@@salem7998 he should’ve stayed on the thunder tbh they should’ve never traded him frfr if he was still on the thunder he would’ve had a way better season in my opinion
sickening how much disrespect this guys gets. he had an off season this past year, but i refuse to believe he’s cooked. he can still be an All-Star caliber point guard. look at what he was doing in DC just the season before this last one. he’s one of the greatest to do it at the point guard position and just in general.
Russ is trash look at his MVP season game logs he had 7 10+ turnover games. He had games where he scored 50 but it took him 45+ shots (3 or 4 games like that). He even had 4+ quadruple doubles w/ turnovers. If you watch him in person or his actual games.. you’ll see how flawed he actually is. He’s an all star at most but gotta be extremely overrated because of the tripple double and his explosiveness. If you’re a team that values winning you will NEVER be able to win w/ that.
He's always had that play style where he can get his individual stats look nice on paper, but never lead to a significant wins. Also his rebounds are overrated as I can recall numerous times where he let his team box out other players for him to catch the rebound. Let alone that one famous clip where he grabs the rebound out of Steven Adams' hands, HIS OWN teammate.
@@eshw23 He really wasn’t trash in the playoffs. He might’ve underperformed but that doesn’t mean he was trash and about the stat padding thing. Is y’all just repeat that over and over cause that’s the only thing y’all can say regarding Russ??
He was a fking predator as an okc fan he will always be my fave player never seen a guard dunk with such power like Westbrook! Don’t care about all the slander dude is a certified hall of famer!!
Man that is a fact. PG was looking like a top 5 player in stretches and Russ was a nightmare in his own right. It was annoying they didn't run it back but their supporting cast was trash.
Despite having numerous flaws Russ has still managed to put together a HOF resume and he'll go down as a top 50 player ever, a top 10 PG ever and one of the greatest athletes ever especially at the PG position. He's my all time favourite player and I hate it when people flat out disrespect him. You can criticize him but the amount of disrespect & hate he gets is insane.
one of the players that made me fall in love with basketball. Built my play style around him. Making us smaller but explosive players dominate a game .I support him to this day and it hurts watching him get attacked by everyone else.
Actually one of the worst MVP objectively even. You realize his fg% his mvp year and this year were practically the same? He shoots like trash and has Adams rebounds for him to get him his triple dub Bc that’s the only thing he’s ever done
There were alot of clutch plays from 3s and midrange jumpers westbrook made in his prime but you only focused on the dunks. Man that dude was superb in his prime
One of the greatest players ever as well as one of the funnest to ever watch play. Who cares what anyone says about Stat padding or not a winner or any of that. Appreciate him for what he was and is, a straight beast.
He's great to watch and very entertaining when he's playing well and not on your team like the 21 season with the wizards that was very fun to see him and beal dominate the pacers the entire season
People forget he was literally making these types of plays just a year ago in DC, and he literally baptized Rudy as a Laker. Don't let the bad fit fool you, he's still an All-Star/All-NBA level point guard. Truly believe Darvin Ham will adapt his skillset into a championship level player for the Lakers this season.

when your on top they wanna see u fall and when u fall they wanna see u stay there and say all the bad stuff they could say about u ..but there are people that still wanna see you do good.. i hope u prove them wrong westbrook i know u still got it in you.. team westbrook
Love this, People so quick to hate on Russ totally ignoring just how good he really was his prime years. I find it odd tho considering the point of the video that you didn’t include it seemed any highlights from his MVP season tho as he had SOOO many better highlights than these in that season alone, This vid is mainly his last few seasons in OKC with PG & Melo, Which is where he was still good, But slowly started to burn out a bit. I would have added more plays from his ‘14 to ‘17 years as that was peak Russ IMO
Crazy how quick yall forget. This man was rivaling steph for best PG for like 4 years. One of the greatest primes ever. There's a reason he's Top 75.........
I think playing with the Lakers is a major factor in his fall off. He doesn't fit the team in any shape or form. He fit well with the Wizards because Beal is a great off ball player but playing with another ball dominant player, Lebron is definitely not a good position for Russ to thrive in.
Who else remembers his pull-up game? It was deadly, or should I say it is. Depending if he can get out of his own head and tune all the negativity out.
Who do you wanna see get a ring first: Westbrook or Harden ?
Westbrook
Eastbrick
i think they will both win rings but it would be westbrook first unless they was on the same team lol

Thank you!

is he a stat passer or he’s helping his team and his team needs him so he just has a lot of pts,ast, reb, etc.

Prime Westbrook was an athletic freak. U literally couldn’t stop him

That’s how it is still. Only person that can Stop Westbrook is Westbrook himself
I Don’t know why ever shot a jumper in his prime tbh
yeah but he was still trash in the playoffs, and only padded stats

I swear his dunks are so clean and satisfying, the way he gets up in the air and puts it in! Mama there goes that man!
The most unforgettable moment from westbrook for me was that game winning half court shot that also broke the record of trip dub
He is the best dunker,energetic,athletic,great passer PG of all time!
The OKC season where it was just PG and Russ was probably my favorite season from both those guys

MAN I LOVE YOU THANK YOU FOR THIS VID
Im going to have Russell Westbrooks Athleticism in my prime. 41 inch Vert, great speed and agility. I want to be able to dunk like him too.
He had a great explosive end to the game tonight. Made me want to watch his highlights and this video really shows how good that man can really be
He's great to watch and very entertaining when he's playing well and not on your team like the 21 season with the wizards that was very fun to see him and beal dominate the pacers the entire season
These OKC jerseys were absolutely stunning (all of them), simply the best in the league. My eyes are salivating, goodness me. ⚡️
Absolutely love is dunk style.

Literally. League not the same no more
He was different
his explosiveness inspired me to have a playstyle similar to his when i used to play.
He was a beast
My GOAT PG💯🐐🥺
Hahahhah the face at 4:10 i can't lmfaoo
His mvp season was one of the best in the last few years for sure. He even shot 34% from 3 which is good for him
Preciate you making this video…hear too many Westbricks like he wasn’t a top 10 player
The Westbrook we fell inlove with! Vicious and had no mercy for human life!! Who's stopping that!!🥵
RIP prime westbrook, he was a good man
I love the Steven Adam highlight plays too lol
I never thought of this Westbrook!
Russ had an off season this year with the way he was tied into the system with Frank vogel. Hopefully ham can turn him back to his old ways❤️
The player that made me fall in love with game form is temporary class is permanent
Not including the Nuggets buzzer beater is criminal 😂. Great video tho Brodie for life.
Truthfully he has always been a 2 guard in my eyes, wished the Lakers played him in that position last season
my 5 Favorite player
a moment of silence, I was hypnotized by his game and didn't realize that I had been watching him in this video for 10 minutes
Out of all the MVPs game ,The best is RUSSEL WESTBROOK’s MVP , He is best
This dude hard
Westbrook prime is incredible ! Song please
russ athleticism is out of this world bro
Now I feel so old.
My heroes westbrooke and carter!! The dunk game is insane

Crazy how quick yall forget. This man was rivaling steph for best PG for like 4 years. One of the greatest primes ever. There's a reason he's Top 75.........
FAXX
Facts
facts, and was arguably the best PG in the league before steph came into his own
We this rus back
Best fan in four your bro
the duo of Aquaman and Westbrook was very funny
My fav
BEAST
Hopefully he can have some type of jump shot game
always been a westbrook fan seen him play a few times but hats off to Steven adams as well
Very good.
Now he playin like Ben Simmons he can only dunk

Best dunker
Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant were unstoppable together in there prime
We call this man a prime goat 🐐
Russ is top 5 point guards all time for sure 🐐
Can you do a Video about Prime Dirk Nowitzki?
One of the most entertaining stretches to watch of anyone’s career, that being said his fall off was insanely fast for what was expected
did he fall off or did he just go to a terrible basketball situation. because he still had dunk of the year on gobert
@@kjjunior7918 nah he was unplayable in the 4th fasho
everyone was expecting him to fall off
not a fall off whatchu saying?
I think playing with the Lakers is a major factor in his fall off. He doesn't fit the team in any shape or form. He fit well with the Wizards because Beal is a great off ball player but playing with another ball dominant player, Lebron is definitely not a good position for Russ to thrive in.
the media destroys Russell's career that's it
2016 Westbrook was a joy to watch. I don't care if he doesn't have rings he's my all time favourite player and is still a lock for Hall of Fame.
Wish this Russell was still around
