I dont know if many players can carry the load he did back in 16-17. Its amazing how he can keep this kamikaze style of play after so many years and several injuries. I feel like Russ is getting too much hate and less recognition from most fans. He will remain as one of my favorite players no matter what. Not everyone can win a ring, but the fact he keeps this level for so long is so underrated.
Coming from a Rockets fan that's now a huge Russ fan, I still think Harden got robbed of an MVP that year. Dude's been robbed of 3 MVPs now. I honestly think the award has become a joke as it's determined by the media who basically follow a narrative. Averaging a triple double... that's a narrative.. forget that Harden put up equally impressive numbers (2000 points, 600 assists, 600 rebounds, which had never been done), and he carried his team through injuries to a higher seed. Cynics claim that Harden had a better team around him, yet so did Curry the year before and Giannis last year.
@@nahor88 I agree with you about the MVP being more about a narrative now but I think westbrook was more valuable to his team than Harden. Harden could sit on the bench and his team keep the lead, westbrook would sit after being up like 10 to 15 points and then have to fight every night to get OKC back in the game, he had the second youngest team and the only other good offensive player was Oladipo who is no where as good as he is now. In short, without westbrook OKC would have been probably between the 12th and 15th seed, without Harden the rockets would have probably been 8-11th. The MVP award has turned into best player rather than most valuable player, for example LeBron should have been MVP in 2018 and Harden should have been it 2019. Without LeBron the cavs would have been 15th definitely, not necessarily about numbers but about the value of a player
@@calebalexander7128 It should've been a dual award then; Westbrook and Harden. Those guys are best buds, and I bet they've would've appreciated that. And if we're following that logic, Curry's Warriors and Giannis' Bucks also would've been play-off teams without them. The year Harden won MVP, the Rockets had CP3 but he was injured quite a bit that year.
@@russwalker4017 what moments bro? If he wasn't a self centered player he would've used the energy to take a team further rather than getting accolades that don't amount to much in the end
AB - 05BA - SouthFields Village PS (1454) If you can’t come to your senses that that move was skill, then you should have probably never clicked on this video
He’s the most hated for no reason at all he’s so good , yes he can’t shoot the 3 ball very well but he can shoot mid range and drive and honeslty one of the most clutch players we’ve ever seen and people don’t notice that. And most important he’s the most athletic PG of time and you usually don’t see that very often in a PG he’s just amazing in general
For God so loved the world that He gave his only son, that whosoever believes on him should not perish, but have everlasting life...God loved us first, would you show your love to him. Repent and believe the gospel. Now is the time for salvation, tomorrow may be too late.
Russ was the man that caught me by surprise and the reason I fell in love with basketball. He’s my inspiration and why I play the game. The way he plays, that’s how I wanna play. The things he does are incredible. There’s no doubt he is, not only, my favorite current player, but my favorite of all time. The fact that he gets so much hate for “stat padding” and his lack of shooting is ridiculous. Why can’t people just realize and respect that he is out there, working his ass off, to not only improve his game, but his teammates. He is the most hardworking and explosive player I’ve seen in my lifetime. The way he goes out and leaves it all on the floor is inspiring and incredible.
@Bradley Primus because of his 3-point shooting that’s why they put him that high. And his 3 rings. I’m a Westbrook fan but I would only pick steph because he shoots better than Russ. Other than that I’m picking Russ. To me Russ is the better player than Curry but Curry is a better team player meaning he would be able to fit in with any team cause of his 3-point shooting ability.
Absolutely! If you pay a ticket for a game he's in, you know for sure you're getting your moneys worth. Passionate player, Energetic, most athletic by far, aggressive, clutch, competitive, trash talker etc..
Im hoping to see Houston be a finals contender in the next 2 years. Russell and Harden have crafted their talent like technicians and they deserve to be the face of the NBA.
Cobbler curry is averaging every stat less than Westbrook and came off a exaggerated injury. Lillard is fighting with two rookies for a playoff spot and he has 14 percent chance of making it. He’s instantly disqualified.
@@retiredwestbrookfan6049 But did you know who ended Westbrook's OKC career? Dame Lillard.. Just kidding they are both great players Dame just needs a bit more talent from his team it's easy to have a playoff spot when you have a Harden scoring machine and one of the best coaches in the leauge
Idk, he would have to carry because I dont see him needing or wanting any other type of player, like a shooter or a big, But me and you and others can still hope
I've been watching him since he was a UCLA I'm not a thunder fan I'm a westbrook fan I am a fan of the rockets but you can call me a bandwagon but I'm a westbrook fan like all yall did with curry and lebron very underrated
This man right there inspired me to work hard inspired me to be something more I tried the triple double thing it helped my team so much it just taught me to not be lazy when rebounding If everyone had that same mentality in a game even if you can’t get the rebound at least trying to get it helps your rebounding chance so much Offensive and defensive rebounds I may be a point guard but I never stop if Westbrook doesn’t stop I shall not stop From a passive point guard into a scoring point guard I created so many more opportunities for my teammates when everybody is looking at me driving I just had to do a pocket pass or drive and kick to the 3 point line and my teammates would be open After they shoot I try to get the rebounds and it’s crazy how it works no doubt in my mind playing like that would not only condition my body for tougher moments when people try to double me I just had to fight for the rebounds if I can’t do anything and play it slow or call a screen Westbrook was just a different beast he changed my game and I’m Glad I looked up to such a man 👨 better than any curry Durant Paul George that is my opinion he would have won a ring if he just tweaked a little bit of his game and his game is the only one that people would be afraid of him because he has such a high risk of driving and kicking the ball out that’s crazy
No one ever talks bout this but his finishes (layups) around the rim is exceptionally good especially when he drives left....he doesnt use the pro hop...just 1 2 step or the hop step..and I have never seem him use a hook shot..its always the underhand. Also his splitting the defense...he splits the screen better than anyone else. Hes also the only point guard who posts up.
I really can’t believe people sit here and say this man is trash. He’s arguably one of the best point guards to ever play the game. If we’re talking strictly individual accomplishments, because championships are team accomplishments.
Overhated. This man is so entertaining to watch he made me a fan of basketball all the way back in 2012

bruce lau yup and some people don’t respect it
Russ will forever be an idol in OKC.

they kept saying that lmaoo
In 25 years some causal will be calling these highlights weak.
"THE RIM...is crying!"
I don't know what the RIM ever did to him to receive such persistent savagery from Russ. We'll have to ask him..lol
Russell is undeniably the best point guard of the new generation‼️ I hate that he has so much hate on his name.

I tried the triple double thing it helped my team so much it just taught me to not be lazy when rebounding
If everyone had that same mentality in a game even if you can’t get the rebound at least trying to get it helps your rebounding chance so much
Offensive and defensive rebounds I may be a point guard but I never stop if Westbrook doesn’t stop I shall not stop
From a passive point guard into a scoring point guard I created so many more opportunities for my teammates when everybody is looking at me driving I just had to do a pocket pass or drive and kick to the 3 point line and my teammates would be open
After they shoot I try to get the rebounds and it’s crazy how it works no doubt in my mind playing like that would not only condition my body for tougher moments when people try to double me I just had to fight for the rebounds if I can’t do anything and play it slow or call a screen
Westbrook was just a different beast he changed my game and I’m Glad I looked up to such a man 👨 better than any curry Durant Paul George that is my opinion he would have won a ring if he just tweaked a little bit of his game and his game is the only one that people would be afraid of him because he has such a high risk of driving and kicking the ball out that’s crazy
