Man I wish this was the Westbrook we got on my lakers. I wanted this guy his whole career unfortunately it was too late and it hurts that people are trashing his career now. Whatever though he’s an MVP, been to the finals that alot of players never have been to, and averaged a triple double for a season 4 times. I feel bad he came home and his hometown is shitting on him. Aside from Kobe he was my favorite player when Kobe was playing and when Kobe retired I enjoyed watching are youth but I would tune into watch Russ any time I got as well.
Fully agreed. Three of the most offensively gifted players in league history onthe fast-break. It's a shame we didn't get to see more of it. Also, the speed with which Westbrook got into the paint. Scary...
Westbrook was a great FT shooter and Midrange shooter back then, idk what happened to him. when he became more concern about his stats he started to lose his shooting touch
@@lakernation26 I’m really late asf, but I watched this game live and KD & Harden were playing like they gave up. They didn’t try to get open at all and gave up on plays while Russ played his heart out and showed that dog in him
i know he had that stupid foul at the end of the game that sealed it, but that aside... Russell was unstoppable that night, best offensive performance of his career
Jakob Lozano I agree. So many non calls. Wade got a phantom one is the third. Also, that Westbrook foul at the end was dumb, should've never sent Chalmers to the line
fuck you!!!1! beastbrook averaged 30 10 10 UNFORCED!!! Adams is garbage cant even average 10 rebounds wtf? 7 foot 260 pound dude being a trash rebounder. PG13 was always trash and melo is the only reason they ever lost. BIlly donovan is stupid too. get my MVP some real teammates and he will win 83 games! Russell Beastgoat would win 18 rings if he had good teammates! KD is overrated becouse he was trash in every finals . unlike westbrook who never missed a shot in his life!!1
bobong peenoise facts him & rose had similar games but now Westbrook mid range game is no where to be found. I think it’s because he shoots too many 3s now getting away from his bread & butter
Westbrook has the same form but he shoots with more power now in 2022. Watching this game, you can see how he times the release so slow it’s a high arc shot. My boi lost that release, he just need to watch his old games and he’ll be back!
Kd could bring his whole team to the number 2 seed in the west. Almost 1seed But if Westbrook the probably 6-8 seed but he was injured a little bit this year.
Danny Lin Chill. Durant had a full team with only Westbrook out. Westbrook had KD and many of others out throughout this whole year. There is no comparison
This is an idea that has been spreading around a lot lately and here's what I ( and pretty much every NBA fan ) has to say about it : Adding the 4-point line is a better idea. Now here's my proof to back me up, it would just fatigue the players to add a longer schedule. I am a Okc fan but c'mon this is just a bad idea waiting to happen.
***** Lol, it seems like that wat in the stat sheet, but maybe shame on him for trying to do everything by himself and not letting his teamtes get the confidence in able to win, like KD did in 2014.
At the time wasn't this the most points scored in NBA Finals game in a losing effort? But man this is the kind of Westbrook I would love to see, so explosive.
Westbrook started missing in the clutch and KD was getting hot, which led me to feel like he should’ve deferred in the last minutes. Classic performance though!
Magic Johnson and Stephen A Smith actually said Westbrook played selfish this game I got a player grade of A plus turnovers we're low high shooting percentage rebounded well and controlled the tempo he could have made some more passes but he was absolutely feeling it from the mid range
Man this is so weird. Watching Westbrook this season he doesn't have the confidence and he does not seem to be able to keep the ball his control on the layups is just not the same now. On those wild shots he had so much control
It sucks man no matter what Russ will always be one of my 10 favorite players ever.. but this is the Westbrook I wanted on the lakers his whole career. I remember after this finals I was wanting the lakers to make a push for him immediately. But he came too late in his career and being on lebrons team he is taking all the blame. I think Russ is absolutely checked out and just ready to get the hell off the lakers.. the fact that he only scored 5 points all game the other night tells me he’s checked out that is not the Russ we know idc how bad he plays he would definitely get above 5 points. Sad to see.
JayOw Uchiha He never wanted to leave... OKC didn't enough money to keep both him and Ibaka so they traded Harden for another player. James Harden even said it was surprising of him and the whole team
Idc what anybody says man this game was on Durant and harden the thunder had no bizness losing this series except for game 5 okc was CLEARLY THE BETTER TEAM JUST MENTAL MISTAKES THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE DAMN SERIES THIS SHOULDA BEEN KDS 1ST RING
If Michael Jordan was a point guard I swear Russell Westbrook is what you get- An all around scorer mostly slashing and a pull up middy just athletically superior to everyone else on the court.
With 1 min left in the game instead of going for out side shooting by given the ball to kd Westbrook kept going for two points. And shooting before the offense could even get set

I remember this game!! It seemed like Russell never missed a mid range jumper!
Angelo S. unlike today
He needs to go back to it
westbrook would never win a title eith this type of play. no bball iq
Hall of famer when he's done.
Damn shame they lost this game, Westbrook did everything in his power
Lol his Decision making cost them the game
Westbrook pull his heart and soul into this game
SpaceGhost Indica y’all really are idiots in the comments huh ? 💀 without dude this game wouldn’t have been close
@@GJTrae Exactly! that bitch is stupid
SpaceGhost Indica what? L
I remember this game all to well. I'm a Miami Heat fan. After seeing this game, westbrook became my favorite player behind Dywane Wade.

Me too bruh Westbrook could have been like DWade if he had the mid range down pact.
Hes gotten so much better
....Better?! ...Óòôõöōøf₣
the 3 man break at 1:25 was so perfect but at the same time so intense and athletic idk i love watching that play over and over
Fully agreed. Three of the most offensively gifted players in league history onthe fast-break. It's a shame we didn't get to see more of it.
Also, the speed with which Westbrook got into the paint. Scary...
One of the most impressive performances I’d ever seen
I remember watching this game, Westbrook would not miss a single midrange jumper 😂😂
Baby Thunder vs Prime Heatles, wish it lasted longer.
If he was just this consistent he would be unstoppable
Quiet as it's kept Westbrook outplayed Wade this series.
But wade showed up when it mattered the most
Proud to say I saw this live one of my all time favorite performance
Imagine if they stayed together time to further my depression
Westbrook was a great FT shooter and Midrange shooter back then, idk what happened to him. when he became more concern about his stats he started to lose his shooting touch
It’s called injuries plus the league forced him to change his ft routine, not “when he became more concerned with stats” u casual
Westbrook is scary to guard. So quick and aggressive
This is when Russ officially became my favorite player, eclipsing KD.
Cult Of Combat I’m late asf but why?

For me it was the steal on Mike Conley I think gm6

@@zubsiro so u ignored all the dumb shit he did that whole series cause he had a good game. Nigga cost them the game at the head too
Bruh I forgot how fast this dude was 😭
Westbrook was destroying Lebron like dam.
Russ should just watch this game
i know he had that stupid foul at the end of the game that sealed it, but that aside... Russell was unstoppable that night, best offensive performance of his career
OKCTHUND3R7700 x he's grown so much since then
should have won that game
Jakob Lozano I agree. So many non calls. Wade got a phantom one is the third. Also, that Westbrook foul at the end was dumb, should've never sent Chalmers to the line
Even as a Heat fan, I've got to admit, he got very few calls
I'm glad KD left so we can see what this man can do on his own. And we're witnessing history
real shit fuck KD
Dos Necklace 😂😂😂😂 you witnessed a historic first round exit
Dos Necklace first round exit again lol
Back to back first round exits after their best player KD left. Greatness!!!! History!!!!

where is this westbrook now? his mid range game was godlike those years
bobong peenoise facts him & rose had similar games but now Westbrook mid range game is no where to be found. I think it’s because he shoots too many 3s now getting away from his bread & butter
last person to put up 40 in the finals, but that will not stand for long because some1 will put up over 40 in these finals
Cheema0113 hence.. lebron james
Or better yet average 40
Prophet
Kyrie 41 w/ Lebron
+dfjr1990 Lebron 2 times in 2016 finals so far!

Yeah the muscle mass messed up his shot mechanic
Man I remember this game bro.
I remember watching this. Even though they lost its still westbrooks best game of his career (for now)
Does Westbrook really have springs in his shoes?
brother got hops
russell must see this game
What happened to this westbrook man😢
Best player in OKC by far and don´t bring me Kevin Durant!
Kd could bring his whole team to the number 2 seed in the west. Almost 1seed
But if Westbrook the probably 6-8 seed but he was injured a little bit this year.
Danny Lin Ibaka wasn´t injured that year and in the playoffs Westbrook was carrying his team against the Spurs because Durant wasn´t doing nothing
Danny Lin Chill. Durant had a full team with only Westbrook out. Westbrook had KD and many of others out throughout this whole year. There is no comparison
Best NBA Videos bruh VintageDawkins can u block these bumasses???????????????????????????????
God WestBrick
Just Stop It!
Dear NBA can we please next year have the best 16 teams not having Westbrook in the playoffs is a sin.
antonio Gomez only player with ferocity that matches onyx kobe
antonio Gomez Nope, if Westbrick was good, he would have led his team to the playoffs which he didn't.

What teammates? Steven Adams? Waiters? Above .500 with a fragmented team ain't bad at all
I miss this finals song
At the time wasn't this the most points scored in NBA Finals game in a losing effort? But man this is the kind of Westbrook I would love to see, so explosive.
Westbrook started missing in the clutch and KD was getting hot, which led me to feel like he should’ve deferred in the last minutes. Classic performance though!
As an OKC I remember screaming at the last play, it was painful, but Russ did have a great game
To this day I have never seen a more dominant game from russ.
Dude was on a mission.
I think if he ever gets to the finals again he will win.
Magic Johnson and Stephen A Smith actually said Westbrook played selfish this game I got a player grade of A plus turnovers we're low high shooting percentage rebounded well and controlled the tempo he could have made some more passes but he was absolutely feeling it from the mid range
Larrita Williams they said that about game 2 him being selfish

"Totals are useless , what matters are defense and inflation-adjusted efficiencies"
This was (would’ve been) cavs vs warriors before cavs vs warriors
1:44 just casually blows past dwyane wade💨
That foul at the end was dumb. Imagine if Westbrook didn't sent Chalmers to the line. OKC might have won.
I'd like to thank okc for giving the rockets harden for nothing. Haha
2deeZproductions Not really, he wanted to be the franchise player, the leader, that's why he left
+JayOw Uchiha
He didn't leave, he got traded...
Mamba Wiggins I know what I meant he wanted to leave so they traded him

JayOw Uchiha
I think he got traded for Kevin Martin
Russ needs rewatch this game
I think this was the last year of team ball before shooting 3's every possession took over lol
Westbrook is one of the most under appreciated players ever it’s sad he won’t be here again
Really want to see him join the heat
Damn... I want him in LA so baaaaddd
Happy now?! Ha!
Sadly, This the same thunder roster I wanted to see in the finals again the following year...
Sheesh check out the speed at 1:26
Idc what anybody says man this game was on Durant and harden the thunder had no bizness losing this series except for game 5 okc was CLEARLY THE BETTER TEAM JUST MENTAL MISTAKES THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE DAMN SERIES THIS SHOULDA BEEN KDS 1ST RING
Right even tho WB is the one who choked the game away...
Dude looked like Mj in this game
Goat wish kd left after the finals so Westbrook could of been the franchise player.
Y kd is better than westrbook
If Michael Jordan was a point guard I swear Russell Westbrook is what you get- An all around scorer mostly slashing and a pull up middy just athletically superior to everyone else on the court.
Magic Johnson said that Westbrook had the worst finals game performance by a point guard in NBA history that night. Says a lot about Westbrook.
i still dont get how on paper they had a stacked team and still couldn't win the finals
Because they went against lebron wade and bosh, another stacked team lmao
If the thunder had won this game it would have changed the whole series, the heat would have still won but in 7 instead of 5
Doubt it if the thunder won that game I think they would have won the series because james harden had just started comin out of his slump
Best game of Westbrook’s career and he learned nothing from it.
Was thinking the same tbh ing
best?
With 1 min left in the game instead of going for out side shooting by given the ball to kd Westbrook kept going for two points. And shooting before the offense could even get set
I’ll say one of his best not his best
THIS MF IS A FUCKEN BEASTTT 💪🏾
damn he used to be skinny af!
And then the next game he went like 4/20 SMH
Better than KD. Durant should’ve given up some of his shots they prob would’ve won more than 1 game!
Shows the difference between Kd and Lebron If Lebron ever had this type of Dog in Cleveland I promise you he wouldn’t have ever needed to leave
Until he shoots 4-20 fg literally in game 5
Foul chalmers ruined everything
He was skinny then man
that's why his shooting percentage was higher then. He should lose some weight for next season.
enjoynet true he was a midrange monster not sure why he loves the three
Magic Johnson said this was the worst finals performance in by a point guard in NBA history
Gm 2
Jorden Gonzalez Fuck that aids cunt don’t know why he criticising players like that
