Nah bro, you can’t see it on these clips but there’s 3 plays where he’s face guarding him, the first he baited the jumper by guarding from the side then slid behind for the angle on the the block, the second play does the same thing Kd does his signature hang dribble baseline Russ reaches in to cut it off, hits ball but called for the foul, the third DA set a pick kd drives left Russ goes under and continues to follow from behind weak side picks up kd, Russ recovers knocks the ball out of bounds.
So is Lebron! He can’t shoot and turns it over a lot. That’s why they couldn’t play together. Maybe if they had 3 3 point shooters on the court with them.
@@jasonhoppe781LeBron is an average 3pt shooter and shoots higher from 3 than kobe and mj.. he's also got one of the best assist to turnover ratios for a non pg in league history pipe down 😂 LeBron has been washed since 2018-2020 it's over these are his mj wizards years and at least he's still a top ten player competing for rings
the only problem with Russ’s defense and that he’s not kicked up into high gear like that for all 48 minutes. there are a lot of lowlights showing him either missing plays or not putting in effort. when Russ puts in effort, he’s a great defender, problem is that he’s not putting in 100% effort all of the time
@@ApolloTheUltimate no one but maybe lebron can go 100% all 4 quarters because his raw power and him right now ofc not he too old but maybe his peak year of the lakers sure and kobe bc of his will thats about it
@@madarauchiha640 because defensively, he doesn’t. if you watch the games, you might catch him ball watching sometimes. Russ mostly leans toward the offensive side
@@madarauchiha640you gotta watch the games bro Russ usually is always turnt but sometimes when he’s getting a breather or just calmed down he kinda lets his guard down and plays worse defense
@@ANOCU9972 But still nobody in the Nuggets series was able to do what Russ did, he understand the angles and spaces KD wants to use, all of his blocks are when KD goes into his shooting motion, that requires timing cause once KD reaches his apex Russ might as well be a chair in his way so i give Russ props for defending that well. It reached a point when KD refused to get the ball and instead let Devin cook, cause he couldnt handle the pression Russ was puting on him.
@@DaltonDaDigga “Shitty” is still a blatantly untrue statement. The only area he’s weak on defense is off-ball scenarios where he gets caught ball watching. On the ball though? There’s not many players that can post up Russ or get in a comfortable shooting position with him guarding them. They might get past him but there’s a high chance he gets a block. He really only gets abused on back door cuts or drive-bys.
I think more than him knowing KDs moves, It's about him trusting that KD will take the shot. Most of those blocks and steals happen when Russ is helping someone double-team KD.
I hate how people nowadays praise Russ for the hate he gets because they feel bad for him, and I understand he doesn't deserve the hate but people praising too much BUT OKC RUSS was goated
Russ and KD is not ‘enemies the NBA make them look like enemies on the Court but off the court they still brothers from another mother just like Tupac and Biggie
You play like that when u play against a person who once was a friend nd so close wd u ...it's jus a competitive nature of them..and it's so joyful for nba fans to watch😍
Bro Kd played so inefficient in that series and ist way taller than Russ so what do you expect. Russ literally locked him so often and that’s why I’d shot 40%
Thunder vs warriors in November 2017 when Russ had just got pg and melo on his squad is one of the best basketball games of all time. The thunder blew them out which was unheard of at the time for that warriors team, no team had done that. Russ and KD going at it, melo and draymond even got chippy, lot of trash talk, the crowd was absolutely electric. Such a fun game. And Russ owned KD .

Kobe said he didnt get a chance to figure out KD before he left the league so when it comes to defending KD im sure Russ does Kobe proud.

Russ is one of a kind at that
I’m so happy Russ is good again
A brother knows you better but an enemy brother knows all too well to handle you

Dont try that shit, better back up.

Respect to both men!
Russ always been kds daddy
Russ always plays his heart out but against kd he plays with his heart and soul on the line
This is clamps city for Russ 🔒
He’s the only guy I’ve seen actually play this kind of defense on kd, everybody else be getting cooked lol
KD And Westbrook like me and my fricking annoying enemy in class
Ts make me wanna cry man I miss them 😭😭😂 they was really together since jits early days in okc
They played together Russ bound to know all of KD's tricks
That should be the same logic with everyone then. And that’s obviously not the case.
These mfs will battle till the end of time
He got the cheat code on KD 😂

Help defense isnt guarding him. Russ gets cooked alot in 1v1 situations

What started the beef they were friends on the okc
When kd went to the warriors
KD blamed Russ when they were on okc because they lost to the warriors and then KD left to go to the warriors with out telling Russ.
Westbrook's tenacity and relentless effort is so under appreciated.
If kd stayed with okc they were gonna get that ring eventually he just ran out of patience
