Starting is not the same as putting him in a position to succeed and running plays and playstyles that complement him. For example: Vogel didn't run a single high PnR or Spain PnR for him. He would hide him in the dunker spot or on the wing to catch-shoot. Had him screening at some point. If you trade for Curry and put him in the dunker spot, then complain... even though he started every game, whose fault is it?
@@bluesrockfan36 it seems like you missed the beginning of the season where they had him playing the Point, and he was so bad that eventually LeBron had to take over. They put Russ in those positions later on to avoid having him cause more chaos. The amount of turnovers he’s done, let alone how many of those led to points for the opposing team are his fault. His defense is also nonexistent, but that goes for the whole Lakers team, so it is what it is there.
In some fairness to Russ, Washington REALLY wanted him back, even if they got some assets in return. In fact, the owner issued a statement (disguised as a veiled jab at Russ wanting out), where he talked about the lack of loyalty in the NBA, compared to the NHL. And, it's been each team wanting him too. Houston wanted him first. Then, Washington (including Bradley Beal) wanted him, all before the Lakers (as it's said, Lebron & AD) wanted him in LA.

Westbrick back at it again, The man wants to take no accountability for shooting airballs, blowing dunks and layups, playing no defense and he has the nerve to blame Frank Vogel for his bad play this season smh.
18 8 and 7 on 44% for the season. That's all-star level numbers. The last 10 games, in their play-in push: 22 8 and 8 on 52% Fg and 42 3p%. Meanwhile Vogel had 41 different lineups. AD and LBJ missed a combined 61 games. Lebron had the airball that ended the season with the Pelicans. Yea. Russ should be accountable... for WHAT? Sounds like you didn't watch a single Laker game and just Skip's reels.
That's just ignorant. The coach designes the play. Run plays that your players excel and have excelled at executing their entire career. For example: Vogel didn't run a _single_ high PnR or Spain PnR in the entire season with Russ as the ballhandler. The best teams run them constantly. He won an MVP running these plays. How do you expect Russ to get a higher assist to TO ratio if the coach gives Stanely Johnson the greenlight to run the fast breaks, instead of Russ on of the greatest transition playmakers in history? How do you expect Russ to excel, if coach routinely puts geriatric lineups alongside him, lineups that won't run the fast break. I can't count how many times I've seen Russ jump up and down in the half court telling them to move, as Carmelo and LBJ _walked_ the ball up.
I never liked him as a player, now we understand why KD left and why he hast been in 4 different teams in the ladt 5 years. Something Is wrong.

Westbrooks lack of accountability for his poor play, is what leads people to put most of the blame in his direction, if he just spoke better to the media after losses, less attention would be focused on him about the Lakers struggles
Its not just the accountability, he is just really not a good player. He’s been overrated for the longest because of his stats and MVP, but it’s been clear FOREVER now that he doesn’t make teams better or help them win.

@@bluesrockfan36 no he said it was a bad season bc he didn’t average a triple double he didn’t mention anything about making the playoffs or the record
Those who've been criticising Westbrick since 2012 have had that 'I told you so' look all season. He's the lowest IQ point guard in the NBA, completely delusional.
Trae Young lead the league in turnovers but he's the best player on a team with little help. Russ had LeBron and AD for some games and came in 2nd. The stats they listed are absurd
@@JordanRA He's tied for #7 in TO per game, man. Are you seriously penalizing the guy for playing 15 games more than everyone? 3pt percentage? Wtf? Russ has never been a 3pt shooter. What's next? You're going to complain about Curry's dunk%?
@@bluesrockfan36 he’s tied for 5th with 3.8 and one of the people ahead of him is Paul George who played like 20 games this year. He’s also the only one in the top 20 who isn’t the best or second best player that is averaging that many turnovers. Can’t believe your seriously defending him.
Lebron played a part most definitely but all because he wanted it don’t mean the front office had to listen to him. They could’ve rejected his proposal. It’s everybody fault.
I have watched this clip maybe almost 10 times already. This is one of my FAV Skip and Shannon segments EVER omg they have me dying and I keep laughing even though I’ve seen it. Getting me through work 😂
The one problem I see that isn't discussed about Russel alot of the time is his rebounding. By trying to get rebounds, he is sacrificing the fastbreak. And this is where basketball IQ comes into play, as a PG he must know when his bigs need help and when they don't. He should be ready to run (his athleticism is best used here IMO) when his bigs is sure to get the ball and be ready to help when they are struggling inside the paint.
@@shawnkeith2414 it's LeBron why Russ is second in turnovers, last in 3 point shooting, and not trying at all on defense? How about Russ blowing 35% of dunks this year? That LeBron too?
@@shawnkeith2414 bruh Lebron isn’t off the hook either, he’s responsible for the moves they made. But the fact that people r saying that Russ needs to be traded says all that you need to know about how well he can adapt and fix his problems that he’s been had for a decade now. Cmon bro, yeah his personal feats r impressive but he doesn’t provide anything consistent that’s required to win in the playoffs. I don’t know how u guys defending Russ can’t see that.
Russ didn't develop his game with a jump shot and with taking care of the ball. I give him credit for playing hard but it doesn't balance out because he is so reckless and loose with the ball. I am shocked the LBJ and AD thought this would work.
Yes. Can we blame Goat James for endorsing him? Smartest IQ in basketball but wanted Russ instead of anyone else speaks volumes. Shannon is letting his fandom blind him. Lebron did this.
@@freddyp319 u right. But saying that, your accepting that Russ is the player that he is. The man doesn’t bring anything consistent that’s required to win in the playoffs. If we just going to accept that Russ is what he is, than he’s never going to win. I can criticize him because our criticism would result in him being a way better player and potentially wining a chip. I don’t accept that, I believe the man can change, he just stubborn.
And it’s a joke because we’ve seen guys like Giannis and Lonzo Ball get better at shooting because they worked on it. Westbrick has no excuse to still be a terrible shooter after being in the league for 10 years. Shooting below 30% from 3 on the season is pathetic.
@@freddyp319 Russ wasn’t the only guy bron and AD wanted my guy but once they realized they couldn’t get buddy Neil’s and derozan they should’ve just stopped trying to push for big named player. Should’ve stacked role players
@@ashtonsingh9464 Stubborn or not, he can develop into another player on another team. He's a circus act, got paid to perform triple doubles but we don't care about that in L.A.
Shannon and Skip have both been bringing some HOT HEAT on the Westbrook topic. From Shay sweating through his suit and wiping his forehead to Skip playing lowlights to circus music. Been a GOOD year for Undisputed
Russ must be one of the most hardest working and dedicated athletes ever. Otherwise, he wouldn't be reaching the level of greatness he did having absolutely zero self awareness.
Russ actually threw the only possible person in the team that backed him up I have lost any respect I had for him because of this and I had not that much to begin with for him
Backed him? This is the same guy when asked if he wanted Russ gone at the deadline said: "We'll do anything we can to make our team better"? Lmao. Vogel never had his back.
It brings in views mate, compare the views to Laker discussions as compared to the videos where they talk about Jokic or Luka. The Lakers have by far the most views, So if it ain't broke don't fix it 🤷♂️
This whole season looked like Bron said to Brodie day 1, "Just do your thing. That's why you're here. We got you!". Then AD and LBJ skipped out to DL Land. Westbrook was the only dude to give 100.
I don't think I've heard not once this entire season, where Russ said, "This game was my fault. I should've played better. That was my bad." He can't take ownership of his own problems. Fair chance???
Translation: Lakers never boxed out for him to get all the rebounds, LeBron and AD never posted up down low to give to get at least 10 assist, and the Lakers never isolated for him to drive to the lane so he could “earn” his triple double every game.
I knew this team wasn’t going anywhere once we traded for him, heck every true laker fan knew that. Everyone knows that lebron needs needs shooters defenders and just smart players. This was the case after lebrons last truly elite defensive season, 2016 championship. Russ doesn’t have any of those qualities and also requires the ball to operate when everyone knows lebron must have the ball because he is the greatest playmaker in nba history since magic Johnson. As soon as we got Russ, I knew we were doomed.

You’re trippin haaaaaaaard son 😂 Russ put up some great numbers as a laker he played hard scored points, rebounded the ball was a great teammate you’re another hater those people were right take a hike pipsqueak
Russ was unbelievable as a Laker he scored points rebounded the ball played very aggressively played with lots of hustle what more do you want from a basketball player? And to mention he was a great teammate so a great player who can put the ball in the basket a good teammate, a good rebounder you are another hater, bro those people were right take a hike pipsqueak 🤡
@@danielhuffman8752 your right the worst 3 point shooter out of every qualified player when he was on the lakers, lead the league in turnovers, low free throw percentage, refused to come off the bench and made sure everyone knew just how unhappy he was. Great teammate everyone wants him call the Celtics I’m sure they would love to have him on a championship team lmao.
@@brennancondon3357 blah blah blah blah blah all pure bs coming from your mouth another hater
Shannon is an ultimate competitor. All he cares about is winning and he’s always made clear that he wants people to win as much as he does. I cannot imagine how upset Russ made him with this press conference
Russ is like a middle school kid that just got in trouble but wants to blame everyone else.
💯 can't take responsibility. Those are some of the most frustrating individuals out there.
Didn't he just say he played bad this season?
@@Greenfrom3 you guys are lame go watch the presss he takes accountability Smfh get your faxxx
@Whyyoumadatfacts? 🤷♂️ After every bad game of the season too. You're just a clueless sheep feeding off whatever the media tells you to believe.
@@bluesrockfan36 no he said it was a bad season bc he didn’t average a triple double he didn’t mention anything about making the playoffs or the record
Love Shannon, just goes all out he even broke a sweat 😂😂
Those who've been criticising Westbrick since 2012 have had that 'I told you so' look all season. He's the lowest IQ point guard in the NBA, completely delusional.
Puck, you aren't in any position to talk about IQ.
@@bluesrockfan36 bro why do you stan westbrook like why would you even do that
@@bluesrockfan36 he has when he's comparing nba players
@@bluesrockfan36 lmao ur a legend troll to be able to defend russell westbrick , i almost admire you lmao
@@mantoniol24 bro Istg😂😂😂😂 mans devotion to the cause rivals westbrooks delusion it’s beautiful 😭😭🥹
Trading away kuzma Caruso and kcp really hurt the lakers this season
That bull in a China sweatshop joke gets me every time 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think a china shop is one that has dinnerware plates bowls
Trae Young lead the league in turnovers but he's the best player on a team with little help. Russ had LeBron and AD for some games and came in 2nd. The stats they listed are absurd
You are a clown and anybody else still defending him is lmao. This is why he is the way he is… softies defending him until the end
To be fair, Russ did say in some post game interviews he has to do better but they were very few. With that said, this take is still legendary hahah
God I miss these two together
Unc Shay was in sermon mode. 😭
"i think he thinks he's beyond magic johnson." i'm dead Skip 😂
Brogdon and Heild would be so perfect.
13:32 skip Bayless: “really? I didn’t hear that from him. Good for him!”
Skip will never miss an opportunity to throw shade at bron 😂
Shannon 💯💯💯 as always
“All I know is air ball” -skip bayless
At the end man a savage😂
All those missed layups but u didn’t get a chance russ 😂😂😂
2nd most turnovers, what about all those chances Russ 🤷♂️🤷♂️. Worst 3 point percentage in the League, what about all those chances 🤡
🤣🤣
@@JordanRA He's tied for #7 in TO per game, man. Are you seriously penalizing the guy for playing 15 games more than everyone? 3pt percentage?
Wtf? Russ has never been a 3pt shooter.
What's next? You're going to complain about Curry's dunk%?
@@bluesrockfan36 he’s tied for 5th with 3.8 and one of the people ahead of him is Paul George who played like 20 games this year. He’s also the only one in the top 20 who isn’t the best or second best player that is averaging that many turnovers. Can’t believe your seriously defending him.
@@bluesrockfan36 you going to defend him missing dunks, layups and free throws too huh?
"Winning isn't everything" lmao man that was it for me . Russ don't irritate me anymore he just doesn't have the mindset
5:01 Russ got Shannon so rialed up he had to take off his glasses 😂
😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Lebron is the sole reason the Lakers brought on Westbrook, he should be blamed.
How you know?
LeBronica sucks
So lebron owns the lakers ? He is def not the sole reason
Lebron played a part most definitely but all because he wanted it don’t mean the front office had to listen to him. They could’ve rejected his proposal. It’s everybody fault.
Love bron but he needs to stop playing gm cuz we all know he plays a part in team formations
I have watched this clip maybe almost 10 times already. This is one of my FAV Skip and Shannon segments EVER omg they have me dying and I keep laughing even though I’ve seen it. Getting me through work 😂
Westbrook:
“Skip never gave me a fair shot”
Even 8 months later, this is an all time classic segment from these two. I return to this video often
“Defiantly Delusional” is so accurate man 😂
The one problem I see that isn't discussed about Russel alot of the time is his rebounding. By trying to get rebounds, he is sacrificing the fastbreak. And this is where basketball IQ comes into play, as a PG he must know when his bigs need help and when they don't. He should be ready to run (his athleticism is best used here IMO) when his bigs is sure to get the ball and be ready to help when they are struggling inside the paint.
Somewhere......Steven Adams therapist knows lolol.
because he wanted his triple double. he didnt give a damn about winning just wanted to say he got his triple double so it must be the team.
He started every game wym fair chance 🤦🏽♂️
Right gosh dude
Felt dumb
Probably means more opportunities/better system
Will he be back next season?
@@IWantToMature85 I hope so, he averaged good numbers
Charles Barkley about to drag y’all lol and Shannon sweating like he just got through with a sermon 😂😂
Another non winning player lol
Looking like he could bust out a "Can i get an Amen up in here?! Y'all don't hear me..." at any moment!! 😭😭😭
Only thing Barkley dragging is a 20pc bucket of KFC
Who is Charles Barkley supposed to be? He got not one championship to show for it ..
Russ is so thick headed to realize he’s not good
IT'S NOT RUSSELL WESTBROOK IT'S LEBRON FAULT
@@shawnkeith2414 its lebron's fault Westbrook turns the ball over , airball shots , hitting the backboard ??
@@shawnkeith2414 it's LeBron why Russ is second in turnovers, last in 3 point shooting, and not trying at all on defense? How about Russ blowing 35% of dunks this year? That LeBron too?
@@shawnkeith2414 bruh Lebron isn’t off the hook either, he’s responsible for the moves they made. But the fact that people r saying that Russ needs to be traded says all that you need to know about how well he can adapt and fix his problems that he’s been had for a decade now.
Cmon bro, yeah his personal feats r impressive but he doesn’t provide anything consistent that’s required to win in the playoffs.
I don’t know how u guys defending Russ can’t see that.
@@ashtonsingh9464 He isn’t off the hook, but he damn sure isn’t to blame for Westbrook being trash
Had to come back to watch. This was prime undisputed 😔💔 my favorite show is over
He is a point guard. He points and blames everyone else.
Shannon seems truly angered by Russ, stuttering, messing up his words, sweating. Shannon is a real fan.
Russ didn't develop his game with a jump shot and with taking care of the ball. I give him credit for playing hard but it doesn't balance out because he is so reckless and loose with the ball. I am shocked the LBJ and AD thought this would work.
Yes. Can we blame Goat James for endorsing him? Smartest IQ in basketball but wanted Russ instead of anyone else speaks volumes. Shannon is letting his fandom blind him. Lebron did this.
@@freddyp319 u right. But saying that, your accepting that Russ is the player that he is. The man doesn’t bring anything consistent that’s required to win in the playoffs.
If we just going to accept that Russ is what he is, than he’s never going to win.
I can criticize him because our criticism would result in him being a way better player and potentially wining a chip.
I don’t accept that, I believe the man can change, he just stubborn.
And it’s a joke because we’ve seen guys like Giannis and Lonzo Ball get better at shooting because they worked on it. Westbrick has no excuse to still be a terrible shooter after being in the league for 10 years. Shooting below 30% from 3 on the season is pathetic.
@@freddyp319 Russ wasn’t the only guy bron and AD wanted my guy but once they realized they couldn’t get buddy Neil’s and derozan they should’ve just stopped trying to push for big named player. Should’ve stacked role players
@@ashtonsingh9464 Stubborn or not, he can develop into another player on another team. He's a circus act, got paid to perform triple doubles but we don't care about that in L.A.
I wish we could talk about the teams that are doing good this year and not one of the worst teams in the league 😂
Not happening bruh
You think anyone wants to watch someone talk about the grizzlies?
I wish folks would either get up and watch the show in the mornings, or not click on videos that get them triggered.
I agree, but I’m glad they’re going off on Russ. He 150% deserves it. Mostly because he’s taken no accountability.
4 teams in 4 years! Wow!
5 teams 4 years now
This got to be the funniest segment in Undisputed history. Shannon was hot and voiced the opinion of millions of Lakers fans.
Westbrook be stressing Shannon out 😂😅
Unc was debating as hard as russ plays 🤣 spitting facts though as always 💯
I’ve always HATED the argument that Westbrook plays HARD yet he plays RECKLESS and OUT OF CONTROL
Reckless and hard are two different things. And most people confuse the two.
Loool plays hard but no defence, make that make sense.
Shannon and Skip have both been bringing some HOT HEAT on the Westbrook topic. From Shay sweating through his suit and wiping his forehead to Skip playing lowlights to circus music. Been a GOOD year for Undisputed
Russ must be one of the most hardest working and dedicated athletes ever. Otherwise, he wouldn't be reaching the level of greatness he did having absolutely zero self awareness.
This is easily Shannon Sharpe's most iconic and passionate rant of all time.
Shannon is hilarious sometimes... what good is a bull if he's breaking up stuff reference was insane 🤣🤣
Whenever I need a laugh, I watch this
Russ had been so terrible that’s he was consistently having skip and Shannon agreeing with eachother 😂😂
Not a Laker fan, but I sympathize with everyone who had to suffer watching their season go down in flames
Shannon is hilarious when going off like this
Russ actually threw the only possible person in the team that backed him up I have lost any respect I had for him because of this and I had not that much to begin with for him
Backed him? This is the same guy when asked if he wanted Russ gone at the deadline said: "We'll do anything we can to make our team better"?
Lmao.
Vogel never had his back.
Preach Shannon, preach! Everything he said about West brick is so true, let the church say Amen!😇
Unc was going in today he’s absolutely right😂😂🔥🔥
Shannon on one today 🤣😂 I like Russ but his play and those comments don't help his case.
“idk what his problem was w me”
LMAOOOOOOO
The season will start soon once more and I can't wait to come back to this video again 😂
Preach Shannon! you can let 20 games a year Davis go as well!
Most heated agreement of all time
Must be nice to be the most talked about non-playoff team in NBA history
Well yeah, the Lakers are one of, if not the most successful franchises in the NBA
when you have a team at the beginning of the season that has a legitimate chance of winning a title they should be talked about a ton
It brings in views mate, compare the views to Laker discussions as compared to the videos where they talk about Jokic or Luka. The Lakers have by far the most views, So if it ain't broke don't fix it 🤷♂️
Yeah but the Lakers are the most successful franchise in NBA history so of course they are going to get talked about unlike the clippers
Ratings
I'm sick of Russbrick always complaining.
Love Shannon! He keeps it real. These days we have bias analysts
Just by seeing Uncle Shay Shay wiping off sweating bullets just defines how frustrated we all are with Russ
The anger is he has refused to change his playstyle that will help the team win, athleticism is declining. Can't see him as a starter next season
This was an All-Time great segment😮💨🤣🤣
Imma Westbrook fan…..but sadly, imma have to agree with Shannon🤦🏾♂️
I was until that vid
This whole season looked like Bron said to Brodie day 1, "Just do your thing. That's why you're here. We got you!". Then AD and LBJ skipped out to DL Land. Westbrook was the only dude to give 100.
I don't think I've heard not once this entire season, where Russ said, "This game was my fault. I should've played better. That was my bad." He can't take ownership of his own problems. Fair chance???
Your delusional he’s done it a few times and recently aswell
Fun to watch clipper blooper reels coming soon
“Never gave him a chance” ???? Bro WHAT?!😐
Never did.
@5:40 that was 11 years before Russ was even born.
It always blows me away that Skip is as old as he is. My mans looks great.
He said what? Mm, really. Okay. This is why we (@ least me anyway) never thought he was going to work out.
I like when skip and shannon actually agree on stuff
If it wasn’t for the triple double seasons and that one MVP. Westbrook wouldn’t even be sniffing the HOF
If !!!
Translation: Lakers never boxed out for him to get all the rebounds, LeBron and AD never posted up down low to give to get at least 10 assist, and the Lakers never isolated for him to drive to the lane so he could “earn” his triple double every game.
he started everygame and played the most minutes out of everyone... so what does he think is a fair chance
When he said earlier in the season “winning isn’t everything” that’s when I knew this team wasn’t going anywhere.
I knew before the start of the season
“I didn’t have any expectations” told us all we need to know
I knew this team wasn’t going anywhere once we traded for him, heck every true laker fan knew that. Everyone knows that lebron needs needs shooters defenders and just smart players. This was the case after lebrons last truly elite defensive season, 2016 championship. Russ doesn’t have any of those qualities and also requires the ball to operate when everyone knows lebron must have the ball because he is the greatest playmaker in nba history since magic Johnson. As soon as we got Russ, I knew we were doomed.
I swear
@@itsjustkameron5799 yep
A sincere thanks to Russ. Finally Skip and Shannon can agree on something
