Rest In Peace KB3
Will you please just shut the hell up? Don't give me any sob story about Westbrook. He was a hell a lot more fortunate than millions of kids whom grew up in bad surroundings, he should just feel lucky about where he is now and shut up!
Snicky G Dude KB3 meant alot to Westbrook you dont need to be mean like that so chill the hell out.
Snicky G Just because his situation is still better than someone else’s don’t mean it’s not a sad story. You’re hella ignorant bruh just keep off the internet.
Snicky G chill the fuck out that was his best buddy
@@snickyg1717 if your best friend died, you wouldn't say that
his best friend is proud from heaven may he rest in peace
i live a street down from Ross Synder Park 😂 ghetto ass park honestly I see why Russ is so tough
javier anaya that's The Hoodpark! 😂
javier anaya ph shit is that the park in gta lmao
Phantom Lmao
javier anaya bruh frl! If I were you I'd be happy to be around where a legend started
Jesse Owen's park is rolling 90s hood too
"In fact, he wasn't even the highest ranking Westbrook!" Had me dead.
Jason Z. He aint the highest rated russel either LOL
Same
Your prolly one of the most underrated TH-camrs...good content bruh💯
Faiz Riyas *You're

Faiz Riyas true af
Faiz Riyas iii
+Nad1r OK I know its messed up but kd done turn it around

Daz So Trash
Screw KD
Tony N could any thing worse happen to him
Tony N fr
Tony N True that's fucked up
my older brother actually played against Westbrook,and bars a few times in California cif tournaments
Yeah, and I'm the great grandson of M Gandhi
Navin haha
Navin if you live in socal and play aau you'll run into all Americans
ty wayne rlly
ty wayne and I went to hs with Kyle Lowry
I wanted Harden to win MVP, but now I see how much struggle he went through in life, I want Russell to win MVP.
So inspirational! Why would anyone dislike this video?? Wtf??
Look at Westbrook man so inspirational
Good vid man!! This deserves more publicity
thanks dude!
Russell Westbrook has to win the MVP this year. It will not make any sense if any other player wins.
Yoshiki G he did
Yoshiki G I mean if u watch the nba u would know harden kawhi or bron could win it even tho he will win
Blorox Bleach bron can't
Osn lonzo Jersey he can't because he's out of top three but he could every year
no JamesHarden
Westbrook is one of THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE NBA!!
Julius Harris duh
Your comment clearly shows you don’t know much about basketball
@@jimmygageaveritt9617 Jimmy Gage has spoken 🤓🤓🤓🤓
Nah anthony davis and lebron are
Yeah no shit
R.I.P kb3🏀😪💯
Rip
Speediii _ 🙏🏻

I know this is a basketball based video but there's also lots of rumors that Russ had a very high GPA throughout high school, somewhere between 3.9-4.0. I feel like that adds to his greatness as he was able to stay a competitive baller and kept his grades up at the same time.
I'm an OKC fan, and even I didn't even know this. Great vid man! Keep up the good work!
x Gon your kidding right??? They about to get swept by the blazers. This guy isn’t a bandwagon.....
@@Liam-zo4jm sorry dude. It was a bad joke . I'm going to delete it
x Gon nah it’s fine I kind of got protective i over reacted
he lost alot of friends
I love Russell Westbrook💪🏾 He inspires millions of people being able to keep pushing after what he’s been through. A lot of basketball players⛹️♀️ and other public figures are able to still strive and not give up after where they came from🗣❤️
How this dude grow 6 inches in under a year.
ShnugFlug puberty :v
ShnugFlug I grew 8 inches in a year when I was 12. It just happens 😂
Growth spirt
karsten. When I was 11 years old I was 4'10 now I'm 13 I'm 5'8
Well I was 4'6" in my HS freshman year and now I'm 5'9"
RUSSELL WESTBROOK THE REAL MVP FOREAL
Russell Westbrook was once the best perimeter defender in the draft...thank god he turned out to be an offensive juggernaut or else he woulda been a bust considering what they wanted him for
Facts lmao they drafted him to be a defensive specialist
I’ve heard Russ’s story many times and this is easily the best
Been binge watching your vids man. Glad I found you, you make good content!
Your stories are amazing you deserve way more subscribers keep the good work👍
I love u Westbrook respect
Another trivia: at the age of 9 russel westbrook also meet james harden at L.A/ Westbrook has a high I.Q "3.9 GP" He was offered a Academic Scholarship in Stanford not a Varsity Scholarship
how do all of these NBA players get tall as fuck out of no where
its a blessing
Chris Paul is that Chris Paul? Are u going back to the Pelicans?
+Sloth Curry
Yes it is! Could you please tell him that I said "Hi!" to him, because I'm scared to do that myself?
*cough* Stephen Curry *cough cough*
Swifterjet122 alright i got you
Omg he was such an adorable child. God bless Westbrook. My favorite NBA player of all times
This channel lit subbed here before 1 million
First his friend dies then durant leaves him, that is just sad, but he is THE GOAT Stay strong westbrook
Paul George nigga ain't u on the same team is him?
Why do all of Westbrook friends names start with k
Nate Anderson Kevin Durant 😂😂
Nate Anderson Kevin Love
Nate Anderson James Harden
SimplyMinimalist 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nate Anderson Kevin Durant, nevermind
Westbrook is my favorite current player.
myfatcousin1 same
myfatcousin1 but he is favorite of all time
wow.you never truly know the reasons of someones actions till you know the story
#neverjudgeabookbythecover
I can understand his vigor and ferocity on court, #respect
And yet he's still one of the G.O.A.T's
4MLGAMERS , damn right
Who shitted in your head
Amazing vid man

King Reyes he did
Hyena Studios we know fuckhead
Memorize It no it was James hardeb

Hyena Studios no, tf?
Still watching 💪💪💪 February 14, 2022
man I love the passion that this dude plays with.
Crazy bc us back then never expected he’d be slandered in this new era
Now you know why Russell plays with a chip on his shoulder. He even said in an interview that he plays with a chip on his shoulder, but never went into detail why. I guess this explains it. Also explains why he plays like there's two people inside one body. He has an relentless motor.
Just came across your channel and I'm immensely surprised by how good your videos are. It's like a spitting image of Mike Korzemba's videos. I subscribed, would like to see your channel prosper with all this great content!
I wonder who were here when he got traded 3 times in a span of 3 years.
super sad I wish the media would at least show him some respect.
Its hard to lost someone you love i know that feeling😭
Much love and respect. Phenomenal video. Phenomenal player.
Jimmy butler's story was probably the best
Kawhi
Sorry late comment but nice profile pic
2Chili no LBJ
Nice video. The background music as the story progresses is hyping me up!
This video is lit
Your content is great man. I feel inspired and motivated by Westbrook's mentality. Imma train until I'm one of the best💯🏀
Westbrook is still underrated till this day top 3 point guard in the nba today
Ball hog
Just to let you know I am your 704th subscriber so if your channel blows up I can show this to people who don't believe that I've been with you since the start. Also you are very underrated
real nice video
thanks!
Yea
Every one has a story but he was blessed with two loving and supportive parents so he had it alot better then alot of other people it is tough to loose some one though
Andy Hoops in 2017: russell westbrook is a superstar
Andy Hoops in 2021: russell westbrook is a horrible player
Thank you for this story.
there was a Russel Westbrook ad for the video
Seeing Westbrook projected to go to the knicks and the supersonics reaching for him shows how depressing it is being a knicks fan
who else came to the comments to see if this was clickbait........
Kasim Brown the reason why I came to the comments because I wanted to see if there was any trolls spreading hate, even on a sad and heartbreaking video.
Why would it be clickbait?????
You're fuckin weird
@Kasim Brown
This story....... Is the BEST nba story ever!
I’m sure Kelce is still cheering Westbrook on in heaven 💯💯
Dam this shit so crazy cuz Jesse Owens is down the street from me and been to all the places Russell has been at that shit dope af
nice videos u deserve more than 8.6
I'm enjoying this channel It's may first time to hear Westbrook Story... I'm waiting for the next update...
This sounds like my 7th grade resilience project... crap I gotta get that done
SuperCrystal Gaming u finished?
Westbrook is something else. Never seen a player with an engine like him. 190 Triple Doubles. Say no more?
The thunder dont deserve any credit for how good theyve been it was really the sonics who were the masterminds behind drafting westbrook and durant
Its the same front office though
Gus Morton they get rid of everyone expect for the players
nah sam presti was the GM in seattle and okc
Sam Allen they don't get rid of everybody
Sam Allen the guys who drafted Westbrook and Durant in Seattle are the same guys who drafted Harden in OKC. There the same guys. I mean probably a slight change, but not a huge change
WOW.Nice vid man!
So sad😭
Beautiful story, what a journey well done Westbrook and rip KB3😭💔
Just imagine Westbrook behind Collison
Oh my god, this right here man smh just made me love Westbrook even more, I have to meet this dude man 🙏🏾
Cool vid and what about him and James harden growing up with each other
Im a Filipino huge fan of Russ Westbrook he always gives entertainment like his dunks and crossover moves
I feel bad for his best friend
Major respect for Westbrook
Baller
Great to see a basketball player who actually tries
Russ is 6"4 right now not 6"3 but 6"4 is still point guard height like John Wall
6'' 3' as a senior
2017 Nba Playoffs Recap nope not anymore. He's 6"5
6'5 now
2017 Nba Playoffs Recap Y'all are idiots he is 6'3" irl
+Liam Neale Listed 6'3, more like 6'5. Look at him compared to Harden, they're the same height
Respect Brodie. Love you man
2:04 Just like him and KD, sigh
love this guy
Isn't his full name Russel Westbrook III?
Obi Chukwura Russell Westbrook III
Russ was my favorite player wayyy before this. Now I like him even more
I never knew Russel's best friend was Kevin Love ;O
5 Years later he is still a superstar for the lakers
Hey look, that's my high school
Thank you Andy!!! really helped
Westbrook fires on three yes siiiiir.
He’s my favorite nba player and my role model
Just to think khelcey could've become an amazing player in the NBA
Amazing video bro frfr 🔥🔥
I wish the mock draft was right
Nick mrakovcic salty knicks fans smh
Man coming out of college westbrook was seen as a lockdown defender... But I dont know how he became a defensive liability on the Lakers now
Because he exhausts him self on O
Damn Westbrook lost his best friend , James harden , Kevin Durant , Paul George , and OKC.
And now you 😢
Russell Westbrook I’m sorry for your loss of Kelsey but he’s in heaven
hes actually 6'5
with shoes
King Of 2K lol
Alex Reid 6'4"*
6'3
Ketaurean Fields 6'5
Great video keep doing more stories they're interesting
Bill Chapman I have the same name as u
My aunt went to high school with westbrook
STEVE YOUNGER yer right
STEVE YOUNGER and my dad is bill gates
Gaming- _ -Machine23923 ya never know he might be tellin the truth
STEVE YOUNGER quit lying
Adam Mahmood yeah agreed, it's not that crazy. I got a friend who is this big 6'4" white kid, a real gentle giant type, who played AAU against Chris Paul in NC.
Has a couple stories that are hilarious of Paul just humiliating him.
Lots of people have random brushes with greatness.
I cant cry because of your voice
