- www.vladtv.com - In today's NBA you would hear a lot of criticism on how soft the game is officiated and how players flop a lot, but in Russell Westbrook's case, he was complimented by one of the NBA's most influential players ever, and a former MVP. In this exclusive footage, Westbrook gets word from a member of the media that he has a fan of sorts, former NBA MVP Allen Iverson. Westbrook, who was gracious of the compliments from Iverson, wasn't a huge basketball fan growing up but still thinks it's pretty awesome to have an icon speak on behalf of his name.
Also in the footage, Russell talks about wearing a mask due to facial injury/surgery, and he states he's more comfortable now wearing the mask and until a doctor clears him to not to wear the mask anymore he will do so. Westbrook also was unclear of how long it will be before he can stop wearing the mask.
Also in this footage, he was asked about his free throw shooting which was a huge issue for Russell, therefore he said he wanted to make improvements to his form and become a better FT shooter all together.
To close out the footage Russy had the opportunity to see fellow teammate Serge Ibaka's documentary by Grantland called "Son of Congo," which Russell said was a great movie and some great insight and life story about his teammate. Big props to Sneakerreporter for the footage! - บันเทิง
Westbrook got that nigga hand shaking n shit lol
Lmfao
lmao
LMFAOOO Im Cryin
Lmaoooooo tooo funny
228allday loooooool
Lol his sarcasm
+Khalil Young "nah i didnt watch basketball much"
+Luke Molloy I honestly believe he didn't watch much cause he said in an interview before that he joined high school and at gym lessons got basketball and seemed to be pretty good at it. So he started doing it more. He never really cared about basketball he was just really good at it.
Jumper76Anton good point but I read that Magic Johnson was his favorite player and Magic wouldn't have even been playing when Russ was growing up lmao. So he must've watched some of Magic's film. I just found it hard to believe that he wouldn't watch any basketball haha but I guess he was really focussed on school and basketball when he was growing up.
+Luke Molloy I've known some friends who are really in on playing ball with us (as in school team) and are pretty good at it, but never cared about the NBA. Lols. Not a great analogy, but I think it's very possible that a pro athlete just tries hard to be great at his craft and watching others play on TV just isn't worth their time. He might have also watched started watching Magic after he entered the league or somethin' so Magic can still be his favorite player.
+KayJayA7X It's possible. I played baseball for 20 years and even did minor league for 3 years and I rarely watched it on TV...i hated watching it on TV honestly.
did this nigga really just ask a young nba player whoes been playing basketball his whole life if he ever watched Allen Iverson play when he was growing up.
he was joking
+Paul Ruwe idk, there has been some nba players that never really watched the game, they just play it. it sounds like he's serious, but please clarify if i'm wrong.
+PajamaPantsMan It was sarcasm from both sides.
i see, thanks for clarifying.
+Mr. Popo westbrook hasn't been playing his whole life. He only got real about it in highschool
Why's the guy holding the iPhone twitching
+Peppa Pig Fear of the WESTBEAST!
+Good Man lmfaooooooooo LOL
+Peppa Pig yo i was wondering if i was the only one who noticed lol
+Peppa Pig On the left you have one of the world's top athletes. On the right you have a person so utterly unathletic their arm starts to shake after 30 seconds of holding up a device that weighs 4 ounces
lol. he is such a pussy.
I don't think he likes answer the media stupid questions he just does it so he doesn't get fined
+magicoke1 his wage per year? he don't give no fucks about fines.
+Antwon DeMarcus fines are costing more and more each year even wearing shoes that dont have the teams colors can be up too 7500 now
You ask dumb questions you get dumb replies
Hard to believe a guy with so much passion on the court didn't really watch the game or doesn't like to talk about it off the court. I guess when you're entire life has been "ball" you tend to want to live outside of it when you're not playing. Perfect example would be if you work at job where you answer the phone or make calls all day... you don't want to talk much after work. Makes sense.
That's if you doing something you don't like, thus it's called a job
JusLsn Its more that in your head you see every game way different and you focus more on the bad than the good.
JusLsn MJ actually never watched nba games growing up either. That might be one reason why he was so great - he wasn't confined by any "boundaries" of greatness he might have otherwise observed.
Kevin maybe. But I think he never had any boundaries to start with.
+JusLsn It's true, Floyd Mayweather said he doesn't even watch boxing lol the greatest of athletes never observe the success of others
He graciously accepted the compliment, who cares if he did not watch the NBA growing up, why is this an issue? and if he is trolling then good for him, maybe he would be more receptive to better questions.
Russ is the truth...his thunderous dunks are highly underrated and on sum shortbus shit!!!
Westbrook always looking angry like smile dude you have the life lol
He ain't watch Iverson or basketball growing up???? Tf!!!
i think he was fucking with him lol
Nah i can tell if he was joking or not he was serious he probably didn't watch basketball that much
I think he serious lol
Lol, he probably wasn't serious about basketball at the Time, it happens lol
*****
lol I was thinking that too but couldnt tell
"the eyes chico, they never lie"
westbrook got those i dont have it all upstairs eyes. straight lunatic. but thats also what makes him great. have to be a lil crazy to be great sometimes
1:35 iverson comment
I kinda feel like Russ only says that because the guy already said he probably watched Iverson growing up, so it's like damn fam you're asking me something you just answered for me, and he kinda makes a face after he says to tell you the truth. But he could be telling the truth too
I hope I'm not the only one looking at the XX9 PEs.
to everyone thinkin he serious with that comment
LOL
+Zach Gough LOL I thought he was serious and hoping he wasn't. Talkin bout when he said, no I didn't watch b ball growing up...I was like what ?? did he just say that? my fucking hero lol I hope u r right Zach :)
I think its actually true though, i heard he was nerdy growing up and didn't really get into basketball until high school or somethin. He said that if im correct
+Chaldo1000 oh damn if thats true thats crazy
You guys have bad comprehension, he doesn't look like he's joking, he didn't play it off like it was a joke, because it ain't a joke, you joker
I like how the guy holding the iphone shut off 30 seconds in
Good execution
he didnt watch A.I. comin up lmao...yea ok!
Dudes hands shaking so much I thought my phone started glitching
Reporter looked like Muhammad Ali holding the torch with that iphone...
I remember watching this when this first came out.
what Jordan shoes r those n the locker ne one know¿?
I was wondering why the iphone is so outdated until I check when was the video was uploaded
westbrook is definately one of the most interesting nba players both on and off the court
You can literally see him get progressively irritated during this interview 😂😂😂
0:32 Why is that guy in the back rubbing the locker?
If Russ or AI played cornerback or safety, the other teams passing attack would have to give up
Westbrook such an enigma. Plays angry like Kobe and AI but doesn't love to play. NBA to him is a job.
tubenachos - Well by the way he is playing these days that might be a good thing
tubenachos how would you know he doesn't like basketball? Are you his friend
I can see where he comes from I play football and I have always loved it but I have never really just watched it
Why is this on clad tv😂
"nah i don't watch basketball when i was growing up" realy nigga? is this some kind of a joke or wat.
Sometimes it's uncomfortable watching these types of videos because you can tell the player being interviewed is a bit uncomfortable and you just wish that you could chill and be friends with that player to know how he actually reacts around people he is comfortable with.
the marshawn lynch of nba. really dont love the game jus tolerate its
so I guess he watched tennis growing up I guess...
didn't watch that much basketball growing up but got complimented by Iverson?!? what the actual FUCK! WESTBROOK A BEAST BUT not watching basketball growing up is sort of inaccessible. No wonder he's always blowing off fans and when asked questions gets irritated.
Iverson hit a game winner on him
Nah I didn't watch basketball much growing up 😂😂😂
he seems like he hates the media lol
lmao at this title.
The catch to his game is his comment about not watching basketball growing up. He didn't patent or mimic his game after someone due to that.
The irony of all this is that he is the Allen Iverson of this era: A bigger, stronger Allen Iverson. Unlimited energy, off-court flashiness, freak athleticism, what else?
Not to mention he's capable of playing lockdown D, something iverson couldn't do.
+Wza456 True, but AI was really good at intercepting passing lanes and getting alot of steals.
Of course. AI is a legend and we love him in Philly for life, but looking at it objectively Russell has a chance to become an even better player than AI. Some could argue Russ already has. He's just a once-a-generation freak of nature type of player.
Wza456 I completely agree. I was just saying that although AI wasn't a great all around defender, he was very good at one aspect of it. I honestly feel like Westbrook has already surpassed AI in ability, he just needs the career numbers to validate it, which will come with time.
As far as AI not having the best on-ball defense, we'd be saying different if he were 6'3". If he had the strength and the height of Russell Westbrook, Russ would just be a carbon copy.
I played basketball but watched football.. bc the nigga played it doesn't mean he watched it.
Good execution.
AI and Westbrook, my two favorite players
How is this on vlads channel lmao
Dude holding the iPhone scared af
Westbrook so sarcastic
Them xx9's in the back
Tyler and Jamal. He's real, the realist player in the game. You see what you get. He isn't going to be sweet just because he's in the MVP race and try and fake it til he makes it. He is who he is and he answered those question honestly.
This man said I never watched basketball growing up! wow westbrook4mvp
woww he looks so angry
Didn't watch Basketball much growing up lol that's a stupid question answer love Russy
air Jordan 29 pe white upper blue jumpman red outsole another 2 by his right arm air Jordan 29 legend blue and the ones he wore in 2014 playoffs
The mask question was freaking stupid....
Russell Westbrook = Mr. Triple Double!!
the great michael ray richardson and latrell sprewell smushed together.
he didn't watch basketball growing up??, what??!!??
Maybe he should've watched some basketball growing up then maybe he'd know how to lead a team
I just seen an interview where he says he watched a lot of Kobe and Shaq growing up. So I knew he was lying about not watching basketball growing up.
I can see that he a LA kid
+antonio langston well he played in UCLA
I think Allen iverson likes the way westbrook executes .. agreed?
Dat shit was lame 3 weeks ago so it is definently dead now
westbrooks just reading something while she is talking
he sounds like cashnastygaming 😂😂😂
Russ: Who is he?
WB may have one of the worst attitudes in the NBA. I miss when guys like David Robinson were who kids looked up to.
why is that guy's hand shaking
How can he be so good and not watch basketball? When did he start?
Damn. Westbrook aint watch basketball growin up? Thats crazy
he was being sarcastic on saying he didnt watch ball....of course he did...wtf
Lol u don't know that XD. He probably just played the game. I dont watch soccer but I grew up playing it all the way till college.
yeah he is definitely being sarcastic of didn't watch basketball much, he is known for some dark humor and he was looking around for laughs after he said it but media were too dumb for that
no he is not
You neva watched basketball growing up. That makes no sense. So then what prompted you to develope the passion to play.
actually playing the game?
+LJ Davis SMh Yo I knew stars in college and hi-school that were not big fans of the game. Just because you play doesn't make you a fan. He said he didn't watch basketball "much" when he was growing up he didn't say I never watched basketball...Sometimes these dudes can be as ridiculous as the media can be..
Are people sure he was being sarcastic about that comment? Bc I actually know people who are insanely good at basketball but don't watch the NBA at all
The Truth...Salute!
Lol Russy must got a problem with AI or something, a legend big ups you and thats how you respond? Russy to me is the 2nd best player on the planet behind LeBron, you don't get as good as he is without watching basketball. I don't know who he thought would believe that
He was being sarcastic since it was a dumb question. Who didn't watch AI?
Take those damn earphones out when talking to people and look them it to the eyes! show some respect man...
What did u watch??
1:30
WHO THE HELL LED GHETTOGOSSIP DJVLAD IN OKC LOCKERROOM?!
He spends the whole interview talking about his teammates and thanking Iverson for the compliment, saying it's a huge honor, and yet everyone is talking shit about him? When did the NBA fanbase become such a community of butthurts, that unless a player sits exactly right and speaks exactly the right way, he's an asshole? Players in this league used to talk so much trash, to both opposing teams and sometimes even their teammates if they weren't performing, that for him to be considered an asshole just because he wasn't jumping for joy after his billionth interview is ridiculous.
don't know if that was sarcasm or disrespect
russell dont really like interviews...
Westbrook cannot conceal his hatred for local media, and you can tell just how cowed and cowardly they are.
He frm Compton but AI love his game.
Jamal Wyche He's from Long Beach...
+Nigga's Trippin Ima check tht
He got no emotion lmaoo
Lmao white guy was nervous af
Lol
I didn't watch him growing up🧢🧢🧢
its common ethics to look at people who are talking to you, its like you don't take talking to the community seriously. sadly its his arrogance that drains a lot of his skills (i am talking about his stupid decisions)
He say he ain't even watch basketball... Damn. Straight up android! Shout out go Russ and AI
now we all know where the no pass mentality comes from he didn't watch magic
mark Jackson, Stockton or j kidd ok westbrook we all forgive u now
mqmoreno23 he said he didn't watch basketball much so that also means he didn't watch ball hogs like Allen Iverson Kobe Bryant Michael Jordan and others so I don't get you're point it's illogi8
illogical
A.I. better than Westbroke like player and human too
He's not a better player than Westbrook.
Better dude,you can talk that if you dont seen how he played
Allen isn't because Russell Westbrook is more athletic and can fire up his whole team with his dunks and his intensity AI is one of the best of all time don't get me wrong
Matt Greatorex ok man,may be you right but who in 2001 goes to the finals with lame ass team?won MVP,make 17 games 40+?without crayzy athletism,but with biggest heart?At the time Russ play in mutant ninja turtles in your backyard,for that reason he ain see how play A.I.
Devon Hutton A.I > Westbrook
westbrook #mvp
The person who says Westbrook better knows nothing about basketball. Ai has 7 scoring titles lead the league in steals 3 years straight. Average 34 pounts and 7 assist one season. Career high 61 points I believe. Yes Westbrook jumps higher and is a bigger player but not better than Ai. Until Westbrook lead a stat in the nba never mention him with ai. And for the record ai was top 5 in assist before.
I know this is late but in case u didn't notice Westbrook won the scoring title and he's leading the league in assists ATM idiot, so ignorant.
Amie Riddles At the time I put this he did not led anything. But for the record he still not better than Ai. Ai has to many things that has not been duplicated like average 33 points 7 assist 3 steals a game or average over 30 points for five seasons. All this at 6 feet 165 pounds. The closest to a is Steph Curry and he still not doing what Ai did my guy
Russell Trollbrook
Why is he so arrogant?
VOTE RUSSELL WESTBROOK FOR MVP
I bet he would beat the fuck out somebody lol
Am I the only one who noticed how fucked up his arms are??
SkullzOnYT Needle too.
I agree with you he is Ignorant
Do the people in the word think Westbrook can be the best❓❔❓❔🏀🏀🏀
