Is Russell Westbrook a Top 8 player in the NBA?
yes
Absolutely
1 kd
2 kahwi
3 LeBrON
4 harden
5 curry
6 Giannis
7 pg13
8 Joel embiid
9 LiLLard
10 Westbrick
@@kristian2699 kd is not 1
Top 10 yeah who is better than him under 10 ?
Played against Westbrook in highschool. Trust me when I tell you he was not a 4 star recruit. His success has been a testament of hard work and determination.
What was he like ?
@@devon6229 he was small and if you could believe it quiet and kinda shy. But always explosive and ridiculous vertical. He played at leuzinger high school which was my school's rival.
GAME_ THEORY Leu House is what they call it right ? But damn that’s crazy to hear about him being quiet and shy when he’s a complete dog on the court.
GAME_ THEORY that’s dope
@@game_theory2547 he was explosive but not his teams primary scorer?
What did Westbrook do to Colin seriously lol
Westbrook slept with Colin's wife. Then Andrew Luck told him about it
Just exist lol
Yup lmao
He probably bet against him and Westbrook proved him wrong and lost Colin a lot of money.
Westbrook is a divisive player. That's just the people you want to talk about on these type of shows.
What's with Colin and the westbrook hate? First he complains about him being a ballhog and now he deferring to PG13 and it's an issue. He's worse than Skip. At least you tell tell when skip is trolling lbj.
He’s trying to take the skip route and attach himself to a great player to enhance his ratings..
the thing is, Colin is a hypocrite but he may not be wrong. Westbrook in terms of efficiency at the basket, as well as shooting has regressed this season, which has led to him deferring more often.
100 OVR Batman Bron he’s shooting 64% at the rim, by far the highest of his career, you gotta know what you talking about before you get in the comments.
100 OVR Batman Bron bro he has more 40+ games than lebron this year .. he is deferring because that's what it takes
I want Westbrook to win a ring so Colin has to take a month off
He would hate so hard. It would be fun to watch how frustrated he would get.
James Harden will stop traveling first before that happens.
He woupdnt give westbrook any credit
Criss Brewsahrd He’s winning one next season.
I don’t agree with all the hate he gets from Colin - but I do agree that I’m not sure if Russ could win a ring as the best player. Although I would love to be wrong just to see Colin’s reaction
KD joined a 73-9 squad, the best shooting team in NBA history essentially, a team that beat him, and won a championship without him. Of course KD is going to play great and his stats are going to look amazing on GSW. He doesn't have to be the best player to win, doesn't have to worry about being doubled or having a bad game because he has Klay, Steph, Dray, Iguadola and Cousins.
Russell Westbrook signed a contract in a small market where the only help he started out with was Adams, he has averaged a tripple double season after season, he has had 2 MVP seasons, won 1 MVP, and now his teammate is having the best NBA season he's ever had, so this defeats Colin's stupid argument about Westbrook not making other players better.
Nice try Colin
KD's stats were amazing in OKC
@@user-ix6ki1ng7j Yep, except when it counted. Playoffs.
2 b fair had Westbrook deferred to Durant as he should of OKC probably would have multiple titles
U know how infuriating it is knowing u have the talent to put a team away but the pg wont feed u?
GSW certainly on the biggest stage let's Durant a now 2x finals MVP take over as he should. He is that good. A 73 win team will but Westbrook wont?
Magic has Kareem and Worthy, that's far better than KD, Curry, and Klay Thompson. Stop the hating. At end of day it doesn't really matter how a team was form.
Robert French KD always has been and always will be a better player than Russ. It’s not even a debate. Russ is sitting at number three amongst point guard while KD is the best player in the league
It’s crazy how people forget how nasty Derrick rose was
Youngkidchris was*
Youngest mvp for a reason. Absolute maniac.
He's still great
The original Westbrook, he was absolutely phenomenal before the injuries
10 assist is 20 to 30 points so it's very meaningful.
Are we sure Westbrook is better than rose before the injuries?
@@tybones2222 Westbrook had exact same stats as rose during his mvp season
@@danielharper5885 rose was 21
Sometimes they're meaningful and sometimes they're not. It can be a misleading stat.
Turnovers are worth 2 assist so deduct accordingly
How did Rapaport became a sports analyst anyway. He's a actor/comedian that loves sports. How do he qualifies for a Fox Sports Analyst?
CBR RICK He just needed two things, an outrageous opinion and an equally outrageous personality.
He's very entertaining. And fans enjoy hearing from another fans prospective on sports talk every once and a while.
This is a dumb comment.Its a sports analyst its really not hard. There are tons of "analyst" worse than him like Nick wright, Doug gottlieb, Max Kellerman. Trust me he knows more basketball than Collin. Collin with a straight face said ben simmons was a top 5 player last year.
Also hes not even a sports analyst hes just a guest in this show.
The past 2 videos I watched he was speaking facts so it shouldn't matter if he's an analyst if he's talking truth.
It’s simple. None of them are analyst. They are sports PERSONALITIES. That’s it lol. They are all actors lol
I love how obsessed Colin is with Westbrook. He probably dreams about way to criticize Westbrook? You all know the meme where the woman looks at the man in bed wondering if he is thinking about other women and the guy is usually thinking of something random? That's Colin thinking about Westbrook.
Russ wants to win. I’m tired of this “stat padding” excuse. I watched every single game without missing one the last 4 years. The season he had 42 triple doubles, I was at 3 games that season where he didn’t get one and easily could have. We 20 balled the Kings and Bucks those 3 games. He was 2 rebounds away from a triple double in 2 of those games and they took him out middle of the 3rd qtrs, because we were beating teams so bad, he didn’t need to get finish those assists/rebounds. He could have had 48 that season, at least if he really cared about the stats. Dude is a winner and adapts his game to be a better teammate and win games. “He can’t shoot, so he becomes a better passer” like it’s a bad thing? You are a git.
Exactly
"Dude is a winner and adapts his game to be a better teammate and win games" Can you explain his late game meltdowns please Game 6 of the GSW series and the last 2 1 round exits?? This is his 11th season what adapting is he doing? PG is doing what KD did before helping OKC win while Russ trying his hardest to ruin games.
Chaoskae KD choked in that series too. But Russ is getting better every year. I agree, he realizes now that he can lean back on his team and doesn’t have to take the reigns every game like the season KD left. He is always making plays for his teammates. PG is having a career year,
Jerami Grant is having a career year, Steven Adams is having a career year, Terrance Ferguson is coming into himself. This guys are succeeding with him being the leader he is. Yes he sometimes takes ill-adviced shots and lets his emotions and ego take over, but if you have been watching him this season, he is letting others shine. PG,
Abrines, Terrance, russ has been letting them shine in clutch moments. Russ is also playing defense at a very high level, leading the NBA in SPG. Nobody is talking about that. Russ plays hard every single night and puts his team in a position to win. If you don’t see the growth, you’re looking in the past.
So... Colin is burying a guy for focusing in aspects of his game he's good at while taking a step back on things that he doesn't do that well... Jeez... What a bad player this is... I definitely wouldn't want anyone like him on my town
Rappaport’s face at 3:45 is mine during every one of Colin’s Westbrook takes.
Calling out Cowherd. Rapaport is a fireball and I love it. Good podcast today.
colin COWHEAD should be taken off air and shipped to china for recycling.
Why they showing colin so much while Michael is talking? Lol
I think they were showing highlights, but you can’t show those on CZcams unless you have the rights to the footage. But yeah, it was still weird 😅
same thought lol
MicDubTV still, rather look at the guy that talks in a really animated way than Colin just staring at him
I thought i was the only one who noticed
What kind of camera work was that? I noticed it too.
Here’s my theory on Westbrook.
He hasn’t had much time to work on his shot since he has toddlers and lately a set of twins. He’s not a natural shooter so without that work he can’t hit it at a high percentage. What he is a natural at is bringing it every single minute of every night.
Oz da GAP facts
Russ has GROWN as a hooper, deferring to PG, playing better defense & having multiple players having career years around him this season. Lebron takes NIGHTS off this season & plays no defense, tried to trade all the young cats for AD & now has to carry this team to the playoffs. Bron needs Russ’s mindset to playing with what you’ve got instead of trying to trade your way to talent.
If LeBron had Russ mindset he would be the goat already if Russ shot 46% from the field and 37% from three he would be the best player in the league by far
avianvi lebron will finish with rings Russ will finish with just a retired jersey
LBJ is a 3 time NBA champion 4 time MVP nah he doesnt need to have russ mindset. Russ is WRECKLESS in crutch time. Why do people keep ignoring that. He choke in the playoff 3 straight season. The GSW series, Hou then Utah
@@danielharper5885 Jason Terry, LBJ if no 🐐.
Bottom line without Westbrook only OKC wouldn't be 3rd in the West, and PG13 would not be an MVP candidate.
43-14-8 vs the Jazz- Westbrook is a obviously complete shell of his former self
Mark Patterson you haven’t noticed he’s lost a step😂
@@TheMikeBailey18 of course he's lost a step,so's Lebron,so will KD and would have already if he had'nt pussied out and took the easy option but Cowherd rags on Westbrook like he's a has been which the numbers clearly refute
Mark Patterson yea I was being sarcastic I don’t think Westbrook’s lost a step yet I think he’s just playing more under control his passes have been a lot less forced this year
@@TheMikeBailey18 LOL gotcha!
Someone finally standing up for Westbrook 😋
Westbrook & Rose 2 of the most explosive point guards in history & Rose needs more respect on his name guy was a terror in the paint dunking on ANYBODY left & right then came back and reinvented himself Rose is one of the best PG to ever play 💯
That's the worst laugh of all time
That's his fake laugh
The disrespect for Westbrook and Drose is unbelievable. People forget quickly.
Joy is so beautiful. Miss her input on undisputed tho.
I know these Mfs ain’t just disrespect D Rose 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Since when Rapaport can analyze anything?
He fox network (GUY).
This guy be having me rolling😂😂😂😂
MIKE I LOVE YOU FOR THIS
Yet Colin continues to praise Ben Simmons who can’t shoot either..
Riley Hamell well Ben doesn’t take the shots Westbrook buries his shot percentage by pulling threes
It's Steph curry team not Durant
people say Durant is better, and he carries Curry
Curry's team until playoff 😂
@@sunsungodjesusloverjr.2204 curry carries KD and stats proved it
i always think curry going to have a better career and is better leader but durant is a better player
@@danielharper5885 yeah exactly
They are 3rd in a stacked west.....behind the monstars and the nuggets
Hahaha I LOVE HIM CALLING OUT COLIN!!!!
Colin thinks Russell is putting up stats because he's thinking of what he says about him?😂
seriously like westbrook is sitting at home wishing upon a star that he pleased cowherd with his play.
Colin, as your fans, we beg you to stop bringing Rappaport onto your show
Michael’s not gonna want to be on The Herd anymore since Colin said he’s not a full blown Liberal
Colin constantly crushes two of the most popular players in Oklahoma history Westbrook and Baker Mayfield and acts like “idk why Oklahoma thinks I don’t like them “
Westbrook is the most unstoppable player in the nba and if he had a better jump shot he would be the best.
Mike was on point this segment 🎯
Bro when she said “10 passes” ... 💀
How can you insult terminal! It’s a great film!
Statistics show when brodie gets a triple dub okc win
Wether he stat padding or not it works🤷🏾♂️
Honestly Russ hasn't really changed much. T.Ferg Grant ,Adams, Dennis, Noel Has been stepping up making Russ & Paul job easier (More talent around him)
how can you have this guy back on after his sick Covington rant
I love when they have Rapaport on!
lol what happen between 1:04 - 2:17. Rapaport is talking and some goes "I think we should show Colin for a whole minute while he sits there and listens" :D :D
Mike I haven't liked you for awhile, but giving props to Donovan Mitchel!!! you went up in my book.
I love this show...just a piece of advice. When you have a guest on the show, can you make it a point of emphasis to show them when they are talking and not anyone else. Also, whenever you show stats, or highlights that we as the fans I can see the people looking at a screen, it might help to show us too, via split screen. Other than that, much love! Great insight always.
Yes, Westbrook is top 8
1) Lebron
2) KD
3) Giannis
4) Kawhi
5) Harden
6) Curry
7) Embid
8) Westbrook
Mikey Raps is a basketball Genius. Said his Moms and no one else.
We talking bout ALL-STAR GAMES😂😂😂
I can’t be the only one who was uncomfortable with how long the camera stayed on Colin while Michael was talking...
Russell Westbrook is the best all around PG in the league right now. Steph is the best though and Kyrie is more skilled. Stop hating on them. Appreciate their greatness
Michael "Ma That Cats Back" Rappaport
Is there a reason the camera is on collin the whole time while Michael is talking?
We talkin bout ALL STAR games :-D
Y'all hear Joy laugh at 4:58 ? Fell in love all over again 😍
"Outside of Brady", ignores the Pats scoring 13 points in the SB
Yeah
Guard rebounds impact the game a lot especially when that guard is a one man fastbreak but okay Colin
“He knows guys like me crush him” after hearing that I have to agree when kyrie says the media disrupts locker rooms
the more Colin shades Russ in a stupid way, the less fans would hate Russ, cuz they get to know many medias are just joke when discussing Russ.
Michael Raport needs more ESPN TIME the only one not influenced
Give the show to Rapaport, thanks in advance.
So we’re just gunna ignore the Dj Vlad interview style for the first 2 minutes of the interview
michael KILLED this fool
I’m not a fan of Westbrook, but Lebrons defense (effort) makes me appreciate Westbrook a lot more now
Bruh this dude is everywhere 😂
I'm here for rapaport
Rapaport and that damn notepad
Westbrook been top 5 in assists for like the past 3 or 4 seasons
Rapaport.... i was working out
Colin... You were?
Lmao
Wade went from Finals MVP to deferring to LeBron and Colin praises him for being unselfish. Westbrook does the same for PG13 and now he's a shell of himself. Hater.
The first two minutes of this made me uncomfortable because the camera was completely glued to Colin and not Mike who was the one talking
Wait, Colin Cowherd said "Who cares about how many rebounds a guard gets." Ben Simmons gets rebounds and yet, Colin Cowherd praises Ben Simmons for being a rebounding guard.
Collin is the last thing from dependable
He is saving himself for the playoffs they will be a team to reckon with and I’m not a fan golden state watch out
Russell Westbrook could play on my team anytime. If I owned a team he’d be one of the first players I went after. He’ll give you his all EVERY night and you know he’s going to push his teammates as well. He’s not a primary option but he’s going to impact the game in so many ways.
10:18 didn't he say he wished that porzingis tore his acl again?
40+ last 3 games!
Colin “I have Biases” Cowherd
Colin speaking about Westbrook in the Allstar game, but I guess he forgot Steph Curry shot 4-17 from the 3 line in the AllStar game.
4:57 Joy's cute laugh
westbrook had a 44 point tripple double against the pelicans and pg missed a bunch of threes that game.... i have nothing against any player at all and i really appreciate westbrook's play style and i appreciate pg's abiliity to score
BURPEES!!
Y'all guys remember when Michael rapaport dated Phoebe in Friends
Michael trolling on the all star game was true af. If all star games stats are your main argument then you should admit your wrong
Damn he talks about Westbrook everyday , I think he secretly admires him.
The all star game?!
joy knows what she's talking about. as much as i wanna see it, the nba is not allowing the lakers to miss the playoffs. expect the lakers to play 8 on 5, and the kings to play 5 on 8 down the stretch of the season.
had to stop the video after collin said "i never liked Derrick Rose"
He's doing what no one else is doing or did. if it's so easy why has no one else did it. logic
OKC will make the western conference finals and next year will be in the finals next season just wait Colin
2:07 Oh you ain't coming back
2:11 Divorce look
2:19 U taking the 🏠 too??
John Wall, Kemba, Kyle Lowry....tf are they doing?
LEBRON IS GETTING YOUNGER HIS HAIRLINE HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER
So The thunder are my second team but am I the only person who wouldn’t want them to go against the Lakers? They don’t play against the Lakers well
Joy thought triple double was with 10 passes lol
If Westbrook was averaging 21-9-9 were not talking about this
Did she just ask what a triple double is?
Colin come on Michael is absolutely right, you can't down a player saying he needs to play teamball, so he plays team ball while still scoring and he's a shell of himself...on top of that down playing a guard average a triple double for three yrs is ludacris.
He's out rebounding centers and power forwards, he's dishing the ball everywhere and he still scores...
