- LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers opted not to part ways with Russell Westbrook at the trade deadline, choosing instead to keep future assets rather than attaching them to Westbrook to dump his salary. Despite currently sitting in ninth in the West, the Lakers are reportedly quote: 'not ready to pull the ripcord on that Russell Westbrook experiment... they feel like the team, the coach, the coaching staff, everybody has not done enough to say this isn’t going to work. Russell Westbrook is a future Hall of Famer. There are different ways that he can be used.' Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe share whether they accept LeBron's Lakers moving forward with Russ or not.

Anthony Davis, is loving the media coverage of Westbrook. He's been mostly flying under the radar with his lackluster effort, and performance. He is supposedly a top 75 player of all time?
He's not top 100 or 200
That’s what I’ve been saying all year. AD is to blame. After winning in 2020 AD was supposed to take over and be the best player on the team. But it’s like he’s regressing. He won a chip and got soft
@@brandonhill1542 hot soft.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣....he been this way, bubble ad was a fluke, he always been sometimish
Dude had 7 rebounds in like 40 minutes and took 11 shots. What is that?
Drop him (Anthony Davis) in 25 years when the NBA cooks up their 100 Greatest Players. Maybe the NBA can drop a few other '51-75' players so he won't feel picked on.
4:00 - 5:28 - the Christian Wood slander was unexpected but still hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
I love when they do unbiased segments like these. It’s like watching two best friends talk basketball that still end up with a bet at the end 😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
Good lord man I’m not the biggest Russ fan but trying to keep blaming him for all of this is not his fault . Have yet to see anyone publicly call out AD other than Shannon ,AD is supposed to be in his prime and is playing like a role player he has no impact on the game.
Russ has been pitiful. Worse than ad. The only thing i agree with is ad not playing at the level he can
You mean Crystal Davis? 🤣
@@kdude1300 they blame everything mostly on Russ ignoring the fact AD been underperforming & is softer than noodles. If AD is mentioned on any media outlet other than from Shannon than it’s quickly put aside and back to Russ. He’s out 1 game & the Lakers effort was exposed still. Russ is not the majority of the blame.
I have yet to see anyone publicly call out Lebron's zero defense and his horrible leadership.
@@MrGenexxx lmao that's what everyone does. But he is 37 man
They want to keep Westbrook to keep blaming him 💯💯🔥🔥
Big facts lol
lmao
You’ve been listening to skip to much…..what sense does that make
@@Trip.L.L.L everybody has forgotten that they were already garbage when he got there. Now he's the scapegoat.
Except no one’s buying that so it’d make no sense imo
They have us 2 days of football then back to Westbrook 😂😂😂
2 days of rigged games
Lol so true
@@Kakiya it was the Rams home field hosting their super bowl lol they definitely weren’t going to have them lose in their own stadium.
It’s more interesting
Football season is over.
The way shannon said seriously with so much confidence after talking about all the problems my lakers having made me roll over laughing. This dude one of the best personalities ever on TV
Damn we not gonna talk about Giannis 50pt 14reb game or the celtics blowing out the 76ers by 48? Russ and AD struggling and lebron putting up empty offensive stats we get it lol
They talked about it relax bruh & I really don’t get when y’all nitpick LeBron saying he put up empty stats but if that man was out there averaging 15 points you would be saying he’s getting carried 😑
Ratings unfortunately
Try watching the actual show instead of picking clips and crying
LeBron is still the face of the NBA lol the more they talk about the lakers it helps them and lakers make money. If I’m not mistaken the show takes place in LA . Nothing more than easy ratings
Before you complain try watching the actual show and not just the youtube clips you would know they did talk about giannis
The moment everyone was waiting for ... @16:16
“Put 2 cases on it!” 😂
He cant help himself 😂
Wood is averaging 18ppg 10rebs 37% from 3 and he only makes 14 mill a year for 2 more years, he would’ve been a nice pick up
I mean last game against the Warriors it wasn’t even Russ’s fault. How about we give LeBron & AD the same energy ….
Im not fan of the bashing, but they did show all of Le Brons mistakes yesterday
They Hate Russ Smh
Adisney needs to play third wheel, this isn’t working with adisney as the 1st and 2nd option. Promote Russ to 2nd option, adisney is holding back Russ.
There not even talking about the lakers winning a game they just go straight bashing Westbrook
There not talking about how the lakers won as whole just Westbrook
From guaranteed rings after the trade to “They’re stuck with him!” and “addition by subtraction” postulation. Entertaining stuff guys.
Who ever said guaranteed rings? Literally not one person said this. Maybe laker fans but not the media
@@JTDavis3100 Shannon, the co host of this show did
@@cousinwil5808 he said that “if anyone can fix/ figure out how to play with Russ, it’s Lebron James. He never ever said they were the favorite to win the title. At most he might’ve said they be favorites in the west.
@@JTDavis3100 you’ll be okay Panda pal, enjoy!
@@cousinwil5808 lol I mean I know I will, why can’t people have discourse anymore 😞
AD has definitely under performed the most by far out of any of our "big 3" idek if we can call it that anymore. 17% from 3 and barely 70% from the FT line is just unacceptable, especially for him
Shannon's impersonation of Russ's celebrations finished me 😂
This show is dedicated to the Lakers
They are both some LEBRON JAMES JOCKSTRAP SNIFFERS for sure.
You just come to CZcams and watch clips in which they talk about the Lakers and then say they only talk about the Lakers. Please try to watch the show itself and not the extract about the Lakers. The show doesn't last 15 or 17 minutes.
@@rogerk.9124 maybe they should upload the other clips
AD is the softest “superstar” that’s ever played
Tied with Ben Simmons
aged well
Skip & Shannon's basketball takes are gold 😂
Might as well change the name to Skip & Shannon: UNDISPUTED present by Russell Westbrook
Keep that same energy - LeBron 2021
lmao
Never getting old destroying Russ... 😂😂😂
At the end of the day, lebron wanted Russ and he assembled this team
Thank you sir
You don't know that. You heard rumors and bought into it. Pelinka is the GM for a reason.
@@NotebookLives another lebron stan spotted. Did you not hear skip the last episode read the lakers had a package with the kings at the start of the season & lebron insisted on getting russ ?
@@NotebookLives Before 2018-2019 season, Magic went to Lebron's house and talked over the roster decisions with him.
Why don't they ever talk about how russ used to shoot 80% from the free throw before the NBA forced him to change his F/T routine when he would walk almost to half way before each shot
Interesting point.....they would just say that he needs to adjust. Good point in any case
Either he gonna make it or not. Don’t care where he walk to
nba forced him to change? LUL wut?
@@deshamallah2265 I do agree with you, but routine is definitely important. I would always dribble about 3 times & swirl the ball in my hand 3 times, then shoot. It was money every time. But, you're right: either you can shoot or you can't.
He changed his shot in general, he had good form in okc now his shot is different
Giannis dropped 50 and they talk about Russ smh
they talked about Giannis in another segment
Russ sells 😵
Try watching the actual show and not just the youtube clips before you complain about what they did and didn't talk about
I liked how Shannon brought up Russ being on Shaqtin a fool
Man AD is tripping Shan right and I agree with Skip as well.
Russ say sittn on da bench got his back hurting 🤣
Last two losses aren't on Russ so we gotta find a new culprit.
But every other game was his fault so he’s still the culprit lmao
@@lanceloses No it wasn't.
@@lanceloses casual
Russ or vogel always gets the blame
We have g league players cause a guy we can't rely is sitting on the bench with the biggest salary of the team.
THE WAY SKIP EXPLAINED THE JOHN WALL & WESTBROOK SWAP REALLY DID MAKE SENSE , FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN LIFE LMAO
Can't go a day without dragging Westbrook's name through the mud smh
Well he suck this year, and he’s the highest paid. They are literally throwing out Statistical facts and y’all still defending the bad play.
I mean he could play better and shut then up ...
Yeah because he's the most overrated player in NBA history.
@@FirstNameLastName-hz4kv russ played great against the warriors and neither skip nor Shannon said a word about it. Lebron and AD couldn’t beat the blazers w out Russ then choke against the warriors while the entire rest of the team played well. I’m tired of hearing this Russ is the problem bs when lebron and AD can’t even beat anfernee and nurkic lmao
Russ does it to himself
Skip: seriously?
Shannon: SeRiOoUsLly!?!
😂😂😂
Can we please get them to mute Skip's mic while Shannon is talking. FFS there's only so many times one should hear "mmmmm."
Bruh Shannon, that bet at the end? Way to stay with the burning ship until the end 😆 💜💛
LeBron found new scapegoat!!! Good job LeBron... Never fails😂😂😂
I like that Skip--Shannon you’re hard headed
Wood would have been one of the best big man pairing with AD had the Lakers gotten him. Also agree with Skip's John Wall point
Why isnt shannon blaming lebron like he blamed KD for harden? Westbrook doesn't get to LA without lebron's consent.
Lol right cause he just blamed kd on the other topic for putting that team together. Shannon is goofy
Problem.. Lakers dont have an offensive coach as well??
They just.. Air heads wandering around
Lebron shoots 9 for 27, 5 TO's. AD gets 6 rebounds the last game, but lets keep piling on Russ who played the best game out of those three! Hard to listen or take the F....ing media serious any more!
They did blast AD and Bron the last game for not winning that game. Brody been bad for a majority of the season
Russ sucks. Has sucked all year. Do you have eyes???? Doesn’t play defense, doesn’t play offense, turnover machine. Can’t even finish at the rim. And all for the highest paid player on the team. It was a gamble, they went for it, and lost big time.
@@SS-cs6wt sad so say it but your right I’ve never seen a superstar like Russ play bad all season
@@kennethnewman2706 He hasn't? You people have _selective_ recency bias. I.e, ignore the recent part just focus on the bad _recent_ ones.
Hint: The best Lakers lineups _ALL_ include Russ. Not AD, not Lebron. Russ isn't the issue, AD and Lebron simply can't play together anymore. The only lineup where those two were successful guess what? It has Russ in it.
Russ is terrible, what are you watching?
🤭@17:04 Shannon Caught himself from cussing. Im dying ☠💀🤣 Perfect timing ⏰
They need to get rid of the 2 GM's, Pelinka and Lebron.
As predictable as this show is im still addicted 🤦🏾♂️
Shannon: "Oh, we got them!! 🙄"
Skip: "Well, do you?? 👀"
Shannon: "🤨..... *PUT TWO CASES ON IT!!"*
Skip: 😮😮
AD barely even a top 5 big guy now.
Shannon never comments on LeBron misses and mistakes
I love how excited skip got when they made that bet
It's funny how Shannon talks about Russ but lebron can't hit his free throws plus he misses his shots along with AD
He's shooting almost 80% from the line try again you gotta actually look up bron stats before talking crazy
@@LowskiLow what percentage was he last game? Out his last 3? Aww ok
@@scottieherron7585 he didn't say last game his comment was bron misses free throws....speaking in a general term...his free throw numbers say different...79% awh okay that 🤡🤡
Unc saying “who?” Reminded me of snoops all time great WHO? meme 😂
It’s crazy how you blame an ENTIRE season on 1 player
Exactly Lakers were in the Play-in last season
Man fk Westbrook ! I said it back in his okc days dude has bad basketball iq trying to play hero ball all the time
AD get 34 & 15 Lakers lose
LeBron gets 40 Lakers lose
Russ goes 10-15 with 1 turnover.. Lakers lose.
Poor FT shooting, poor defense and unforced turnovers are the biggest reasons LA is under 500. It's not about 1 player but Russ bad is REALLY bad.
LMAO at Shannon - PUT TWO CASES ON IT!
Did they "keep" him or did nobody else want him.
I’m not even into sports at all but this is hilarious 😆
Skip says Westbrook is the scapegoat but blames him continuously. Lebron and AD aren't playing well either.
LeBron played literally one bad game, probably all season. I watched every game. AD is the one who has had a rollercoaster-ride the last 2 seasons. We can't blame a guy for having one bad game, man. It's not right.
@@NotebookLives You can't be serious! Dude hasn't gotten back on defense all damn season!
You james fans are comedy...🤣😂
@@NotebookLives You Should Start Watching The Games. Bron Cost Us About 10 Games This Season 😂
Rely on Russ?
They dont know how or what to do with him. They need teamwork.. Within the 2point court.
To help move the ball around or closer to the net to score
LMFAOOOO “ HE SHOULD’VE HELPED HOUSTON” HAD ME ROLLING OVER HERE 😭😭😭😭
Russ never played with a team like this So it's ah different feeling
AD has not played well consistently and is hurt a lot. He should dominate and he doesn’t smh
AD should be way more accountable he’s 28 in his prime and performances are way below his potential, he’s scared to take the wheel
Westbrick was good with Beal last year. Westbrick was good with Harden they were on a tear til the injury. KD and Westbrick were a good duo. LeBron can't adjust, that's it lol
And how many rings were won with Westbrook? Why does a proven winner have to adjust to a guy that has been a playoff choker and hasn’t won a ring.
Wow for the first time Skip and Shannon are agreeing with each other in different topics 😮
AD this year: 23.3 ppg 9.9 reb .53 FG% 2.3 blk 1.2 stl
Shannon Sharpe: He HaSn'T bEeN gOoD tHiS sEaSoN. Every body agrees 🤓
Harden: 22.5 ppg .41 FG% .33 3pt% 4.8 TOVs
Stats are skewed. You can have 1 crazy game where you put up amazing stats and 2 bad games afterwards but the averages would make it look like you played well over 3 games
@lost only casuals look at stats to see how good someone is actually playing
Everyone says Harden isn’t playing good either so
@@lostinawareness7979 lol AD been consistent, his jumper just not fallin rn , but he’s played pretty solid since he’s gotten back
@@buttkicker900 I didn't say anything about AD. I was just saying that stats are flawed
In a way...
We going to have to put up with him
Correct him. Shooting forms..
Russ to be more
playable.. Like DeRoZan..
Areas of 2point court.. Where he can make.
I wonder if they’re gonna talk about PG and Kwai at the Super Bowl 😂
Honestly wish the lakers traded Russ so i don't have to hear the media talking about him every day. I'm not a Russ fan blaming him for all the lakers problems is not fair
how do you think i feel being a russ fan since 2015
U guys is the best and most accurate sports guys ever. And u guys are so funny. I think u guys are brothas from anotha mutha. God bless the both of u 🙏
When Russ ain’t play they still lost , Russ clearly isn’t the problem AD is how is he a top 5 player and isn’t playing like it
there not gonna talk about that tho
@@chris870 of course they not , they put so much blame on Russ i thought he was the only person playing
d12 shoulda been top 75 over that fool
@@marquisfelder3170 facts AD career no where near as good as Dwight
@@chris870 they did talk about AD Fool 😂
LEBITCH the reason why. The first year he was feeding him the ball. That's why he was the assist leader. Now LEBITCH is hogging the ball more taking way more shots so AD is not really in the flow of game
how is he hogging the ball when he has the 2nd lowest usage rate of his career????????????
@@huntersartin I am not talking about his career. I am talking about recently
That's right make them play it out if coach Vog start Dwight Howard at center AD at 4 spot they would be alot better on defense where they need help and rebounding b/c this rotation is using is not helping
Rusty an AD in the paint has to work can be good passers rebound or put backs
Westbrook had hella good games with Lakers dont forget
I love how Skip builds up Westbrick, just so he can tear him down even further.
Rely on Russ??
Tell Russ to Go Fetch the Ball Back to Lebron.
After Lebron misses his half court shots...
I wonder sometimes about sports and how they day in and day out have it out for certain players.. kyrie Russ and kd
What i can't understand is the Lakers exposed Russ two years ago. Russ is one of the reasons why they became champs during the bubble playoffs to begin with. Then, you go and say "I want me some of that." Why??? 🤦♂️
Good point
Shannon bugging I got the jazz too lol
Skip Bayless's lack of appreciating first round picks is what gave Detroit the 2nd pick in 2003 to possibly draft Carmelo, Wade or Bosh after they built their contending team for Otis Thorpe in trade years prior. Its also what allowed the Lakers to draft James Worthy in 1982 as the number 1 pick after winning the title. Its also what the Mavericks did to build their contender in the 80s by ripping off Ted Stepien for his first round picks. Know your bball history Bayless. This is why teams are hesitant to trade future first rounders especially an old team like the Lakers that will have to rebuild soon.
I swear without Russ these 2 wouldn’t know who to slander in the world of sport it’s just sad how they disrespect this guy like he’s the main and only issue the Lakers are bad.
They should be slandering Pat Mahomes for throwing the championship game
Not the only, but definitely the BIGGEST problem.
Agreed, it’s ridiculous
Bron could really used a Kyrie type of player at this point in his career
Bench him and make him more that way.. he needs to go. He's never been good enough. Players shouldn't be able to not show up just because they were benched.
Love these stories
They have an out. Dump AD with Russ somewhere for 3 & D guys and draft picks. That’s usually the best supporting cast for Lebron anyhow. 😆
Lakers should’ve traded THT & Nunn for Eric Gordon
Everybody but LeFraud Blames!!! LeFraud Blames is accountable!!! He’s been horrendous! He’s not about team chemistry. He’s about padding his stats. You lose. Then you blame Westbrook. Then you blame AD???? Wow!
18-8-8 is better than the career average for most of the current year All Stars.
He doesn’t suck.
This is premium scapegoating.
Talk about Giannis
Shannon rocked the baby!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
The worst hands in all of basketball is such a blasphemous statement. They are prisoners of the moment. Westbrook used to have one the best body controls in proportion to his explosion when he was in his prime. Watched his entire MVP season. The control he had of the ball and the whole team was amazing. The only reason he lost in the 1st round that year was because everytime he left the floor they made no plays and lost the whole lead. Now he is past his prime, any fan can see it but he is keeps telling himself he can still do it and it's a problem
18:43 Lmao
John Wall can at least shoot. We needed another defender in the paint with Wood. We missed out. We’ve taken all these other plunges
Shannon Sharpe and Keyshawn Johnson really think they play for the Lakers.
Idk I feel like Utah about win tonight lol
Shannon is wrong here. Lakers have 3 traceable assets they can package. Tht. Reeves and monk. For a pG that can shoot and play D. Also adding the pick of the other team tosses rebounding big man. Keep nunn. Melo ad. Lbj. Dwight. Plus the PG. release baze. Ariza. Dj. Keep Stanley. Explore free agency next year to bolster bench. Buy out Russ.
This season isn’t over. It’s close to it but they continue to play him thus messing everything from good energy to IQ to developing already way better younger players SMH 🤦♂️
There's a shirt or caption for u..."STUCK WITH RUSS"😎 OR BUST LOL
I always heard that "one guy" makes all his teammates better? Not the case anymore?????
12:24 Skip was gonna say "LeBrick them" lol
Rebuild the team around Austin Reaves and Malik Monk.
If the lakers make the playoffs it would be sheer emotion and passion to win the championship
You are in L.A. same as NYC or Chicago, you need to attend to the media questions winning or losing
