bron hater, lmao. It's cool man, have a nice day..
D Mac here's the thing. I said Bron can play all 5 position. Not he goes out there every night nd plays these 5. Yes finals matchup I've seen Bron play center. Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics, Heat vs Spurs. He went PF to Heat vs OKC finals. See that's where y'all get it twisted. Kobe played those positions during playoffs. Kobe was nd always will be a SG. After TMac got old he stayed at SG. During the NBA finals Boston vs Lakers Kobe played SF last year they won cause KG nd Pierce got old on us. Rondo couldn't guard him nd Kobe started defending Rondo. Speak facts nd never misconstrue my words. Bron best 5 way player out here. My opinion. You wanna debate me bro get a podcast 😂😂😂
D Mac nd you are a Bron hater in my book. I specifically talked about Russ only thing you gathered was Bron. Get off my post mayne.
Rebounds are the unsung hero of basketball. They end possessions or give you more offensive opportunities.
thunders is so in so(ie 30 w vs 10L) when wb has td is faulty/circular argument... of course when the opponents miss more there is naturally more deffensive rebounds which his teammates are boxing out for him and when his teammates are hitting shots there is more assists for him
I could listen to Colin rip on Russ all day hahahah
Spencer Anderson he's right
The Gaming King Hes wrong... How could anybody discredit what Westbrook is doing... The hate is real
you know why no one else has gotten a triple double? because no team needs its guards to get 10 rebounds a night. for a guard to get 10 rebounds every single night his team must "allow" it to happen.
what about the team he's playing against?? are the allowing him to smh
+Marco Warren in a sense they are letting him because guards don't get boxed out. when's the last time you saw someone get boxed out on the perimeter? A large portion of westbrook's double digit rebounds would have fallen in the hands of his bigs anyway. Most bigs don't appreciate guards who do this as rebounds are the way a lot of big guys make their contracts.
james harden is responsible for 57 points a game the most ever by a player
Avrami Barasch wrong! he scored 55 for the record and then westbroook broke harden's record by scoring 57 in a triple double. Case closed.
no points and assist combined most points responsible for ever
Because he has 4 of the top 20 three point shooters in the league and also is on the team that has made the most 3 pointers in a season....DUH
Yo can someone please tell me the tune in the background at around 8:15?
Alex Robert The Game - Ryda
Anytime a person puts their heart and soul to an effort it matters. But I get the argument.
lebron couldn't do this even if he tried . he's all about that resting life
A. Ortega Russ won't be a 3 time champion or go to 6 going on 7 straight NBA finals
+QCW Russ has also never had a cakewalk to the finals 7 consecutive years
QCW so don't take away the accomplishment. of Russell. this is mvp worthy. if LeBron or anyone did this then they. would easily. win mvp don't u agree ..
QCW I can promise you that if the thunder were in the east they would easily make the Conference Finals.
People like you are why people hate sports debates
Westbrook is making history but he's not efficient enough to be a MVP he doesn't contest threes he's basketball iq is very low everyone wants to give him the MVP because he averages a triple double 😑
And curry has a higher 3p percentage than Westbrook's field goal percentage just shows you how inefficient Westbrook actually is
Michael Johnson iverson was on the east first seed Westbrook's at sixth
Why are you underestimating triple doubles prettyboyflavio
isnt efficent but has the highest player efficency rating lol.
Almon Joseph what about he's terrible field goal percentage
Man Chris Broussard has to be the best NBA analyst in the game he knows every player from like start to now and just has very good takes and just knowledge if you don't like him u don't know basketball.
