Russell Westbrook’s NBA career is coming to a sad end. Even his biggest fans have to admit he underachieved ever since Kevin Durant left him in OKC. But there’s one other way Russ can join the best players of all time. - Sport
Westbrook was the only clipper that was giving it their all and Powell that one game he dropped 40, if he didn't have that clutch block in game 1 they would have lost he may have had a bad game 5 but all and all he was amazing
russ is one of my favorite players and i truly wish him the best
Russ on da Heat would be so dope, I think thats the perfect spot for him along side Jimmy. He has that mentality and its the only place that he can redeem himself cause he would be the #2 option and the #1 some nights, he just gotta bring the defense and that intensity. I can see him averaging trip-dubs again there and maybe even an All-Star reserve, im praying this happens. Imaging Russ on the Finals and winning a ring with the Heat, that would cement his HOF spot instantly.
Great idea, however, I think it’s undeniable that he’s already a HOF player
@@Avogadros_number to me he is First Ballot but the way he is ending his career and the fact that he has never had succes in the in the playoffs, I can see some voter doubting it. But if Harden makes it, he gotta make it, they are both cut from the same cloth (Jimmy Butler, Harden, Westbrook,PG13, Draymond & Lillard) are in that class of posible Hall of Famers with some doubts.
Him on heat would horrible with the spacing with bam jimmy and him no sure
@@davyunwashington3613 Believe me, spacing is not the problem, he had success in OKC with Adams, Roberson & Sabonis who had horrible a bad shooting season. Non of them shot more than 2.3 3PG and 30% from 3 in Russ MVP season, in fact that team only had 2 players that averaged 36% from 3 that season (Oladipo 5.2 3PA & Grant 1.5 3PA). The main problem is that Russ needs the ball in his hands most of the time and you see that worked great in the 2 seasons with PG13 (who had his best season playing with Russ) so I think Butler, Bam and all dem shooters will work great with Russ. And im not a Russ fan, I would take Lillard first but Russ will be basically free and u can add more in the off-season meanwhile u got to give Herro + another 2 player + 2/3 picks to get him. Imagine Russ/Herro/Jimmy/Bruce Brown/Bam 🔥
@@TooTrendyEntnah most hof players spent years as role players at the end of their careers playing 10 times worse than russ
I want the disrespect to end as much as anyone but labelling him as a potential goat is a bit over the top
I mean prime Russ invented the phrase “I got that dog in me” but I can see t where it is a little over til he top to say the goat
goat in business as an athlete not in basketball...
He means a GOAT of business
He said "A GOAT," which means "a greatest of all-time player." Sure, that might not be the best phrasing. A better way of saying it is "an all-time great." But no matter how you slice it, he wasn't claiming that Russ is the GOAT.
Bro didn’t watch the video😂
Russ, if he gets a ring, will be undoubtedly one of the most loved players in nba history
he isn't winning it with the clippers, his best chance is to go back to okc and win it in there title run.
@@swish1457 Tbh if PG and Kawhi were healthy (yeah I know wishful thinking), they would have given the Nuggets a run for their money.
He’s just a stat padder
no, he wont
Nah he trash
If I had a dollar for every time this dude says “but first” I would be a billionaire faster than Russ
This video is all over the place. 😅 Russ's hopes to be rich seem a weird topic given that the NBA finals could end tonight.
He's mad that the nuggets proved him wrong
@@scuproductions he also said Russ is a terrible playoff player going into this post season 💀
The man won in life. He made 100s of millions, has a good wife, beautiful children. He gives a lot to his community has never gotten in any trouble, never cheated the fans who come and pay to be entertained.
Suggestion: A deep dive into players that went broke and why
Zion Williamson…girlfriends
This is a great story and I definitely hope he another great athletes that think this way reach their goals !!!
Spencer is super dope! His videos are awesome!
Great vid AM. Love your vids
Who is here after he signed for 4m a year
I Will Always Love Russ❤
My favorite thing about russ is that even though he is struggling in the court he stays aggressive, not like butler after game 2 of the ECF he became so passive not even attacking
And again in game 5. 🤦🏽♂️
The Problem is that Russ is always struggling on the floor 😂
@isidroundercover ikr🤦♂️, every time he is struggling and he tries even harder, it is almost guaranteed a blooper. But at least he tries to do his job at a high level
nice video dude. No drama this time.
It's perfect for the Clippers. Having Russ Westbrook be "The Man" during the regular season means Kawhi can "load manage" literally all 82 regular season games and P George can even sit out 50 if he wants to. Miami has shown that just getting the 8th seed is enough to get to the Finals. I don't know how they hope to beat the Kings, Lakers, Warriors and Nuggets though.
As a raptors fan, I would love him to come to Toronto IF we trade Siakam in some package for scoot so that russ can mentor him.
So happy he made a Russ video
We love when am hoops post
Yes we do ❤
Man ppl put Stockton Payton Nash in the all time pg conversation... I don't know how Westbrook can't be put in the same convo... top 5 pg ever
He and Jordan will forever be my two favourite players.
I think you neglect to mentioned Magic Johnson. He has recently acquire a stake of the Washington commanders to his business portfolio. I believe that Magic calling names served a motivation for Westbrook seeking to prove that he can be a better businessperson.
As a knicks fan I really respect Russ
Finally the disrespect to BEASTBROOK is ending
Prime Russ’ nickname is Bestbrook
LOL. He will suck again next year....
Westbrick ain't the same
it’s westbrick he’s not a beast anymore lol 😂
@@DaMeaun westbrick? You call having 30 points in La without there 2 stars in back to back games you call that bricking
He was a current goat of my at a time
He actually could have been a GOAT player IF he wasn’t so stubborn and actually learned how to shoot better. If he was a career 38-40% three point shooter yes he’d be a GOAT pg because the rest of his game and his athleticism was that good.
I hope Russ strikes it big but he needs that business iq to do so so I hope he stays learning
If Steph Curry was 6'8, he would have probably been top 3 by the end of his career. If magic scored more and played defense, he would have been a top 3 player of all time. You see what I mean, stop the ifs and buts. I can apply that template to every great player.
His ball iq too low to be in any goat convo
@@someshsaharan5813 nah, continue the ifs and buts. it’s interesting and makes you think
@@someshsaharan5813give me more examples
@@illicit1097 nah, take curry for context. Was relatively unknown for the initial 3-4 years of his career, and now he is unarguably a top 10-12 of all time. What I mean to say is a lot of players who had their careers shortened due to injuries could have been as good as their peers who had stellar careers. Health, knees and such issues are often not in their hands. But Russ could learn to shoot, he should have developed an IQ which he shows to miss a lot of times. Ifs and buts shouldn't apply equally to everyone.
im not even gonna lie, "Westbrook Autoparts" just sounds like a good brand lol, just has a good ring to it
Russ has a good family life with Nina. She’s very smart and Russ is business savvy. Behind every great man is a great woman, and I think Nina is gonna be that for Russ. Russ gets a lot of hate because he’s very animated on the court. But he’s actually a super nice guy. He just hates the media.
I'm surprised Steph Curry hasn't capitalized more on his success. If westbrick can do all this while sitting on the bench imagine Steph's potential
Russ is on another lvl he is such a good person
To be fair if all his ventures turn a profit that'd quite impressive already
Russell Westbrick my idol ❤
Westbrook to the Heat 🔥
As a Westbrook supporter this hurts 😢
Russ is my goat
He's just grinding hard and he loves his fans. Always shows up
Ben Simmons 👀
Even if his 50-100 mil investment goes to dust. He still has a couple of playing years left as well as his other more stable businesses. He’s set for life no doubt.
I love westbrook
Honestly Russ deserves it, one of my favourite players of all time
Malcolm Brogdon your next video A.M. Hoops 🙏🙏🙏
That interest is tough to see if it can even pace inflation.
Who knew russ has real business acumen. Word king.
I dont think Russ gives out turkeys for vanity, hes just a nice guy.
isn't the guy you're talking about at the end the wendys guy he played like 2 seasons in the made like a couple hundred thousand and invested in wendys right?
I love russ
Re: GOAT in the title. I think it refers to being the most successful athlete in business, not on the court.
If he won a ring in OKC and the Lakers season just straight up never happened he would be top 15 all time
@@shoreZ Um...I'd have to contemplate that.
The stats are historic for sure, but they haven't led to titles, not all of which was under his control.
He's one of a kind for sure. The combination of athleticism and motor is off the charts.
i really hope russ stays with the clippers 😊
GOAT = Greatest Of All Trades
Check soccer player Michel Flamini. From slighty above average contracts in the teams he passed to now having a networth of 12.6Billion dollars.
At the end of the day Russ is a good man.💯👍🍾😎
Obsession with charity is a good indicator of insecure about image, being selfish isn't inherently a bad thing
Your segways are on fleek!
Westbro is a brother
His son was getting picked on thats why he lashed out on fans he was standing up to his last name
Goatbrick
So what’s you’re saying is that high performing business people and high performing athletes are both driven by fragile egos… I mean the vanity metric of reaching $1 billion says it all. These people are set for life after the first few million but yet they always want more. If it was really about “helping people in the community” they would never reach a billion dollars in the first place.
Russ is still a decent PG, his time at the lakers was an apparent debacle. He redeemed his image with the clippers. Love him or hate him, he’ll always be Russ 🍷
I didn't know a ringless person could be the goat.
A.I??
@@theshooterman3 He's vastly overrated
@@Akniy oh mah lawd come awn dood like hawnestly
He can't dunk. He too small. He selfish.
@@davidwilliams316 excuse me AI was a different breed
Not gonna lie Casey your "But first" makes me laugh everytime and I appreciate it
Good chance the Chargers could go for sale and Russ can swing and be a minority owner. Could sky rocket his investment if the Chargers become an NFL dynasty
He is talking about the goat of business y’all clearly didn’t watch the vid
Someone count how many times he says “but first!”
Well no matter what happens to Russ. He will always be remembered as Skip would say: "One, Russell West-Brick." In a skirt. 💃 😄
8:51 mayweather also?
Floyd Mayweather's career earnings are over $1B+. But his net worth is somewhere around ~$500M these days. Too many sports cars...
Don't you get a retirement found from the NBA you'd think you would live off that
westbrick
Love u Russ
Russell Westbrook A.K.A Westbrick!
honestly for a guy like westrbrook the only reason to keep playing would be for the love of the game. he could make MUCH more money if he spend his time in new investment opportunities with his enormous amount of wealth. 3.8 million a year to spend this much time on basketball would probably lose him money as crazy as that sounds. so if he comes back to play (which i firmly believe in) you know hes all in on basketball.
yo you missed floyd mayweather in the billionaire athletes club
He should join prime lol
Are you kidding me it took the highest usage rate in nba history at 40 percent for him to win an mvp. He has always been a below average 3 point shooter at a position that is statistically more easier to shoot threes. Don’t get me wrong Westbrook is a hall of famer but his low 3 point percentage doesn’t unlock enough real estate under the basket.
Russ should get a ring before Harden
You know what…the NBA should buy a huge mansion. Stock it full of stuff that an NBA player needs to live. Have a certified veteran volunteer to stay with guys like Ja & Zion to teach them how to function like a professional basketball player lol.
Or just hold mandatory seminars to explain the roadblocks to navigating the NBA lifestyle…they done that before didnt they?
They have seminars, these guys don't listen.
Russ is a ballhog and pads his stats a bit but he is without doubt been one of the best players in the league for over a decade. LeGM ruined the lakers by oushing for that trade and is about to do it again trying to get kyrie
I didn't know Tyler Herro had a CZcams Channel
Not funny
@@BixeqeShorts I didn't know that was funny
when russ faces kd in the playoffs michael jordan takes over his body
He already is a GOAT. I do not like his game. I am extremely critical of him as a player. He is a GOAT though. He averaged a triple-double for multiple seasons and won an MVP trophy. He a GOAT.
Stop.
@@3self if AI a goat so is he. Facts.
I would love for Russ to join the Nuggets. Best chance to win a ring and can be a good backup point guard (if his mind is right). Brings hustle and defense and can play off of Jokic.
You swear he’d be cool with taking a backseat to Murray. Russ’s ego wouldn’t allow it even tho Murray is clearly a winner and Russ… isn’t
Brings defense??? 😂😂😂😂
@@ry_an. wym
@@BixeqeShorts Westbrook doesn’t bring defense. Brings the opposite of that actually
@@ry_an. Westbrook plays defense
Magic is the 3th NBA billionaire now.
If he buys Invidia, Apple, Microsoft and Tesla, he could get there in less than 5 years. Guaranteed.
Sign the New York Knicks or LA Clippers or Brooklyn Nets!
Honestly my issues with Russ don’t even stem so much from him as his fans. Russ fans are like D Rose fans, they swear he is so much greater than he actually is and has been. Is Russ a top 75 player all time? Yes. He is NOT top 3 in his position all time though and I have seen SEVERAL people try to say that
He needs to start his own women’s clothing line
It's amazing we can just say, "chicken-washer owned businesses get special treatement" and that's just normal.
O’Russell Auto Parts
Russell investbrook
Russ best fit in Wizards next season 💪🔥💪
*You mean if he can be the next goat of money."*
easy billion would be befriending a middle eastern prince and business partnering with them.
I think he should make a shoe company
Russ to raptors plzzz
As a Clips fan I don't want Westbrook back. He wasn't the disaster he was with the Lakers, but if you look at win-loss before and after Russ it's clear he didn't make a difference in the big picture.
I like Westbrook....off the court....he's a good guy. On the court he's a roller coaster of great plays one minute and bonehead mistakes the next. If only his hoops IQ matched his athleticism and energy.
But point guard isn't the big issue for this team. Their Big Two can't stay off the IL. I think the Kawhi-PG experiment can be declared a failure. Time to move on. I do trust Ballmer and his front office. Banners will eventually hang in Intuit Arena.
I think Clippers need to move off Kawhi and PG. Kawhi used to be my favorite player but he just can't stay on the court. Clippers load managed him all season and all they got out of him was 2 playoff games before he got injured again. And PG always gets the freakiest injuries and when he plays, it's hit-and-miss. Not a true alpha. PG would be a perfect player on a big 3, where he's the #3 best player. Kind of like Beal on Phoenix right now.
Biggest problem with Russ is that he can't shoot. He gets hot every once in a while but most of the time, he's a bricklayer. I don't understand how someone can play as long as he can and not be able to shoot. He's kind of like Lebron in the sense that they are both so athletically gifted that they never bothered to work on their jump shots. In any case, Clippers aren't winning anything because both Kawhi and PG will be injured again either before next year's playoffs or in the first or 2nd round.
Point guard isn't a big issue, but Russ is still an amazing player to have 😂. He loves the clippers too, considering he just resigned for 4 million a year. What's not to appreciate about Russ? He can take over whenever your injury prone phonies are out, and he's able to play different roles for the benefit of the team.
@@Enthusiast230 His hoops IQ is single digits. His turnover-to-assist ratio sucks. He can't consistently score outside the paint.
@@pfpchad2747 LeBron is much more efficient outside the paint than Russ.
Westbrook is not only a lousy shooter but constantly makes mistakes.
All I heard was Russ was over charging people for cars in Cali omfg
Russ is kinda underrated ngl
All Cars are gonna go electric real soon idk 🤷♂️ about that idea. Aren't the KHAN FAMILY IN THE CAR INDUSTRY AS WELL. THEY OWN THE JAGUARS AND A SOCCER TEAM AND AEW WRESTLING SO U NEVER KNOW 🎉🎉🎉
Trevor👉Taiwan
Is he actually retiring like woj said
Can you please make a timberwolves rebuild
Trade kat and gobert for some draft picks or young players and build around ant. He is gonna be that guy and he needs talent around him.
