- Bradley Beal explains to Draymond Green why he was frustrated with the reports that he didn’t get along with John Wall and compares what it’s like playing with Wall to playing with Russell Westbrook. Beal also explains why "that sh*t gotta stop" with the Westbrook slander and why it's time for the haters to shut up and put some respect on the future first-ballot Hall of Famer's name.

As a Wizards fan, we hugely over-achieved last year because of Russ, but just didn't quite have enough talent and injuries took their toll. This season, with all the talent we have, we have been absolutely dreadful, and us not having Russ, as well as the coaching staff, have to take a lot of the heat for that.
Y’all can have Russ give us kcp and porzingus
@@loganreese6626 and still not make the playoff....
The wiz play like jizz, dc will never win a title in basketball and especially football ever again. The fans are not loyal and the owners only care about tix sales.
This is what people don't understand russ can make a bad team good but he can't make a good team great 😉
If Russ came back to that team right now and they somehow kept Beal, Porzingus, and added Russ, they'd probably go to the conference finals. I'm telling you a guy like Porzingus was exactly what the Wizards were missing. They needed a shot blocking big man that was gonna stay the hell out of the paint on offense.
You look at Giannis' success it's thanks to Brook Lopez. He is absolutely that for Giannis and his game turned a corner when they got Lopez. Westbrook has never gotten the real stretch 5 he deserves for his skillset. That's on front offices for not seeing how easily they could build around this guy. Dallas is adding the same types of players for Doncic and they turned a corner last year. That's all it is. Build around Russ just cause he can't shoot doesn't mean it's a problem. It's easier to add shooting than a Hall of Famer.
Every NBA Player: Russ is a legend
Every broadcaster: Russ is a G-Leaguer
Just goes to show that players actually have more knowledge than these guys that are supposed to be professional basketball watchers 🗿

Who is calling Russ a G leaguer with all due respect
Dray must interview russ next episode
@Fallen Program no way he doing it
Russ is not gonna do it
Maybe when the season over better
Russ won’t do anything till he retires, He just that kinda guy, Sorta like Kobe they really just focused on basketball
Russ on Drays podcast is a must hear..
Draymond gone dominate the sports media after retirement
He seems like a good interviewer. I think there’s potential for him to be a better broadcaster than basketball player. He just lets the guest say his piece, and I appreciate that.
he gone be with chuck and shaq
@@ohreally4752 I wouldn’t mind that, but Green seems more like a straight-laced broadcaster than hamming it up like Chuck and Shaq do. Those two plus Ernie as the straight man trying to keep the show on the rails are some of the most entertaining TV out there. I’d watch a game I didn’t even care about just to see them do their thing.
Just as long as he doesn’t talk about bullshit politics. We know how that road goes.
It’s pretty incredible how much things have changed, like just in the past couple years. Having guys currently active on rosters not only being able to host shows talking real stuff with other players, but how they’ll talk openly positive of other players and talk real on their own front offices.
Love it, the media and a lot of fans opinions are so ridiculous sometimes. The media brainwashed a lot of fans into stupid opinions too like shitting on Melo so long that many now think he was this terrible selfish loser ballhog. Same thing there doing to Russ now who's one of the most amazing guards to ever lace em up. When you hear the players opinions it's the way it should be giving guys like that the respect they deserve and earned. Refreshing after so many years of bullshit from the media.
It’s bc the nba allowed the media to control fan narratives. If they started getting on these journalists asses about their lying and defamatory stories, we wouldn’t be in this mess. Little kids treat basketball like a joke these days bc of the stories these outlets choose to push. They purposely talk about beef, someone playing trash, bs highlights the list goes on. But a lot of sports media is on the decline so I can see why they’ve just become leeches of the players.
I KNOW THE OWNERS HATE THIS SHIT AND ARE ACTIVELY TRYING TO GET IT SHUT DOWN
Beal last season said Russ was the best teammate he’s played with
Facts and it was one of the first times the media asked him. And he doesn't play a good ball facilitator.
Teammate doesn't mean player
@@WE_ARE_LIGHT 1st ballot HOF
@@WE_ARE_LIGHT lol he never played with a person with any better stats’s better than Russ. Russ brought the best of Beal out something John wall never could do
@@dmicooutlaw9471 Obviously you didn't hear what Beal said about Wall. Washington is a sorry team. They haven't 5 consecutive winning seasons Walls last 5 yrs and hasn't had one since. Beal knows that if Wall didn't get traded they could have been special.
Unfortunate we didn’t see this Beal with John but the league is impatient ! Always moving forward
it would've been great to see. Or, at least giving Wall a player like Gafford to work with. All those years as one of the league's best passers and they didn't ever get him a lob threat, after Javale McGee left
@@Joe_Parmesan facts. He got stuck with Gortat and never had a third option after Beal.
Real recognizes real. Bradley knows what’s up
G shit 💯
Nah.
Beal recognizes real
Real recognize Beal.
People forget or don’t know that the wizards, led by a perennial all star Wall and a rising Beal, were the only team in the conference to advance in the playoffs 3 times from 2014-2017. Only team. They made the playoffs 4 times in walls last 5 years( outside of the injuries of course) never finished below under .500 any of the 5, upset 2 higher seeded teams in playoff series AND never once lost a series to a team that wasn’t a #1 seed. ALSO, they never lost a seires in less than 6. People often talk about the game 7 Series Vs Boston where Boston’s bench took over the game, but they forget that the wizards were a SUPER close 6 game series away from taking out the #1 pacers teams and were a broken wall hand with a 1-0 series lead away from taking down another 60 win 1 seed.
Even Walls last playoff trip before the injuries in 2017/18, he had just missed 2 months before the start of the playoffs with knee surgery and the wiz fall to 8th. Face a 59 win super deep raptors team. Wall comes back and the team somehow pushes that raptors team to a 2-2 tie, and then barley loses games 5 and 6 having seocnd half leads in the both.
My point? Wall led this team WAY further than anyone should have or he gets credit for. And Beal deserves credit for his elite role as well, but the wiz haven’t even hit .500 since wall…but people, I swear, they just dismiss what wall was able to do without a legit squad GM and coach around him.
In fact, Wall, according to a study by espn where you give points to accoladed teammates and execs and coaches, has had more sucess with less help than anyone else, ever. Yea he only came close to the ECF 3 times…buuut having zero all stars or anything close to a COtY or DPOY or 6MOTY doing that? Having the worst bench in the playoffs those years? Like that shit is insanely impressive. One of my biggest NBA regrets is that Wall and Beal never had a legit contending team put around them, because I firmly believe they could have won a title just cuz of how talented they are, how good they were on D when they locked in, and how they are just dawgs, especially John.
Another reason why wall is overlooked is how he got even better during the playoffs individually. Do y’all know he’s the only player in NBA history to average over 27 and 10 for more 5 games? Wall did it for 13.
Then he came back and averaged 26 and 11.5 his very next playoff run. Only player ever to have those averages across multiple consecutive playoff series. He’s amazing. That 2016/17 season was all time great from Wall but no one cares or knows
Ppl forget they got into it 🤣🤣
No one cares because it lasted 2 series max each year. Also that sounds like a whole lotta IFs right there
Oh also, they weren’t beating LeBron and Kyrie.
@@nujeanmichel Not to mention John and Brad are small guards. If Brad was a few inches taller it would be different. But there both 6”3-6”4. 2 small guards can’t win.
Facts! NBA fans today only know Wall as an overpaid and injury prone player. They didn't know why he got that supermax money. He's arguably the second best player in the East next to LeBron in 2017 when he signed that extension. I would not be an NBA fan if not for him. He's the most exciting player I've watched. No player today can match that, maybe Ja Morant.
Draymond is so talented. I can see him killing it as a broadcaster which he has, but I'd love to see him as a GM. I think he sees the game different and would kill it running a team
It's so refreshing and interesting to hear players talk like this. When they interview with reporters their guards always up, very careful about what they say, how it will be interpreted, etc etc. But when it's like this, on a platform (instead of big sports media like ESPN, FS1, TSN) with another player, talking like they would without a mic. It's authentic and raw and allows us to view a world we never had access too until now. Also awesome to know my opinion on all this stupid Westbrook hate is seemingly shared by the actual players, because it felt like trying to tell ppl the sky isn't really blue. Yeah it doesn't look great but a big part of the problem is the environment...that roster is not suited to his skill set and all around very I'll fitting all together, also the coach isn't a bad coach but I don't think he is the right coach for this team. I think a stronger, more respected personality was needed, someone who can better experiment with line-ups and offensive systems (playbook, ATO's etc.) ...Russ and James minutes should have been split/staggered from the beginning, start russ, but have him play with the 2nd unit more (kind of like how Ginobili was with the spurs championship teams) and if hes having a bad night or getting out of control sit him at the end of close games. He might complain a bit at first, but he'd still start, have starter minutes and run his own unit, a strong coach could sell that to him and take him off the floor when he needs to, by winning games or at least showing he has some sort of plan instead of throwing shit at a wall to see what sticks (how Vogel seems to experiment with lineups)
Beal is right John and him would be nasty especially the level Beal reached
for real. Beal was a budding star, but he's gotten so much better. What's wild is that Wall isn't a real efficient scorer, but for years, he served as Washington's best scorer, along with being a great passer (one of the NBA's best), and being the team's best defender, after Ariza left
@@Joe_Parmesan said it before, I’ll say it again. John Wall was quite possibly the #2 best player in the East in 16-17
Russ is one of the best dudes in the nba period get so much hate and black ball for being him
I still really like Russ. I’ve criticized him before and been frustrated with his gameplay, but he works hard, he tries his best, and he has actually been improving massively. His style is just gritty and explosive. And he’s a good guy in general, except with the media; because he knows how they can be. But, seeing the chemistry developing between him & LeBron is awesome. As rough as it’s been this season, part of me wants him to stay on the Lakers next year; because these next 9 games & the postseason, we’re going to see what they’re really made of.
He doesn't work hard on defense...
Also, does he work on his shot? Every season he is around 30% from the 3. How many players went from having no 3 pt shot to being consistent shooters? Jason Kidd, Dorian Finney Smith, to name a few.
I see what you mean. The only knock on Russ I have is that he can't shoot free throws anymore and his attitude toward the media has been really bad. He get's really defensive over everything now and makes it seem like he doesn't care about winning on some days.
Post season? 😛
@@haoyu16 Jason Kidd a three point specialist??💀💀💀 he had a 34% career three point percentage lmao. Just shows us all how much you don’t know
I love Russell work ethic and dedication to the game. I wish he could adapt to others rolls in the court. 🔥
Love hearing people say positive things about Russ
There’s so much slander on Russ it’s crazy. The facts are Russ is a great player playing a certain way. The lakers tried to completely change the way he plays in year 14, so of course he’s not going to flourish. The lakers used the wrong strategy and catered to Lebron at the expense of Russ.
Cater to the guy with 4 rings instead of the guy with no rings? Pure craziness. Cater to one of the most efficient scorers and passers to ever play the game instead of one of the most inefficient? Absolute insanity.
@@joel2421 u a 🤡
@@itswurrk Thank you Sir!
This had more to do with the teams shooting Rus is good when he has good shooters he can pass the ball to when he drives to the rim. On the Lakers he would pass the ball out and it would either be a brick or a pump fake
@@fidelflores1963 Just no. Never forget that with the Thunder Russ played with KD who was the most efficient scorer in the league while Russ was the most inefficient volume scorer and Russ took more shots than KD for several seasons. Only a moron does that.
As a fan of professional sports, Westbrook is what every fan ACTUALLY WANTS...maybe not the outcome BUT the effort he plays with! You can't watch him play and say that he EVER takes a play off...not once!! This guy plays like every play is his LAST!! I GUARENTEE there's many "star" players that their fan base has said "I wish he went 100% all the time" just to see how good they could be! Russ and KG are the only two guys, off the top of my head, that seem to take every play like it's their last!
Please get Russ to do an interview
I'm sure Russ will appreciate these kind words, especially with all negative noise out there.
When you see the comment section and you wonder why Russ gets so many hate? Just remember everyone can be a commentator but only a few can be in the league.
Well his peers are on his side because they're biased. Guarantee you if Kerr or Bob was to make the suggestion that the Warriors were gonna get Russ Draymond would shut his lying mouth and he wouldn't want him 😂 if he's so great then HE should take him. This is the same guy who said that it was easy to play against Russ back when he was still in OKC in his prime, so imagine how easy it must be now. NBA players are such liars.
As for Beal, he once said Jeff Green was as good as LeBron 😂 he's known to overhype his teammates. Nothing he says is trustworthy.
@@dthamaestro3624 I mean, you really underestimate how far respect goes. If Draymond hear GS was getting Russ he wouldn’t be opposed to it, he would just wonder how he would fit cause the Warriors predicate themselves off of shooting and you bring in a guy that can’t shoot that well. But we all saw how good Russ was with floor spacers in Houston.
@@xdarkxskullzx Cap. I refuse to believe he would want Russ. He's cap. I'll believe it when I see it.
DThaMaestro they played with him bro they know more about that man than you. I love it how the haters say he’s a bad teammate but all of his teammates say otherwise. Who opinion should we value more the teammates that played with him or the guy who couldn’t even play college ball
I wish Russ hopped on pods like this. The closest we get to see the real Russ is late night shows.
Would love to see Dressbrick further expose his 0 BBIQ and 0 self-awareness.
@@VVVY777 mane get yo corny ahh on
He prefers to spend time with family and his foundation. It's not always about getting his rep up. He just prefers to do things the way his parents did and still do
It's a shame Wall is stuck in Houston and can't go back to Washington. With some of the players they have now besides Beal I feel they could make it work and elevate each other.
Smh fam Wall is on the Clippers do u watch sports 🤦🏽♂️
@@itswurrk Hey fam. Maybe check the date of the comment, genius. 🤦
@@patrickgrady7505 Wall was on the clippers a month ago that’s even worse 🤡 he’s talkin out his ass and he doesn’t even watch sports
@@patrickgrady7505 I mean he was in Houston, but not stuck there
There’s a lot of bad Russ criticism but I think the worst is that people who don’t even play ball have the nerve to consider him a terrible teammate
FACTS
If you consistently make horrible plays when the smarter play was there you’re a bad teammate. You think we should give a fuck if he’s empathetic off the court and a mentor? That has nothing to do with his on court play and whether that makes him a good teammate in that context.
@@pandabear1576 You make no sense lol 🤣🤣🤣. No teammate has ever said he is bad teammate on and off the court.
So I guess every teammate that makes bad plays is a bad teammate?
So NBA players who played with him has never said it I guess we suppose to believe your logic on why he is? 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭
Man y'all say anything on the net
@@goldteethpoohproductions2707 Exactly fans don’t have the ability to decide who’s a bad or good teammate because they’re not on the team
@@travisj8110 TALK!!!!!!!!
I have so much respect for Brad Beal and I hope to meet him one time!
Hes married
I love Draymond for this. He's the Nore and Gillie of basketball media, while still playing!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Beal playing with russ he become an allstar starter and almost scoring champion that season behind single point by steph..
The treatment Russ gets is the reason why many athletes now take the Lebron route and go to stacked teams. Russ never had the right pieces around him ... even in OKC KD recently said that he was tired of being the only player on the roster able to hit a 3. How was Russ supposed to win there? But he never complained or whines about it. He just works hard and shows up every night .. that's why he's my favourite player.
Alot of people said Russ was the best teammate they've ever had and people love following narratives because they hate him. Clowns
That's why Bradley Beal had his best yr with Russ since Beal adapted to ball handling and such and such so just imagine John came back off injury , the 6 yr chemistry already there they would probably made it to the eastern conference
I forgot Those two got into it. Lol 😂
I'm glad somebody got russell westbrook back because nobody seems to ever have his back people are always hating on him
Super dope content !To guys who’s in their prime as well giving others brothers their due diligence ❤️🙏💯
These are the types of interviews that should be on TV. These reporters don’t know these players like their teammates know them.
Much respect for Draymond for reminding people how special Derrick Rose was with that athleticism shit. Derrick Rose will always be My favorite point guard to ever play the game. That boy would have been one of the greatest ever without the injuries
Derrick rose was ja morat before ja morat so 🤷🏿♂️
Dray going to have a hall of fame broadcasting career as well. Impressive dude
Amen
My favorite player was DROSE.. so yes I’m bias but anyone who puts that much energy and effort into a sport day and night deserves a lot of respect. You can’t teach drive it’s either you have it or you don’t .
All russ teammates aprreciate him and all russ teammates become an allastar calliber.
They really like russ
Ayyeee draymon you are the reason why all those old heads argument “these players couldn’t get play in my era is invalid” much love bro I’m rooting for Boston but if you build your legacy I won’t be mad much respect
Lol i forgot these two guys fought. This beautiful man
Brad did 30 a game with Russ.....
Is morant really carrying that team b/c they have a pretty high win percentage w/o him
If John Wall doesn’t get hurt he’s a top 5 PG in the league right now
People thought draymond & Beal had a fight that was just basketball
Bradley Beal - class-act, honorable, full of integrity. Much respect to you.
BEAL & DRAYMOND IS OFFICIAL 💯🎯👌🏾
This is a pretty cool interview.
As a wizards fan I blame our coaching we have had some great prospects but no real coaching
Sheesh, why can't people be critical of what happens from game to game and if someone did or didn't play well, WHYYYY?
Alot of ppl don't know that russ plays the way he does for his friend that he lost in his childhood he said " I play for 2 ppl"
Love how dray said "as if he not fuckin russell westbrook"
Did they talk about the dray and Beal fight?
I only subscribe to this channel because of my favorite player draymond green 🖤🐐
All these nba players saying put some respect on Russ, but yet hes been on 4 teams in 4 years. The Lakers are trynna trade him too. Russ is a HOF and a great player, but his game isnt conducive to championship winning unfortunately
What the hell how did I miss this episode
Get John Wall back if you resign
Wall is my favorite player! Just love that he played so fast and was able to get his teammates involved as well.
At any point did Draymond and Beal talk about the fight they had ?😂
That's what I'm talking about fellas give Russ his flowers
none of them was on derrick rose level of athleticism
Great content
Man glad to see other stars sticking up for Brodie shit makes me sick how ppl are
Preach brothers!!! He is a Hall of Fame!!! They totally disrespected Russ last year
BRING JOHN BACK NEXT SEASON
I honestly dont see that russ plays hard. I mostly see him slacking on defense standing around.
He plays hard he just loses focus sometimes
@@markmaniagaming5411 nah he gets blown by easily lol
So if I'm not a top tier defender but I play hard on offense I'm a slacker? 💀
@@mega_.0635 is taking dumb shots playing hard?
@@gaarakyun5254 What type of argument is that? Unless you think Westbrook is just throwing up a dumb shot every possession obviously he’s playing hard. If everyone in the league says it why are you doubting it?
My man Westbrook. As the narrative turns. Bradley is a cold dude. I know about the St Louis boys. Xavier Sneed anyone? I am missing The Beal Family channel. Best hoops family channel on TH-cam by far. Big Money Jay!
Big win in Miami last night. My old stomping grounds. Back when Coach Gentry was with the Heat, he came to my game. I got busy, way back in '91.

I'm only here to see if Bradley keeps it 💯
Disrespect gotta stop 🗣🗣
Can’t change him but the game changes. 😂
Can’t change him but everything changes. 😂
Can’t change him but he’s won nothing of any significance. 😂
Good job Bradley.
That would be dope if John revived his career with the Suns this year
Now this is a Basketball podcasts
Russ and the Lakers are just not a good fit. I wish he would’ve stayed with the Wizards.
I think John deserves more credit, when he was healthy Washington was playoff team year after year. It showed when he was hurt just how much he brought to the table because of the record
Respect to J.Wall and R. Westbrook regardless of the hate 99% of people couldn't get with Westbrook on his worst day. ESPN is a now just a daily propaganda sports soap opera that tries to create narratives to make $. So these shows will always have a lane.

Didn't these 2 get in a fight 🤛lol grown men 👏
Sports media creates headlines and villains. They do that to russ. I see this in premiere league soccer news, american football and in boxing too. The players often respect and honor their peers. It's the media that puts out drama around the sports.
The slander comes from playing along side lebron so, dray call it out like you do, the reason kd didn't wanna join lebron
If kd and lebron had joined they would dominate the NBA.
I believe kd thinks lebron is his only true rival. The slander is part of it but his main reason is probably because that's the one players he doesn't want to team up with because of competition.
Had a negative box plus/minus for the first time since his rookie year. He's just not that dude anymore. At some point you have to acknowledge that he's just not playing winning basketball anymore.
He was playing 2 guard last year that’s not his position
Russ is a cry baby. Was he worried about disrespecting people and their names when he was rocking the baby? Westbrick is not crossing the line at all. It is both funny and accurate.
He must’ve dunked on one of your favorite players in the past lol
I been telling y’all don’t sleep on Westbrook yet if he gots hot in the playoffs with lebron and Ad it’s championship time
Lmfao delusion
@@k.matthews1158 wanna bet some cash on it?
Good show lil homie.
I've seen Ja do some shit in game that made me say "THAT nigga is Michael Jordan". I still believe that
bro can we not with the excuses for russ. In this world talent does not mean shit without succeeding. He is a bonafide 1st ballet hofer and did things that we probably will never see again but he is not a good team player. If a world class surgeon was letting his ego get in the way during surgery and it was resulting in deaths he would not be considered “world class” anymore. thats just how the world works. Players age they get worse and have to adjust its just part of an nba players lifespan
When you’re the primary decision maker and you’re not sure with the ball when it matters most, that’s a problem. Playing hard is fantastic, but you’ve gotta play smart too.🤷🏽♂️
wait…..remember when beal and dray got into that scuffle in game?
“He carrying his guys”.. tbh. No he ain’t.
I respect Bradley for supportin his brother but he didn’t change my opinion AT ALL 😂
Did the NBA season end???
Russ has to play smart.
Going in at 6 in the morning never worked on his damn jumpshot damn man BRODIE HELP US PLEASE
Bradley beal vs jallen brown
Who is the better player
Had to shoutout D rose 🔥🔥🔥
It’s funny when people throw shade at Westbrook and his playoffs experience like he just getting smoked by bums when in reality the only teams he lost to was either the best team in the conference, team that’s went to the finals or Won The finals. Lost To #1 Seed Sixers, Champion Lakers, West Conf Trailblazers, Stacked Rockets, Warriors And Championship Spurs.
But I Guess That Don’t Count For Nothing lol
“If you don’t like how he play don’t watch him” lmao straight facts…same ones talking down on Russ don’t miss a damn game
U should do a interview with Cameron Payne
Russ is a beast,the laker situation is not his fault,they wanna put the blame on him like if his the only one playing,AD didn't show up they all didn't mesh well yet but they will I hope they don't trade him.and all these NBA analysts are dumb always blaming him afraid to call out AD or LB
Salute across the board
Def did not go to the conf finals last year in Houston first round KO by the lakers in the bubble
Telling lies shows how much you a hater. They beat the thunder and then Russ got covid and wasn’t the same when he got back and lost to the lakers the next round fool
