I am so sad when I go outside and I see so many lonely men with zero happiness in their eyes and all they are missing is woman. My dream is for everyone to experience real love, because that is the only thing that can make world peaceful place. Men who have nothing to lose and dont have love they become monsters just from frustration what they see outside the world.

@@s0badit’s not really a dumb question, people that play sports rely on their instincts on performing a certain move rather than thinking too much about doing it because you’re not as confident when performing .. westbrook could have said that he does it if it feels right at the moment (instinct) or that he does it planning it out when he has the ball and if he likes what he sees on the court based on his experience and knowledge (intuition)
You can tell my man needed to hear that, just being appreciated for you work. You can see it in his face, he was shook by all the compliments. Respect to that reporter she’s doing the lords work.

Why do people have such an idiotic concept of the media's purpose? If a dude is playing like shit he needs to face the noise. That's what the paycheck is for. A reporter should NOT be a sycophantic fan like this lady. How was her question, even a question?

@@robmckrobmck5567 In these media settings it’s probably not super common to hear that kind of thing, I’m sure outside of these official interviews it is. Either way not sure why you’re choosing to take a negative view on what is a simply lovely interaction.
@@HannahKayW He's been constantly criticised for his basketball shortcomings. It has led him to have a adversarial relationship with the press. I wondered if he initially was waiting for the other show to drop. Often a writer will say something like "congrats on 24000 pts.do you think the 3 game losing streak can be attributed to you chasing the scoring milestone?" So Russ might be a bit cynicky, that's all. Who could blame him and yes her wide eyed admiration was lovely
@thebigdipperr3227 u might not care but the context is this is russel westbrook. He used to have 2 other friends on his team named Kevin Durant and James Harden. All 3 were MVPs at some point in their career(Most Valuable Player in the league). They both left/were traded away. Then he won an mvp but he never got the kind of love that most MVPs get. He also averaged a triple double(this means getting 10 in 3 stats in a night, 10 pts/10 rebounds/10 assists, most players only did this on their best nights, he did this every day for two 82-game-long seasons straight. Before him this was unheard of, he did it so much that people started to stop caring about triple doubles). People saw him in a negative light his whole career. Whether it was about his efficiency as a player or calling him a Stat padder. But he never cheated you with his effort and he also stayed loyal to the team that gave him a chance. He was then traded by the team he loved. Traded shortly after that to the wizards. And then he went to the Lakers which was seen as his redemption arc. He unfortunately struggled during his time on the Lakers, he was disrespected by the media, fans, everybody. To be clear he 100% looked like a clown sometimes. But it wasn't all his fault, the team was set up to fail from the start with how it was composed. After this video he was traded to the Utah who immediately released him to open more space for other players. He then signed to the clippers where he is showing life and actually looked pretty good in their system. It's pretty messed up how everyone's been against russ, I don't know why people don't like him to be honest. Character has never been a question.
Finally got somebody to speak to him with respect and made it clear. He’s talented and it showed this is a awesome video. These guys worked their asses off to be good enough to play in the NBA. Good job
I can watch this short video over n over just to see the way a man gets uplifted n filled with joy just from a person acknowledging his talents n effort
it was an intern reporter Julia Mcintyre. It could of been her young age caught westbrook off guard, how well spoken she is at her age. Also doesn't hurt she was complimentary of westbrook.
@@balln415don’t be a fool. It was obviously because she was very complimentary of his game because the media has criticized him for ages. Has nothing to do with her age or how she spoke. He was suprised that somebody chose to see the positive in his play
@@wariocheats9701 I've been watching basketball for a very long time, I'm quite aware of the criticism Westbrook receives. My salient point is his reaction could be a combination of how well spoken she is for her age, which she definitetly is and the fact she was complimentary while recounting in game specific details.
Im positive almost every man can relate to this. When someone is finally genuinely nice to you and recognizes you after years and years it hits SO HARD
That's the thing. We only hear this when we've had the crap beaten out of us, but when we hear it from a woman who has no ulterior motives. They just want to remind you of how awesome you are. That's what a woman is. A powerful light to ward out the darkness of our repressed emotions and in this short clip, she melted away any of those feelings of resentment towards the press and realigned his focus. Only real women can do this so effectively. And yes. I mean you had to be born a woman, to possess this ability. It's a powerful gift, it's Inspired many men to do many stupid things, and great things, but we love these

@@suicidalcoffee4399 My comment doesn't change the fact that she was being kind. i simply stated that she knew she was being kind and it actually makes it so much better. Her kindness was a deliberate, conscious decision, not an accident.
i am not rly into basketball but you re right. somehow its common in all sports. amazingly great players didnt get recognized or awarded just because they are in a "wrong team " . just look at ibrahimovic, or theirry Henry. i love players with his playstyle . kind of like derrick rose, or years before it was for me vince carter.
His triple double seasons he was getting so much negative hate. I remember the announcer even said a racist remark about him live during the game after a dunk. It makes you feel bad that he was giving his all. And because his team didn’t always win they tried to talk down about him as a individual player.
I don't watch basketball, but he was suffering and that young reporter was phenomenal building him up instead of breaking him down. Thank you for sharing your love of basketball and your intense kindness.
For real! That's why I always make sure to show my appreciation for my boyfriend. He's the absolute best, and I am so thankful that I met him. He does so much and does so of his own volition and with such a giving heart. He's exactly what I've wished for for years. I'm so thankful for him that it's literally second nature to praise him and appreciate him! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Just to put it in perspective about the power of words, go back to the word "Spelling", we cast spells with our words, Just as she casted a spell of joy and appreciation with hers 😊
Seeing a man's reaction from being appreciated or complimented is so beautiful to watch. It's so rare for a lot of men so they get caught off guard but you can see them light up. It's so cute. I know he probably thought about what she said for the rest of the day. ❤
of course it will be remembered, it's the only compliment he ever had, unlike girls complimenting each other 24/7 on every little occasion. @@timpearce2010
Hearing the lives of famous people sometimes makes me not want me to be famous because you will always get hate from someone even if you did nothing wrong. When you hear someone talking about how well you did, that's cheers you up and is glad that there are still humans who don't care about the game, but how well you did even if you lost the game.
That face is absolutely priceless, I mean sometimes when you just catch true moments of people...he generally just was not ready for that, and it just overwhelmed him, absolutely beautiful
That isn't the media's job. Their job is to literally be critical, and question everything. They aren't friends, it's a business. Just look at the sycophants who perpetrate the constant lies and ass kissing around James. Athletes today are coddled enough as it is.
You almost feel sorry for a man that is an utter superstar. He got so use to the negative comments from the press, that when someone that not only complimented him, but praised him, he’s in utter disbelief. 😢
The Millions of dollars should be enough "Love". The guy is an underachieving crybaby bum. Players and teams get better when they dump Westbrick and his ego.
I think his heart melted when that girl was explaining his playstyle. Those emotions are wiring, it speaks volumes. He's known pain and not the body crutches of being sick but real pain.
Wow she really got him speechless that's how you ask questions to athletes. She had him really intrigued and you can tell he appreciated her attention to detail.
Men very rarely get compliments. You can see it in his expression and face that he wasn’t expecting that question and comment. Good on that young lady for recognizing his accomplishment and congratulating him….you could see he appreciated it
As a woman, I find it hard to tell men how talented, skilled or beautiful I think they are without having to make it awkward by saying "not hitting on you". Many times men have taken my compliments as a come on so I usually just reserve them for strangers I know I'll never see again.
Wow, this made me emotional. Thunder fans will always remember that Russ gave everything he had to us and we heaped the blame on him for every shortcoming of our team. He’s a legend in OKC.
You can tell by the look on his face that he is mesmerized listening to someone congratulate him and run back his game. He's truly a remarkable player.
She's passionate. Watched every move. She congrats him. Comment respectful words to honor his hard work and details moves. We need more reporters like her. ❤❤❤❤
She spoke with respect, asked questions that showed she paid attention to his talent, and made him feel accomplished. Its something you can tell he never gets from interviews.

in that one moment, she reminded him that he's got fans that truly have his back and will always love and appreciate the effort hes put in and continutes to put in as a player. God bless them both ❤️
Definitely
GOD BLESS YOU❤❤❤❤❤❤!!!!!!!!!!
U the fan
Aww, she was so sweet to him. I was smiling ear to ear to see his humble reactions to her glowing praise! She was PAYING ATTENTION! 🥰
Reporters have the opportunity to talk to the idols of millions of people and don't realize they can make someone's day
Why do people have such an idiotic concept of the media's purpose? If a dude is playing like shit he needs to face the noise. That's what the paycheck is for.
A reporter should NOT be a sycophantic fan like this lady. How was her question, even a question?
@@Zach-bt2kyur comprehension skills are ass bruh.. “do you anticipate doing those things or do they just come natural to you” like how u miss that
@@Zach-bt2ky first off all you're way out of line, if he had a good game it's fine to say it, only hating on players might be your style but that's not okay. A player can be complemented on his game before being asked the real questions
@@Zach-bt2kyhow was her question even a question? Well you see when she asks is it second nature or does he plan what he’s gonna do before doing it, that’s the question. She used evidence beforehand to lead into her question. He played well, she praised but also questioned him, the same way they bring up when people lose the ball or miss shots and then ask what led them to do these things.
@@Zach-bt2ky Russel Westbrooks family and kids are getting bullied in school because of Russel Westbrooks name. Russel Westbrook is over-hated. His family getting hate and the players getting hate can still cause emotional damage and depression. What your basically saying is “Russel Westbrook gets payed more then me so if he’s not perfect in every aspect he deserves to get all that hate”
That head turn was priceless you can tell he really appreciated her saying nice things rather than negativity the world needs more of that.
He physically grows under the lovely compliment
Great to see
I noticed that too! He is all slumped expecting just crappy comments and as each compliment comes he grows so much happier it’s just so sweet to see, I don’t even watch basketball but I watched this 5x 😂
@@HannahKayWDo you think for a moment he still expected negatively? He acted like he never in his life heard words of encouragement
@@robmckrobmck5567 In these media settings it’s probably not super common to hear that kind of thing, I’m sure outside of these official interviews it is. Either way not sure why you’re choosing to take a negative view on what is a simply lovely interaction.
@@HannahKayW He's been constantly criticised for his basketball shortcomings. It has led him to have a adversarial relationship with the press. I wondered if he initially was waiting for the other show to drop. Often a writer will say something like "congrats on 24000 pts.do you think the 3 game losing streak can be attributed to you chasing the scoring milestone?" So Russ might be a bit cynicky, that's all. Who could blame him and yes her wide eyed admiration was lovely
You're right. He is basically sitting up straight at the end of her questions.
His smile melted me!!! He was seen !!! She was professional and kind to him. Our beautiful Giants need kindness tooo❤❤❤
That is wholesome af. Imagine if we treated each other like that.
Imagine if Russ wasn’t a dick to everyone that wasn’t kissing his egotistical ass 😊
This is the lesson that will fix humanity
@@Uzi26people are too self absorbed to fix themselves tho..
Not possible. People love feeling like untouchable savages. Sadists. It's just a part of life ig.
He works hard. Takes the hate. And finally gets a little love. ❤
If he wasn't bricking everything then maybe he'd have more love
@@marioramirez6741he's really good and underrated still best hustle in the nba imo
He doesn’t take the hate he boo hoos about everything
@@chickenburger1207is he a good player?
@@marioramirez6741Doesn’t mean hate him. You basketball fans are brainless
I dont even watch basketball but my heart was full. He needed this.
Hi miss
@thebigdipperr3227 u might not care but the context is this is russel westbrook. He used to have 2 other friends on his team named Kevin Durant and James Harden. All 3 were MVPs at some point in their career(Most Valuable Player in the league). They both left/were traded away.
Then he won an mvp but he never got the kind of love that most MVPs get. He also averaged a triple double(this means getting 10 in 3 stats in a night, 10 pts/10 rebounds/10 assists, most players only did this on their best nights, he did this every day for two 82-game-long seasons straight. Before him this was unheard of, he did it so much that people started to stop caring about triple doubles).
People saw him in a negative light his whole career. Whether it was about his efficiency as a player or calling him a Stat padder. But he never cheated you with his effort and he also stayed loyal to the team that gave him a chance.
He was then traded by the team he loved. Traded shortly after that to the wizards. And then he went to the Lakers which was seen as his redemption arc. He unfortunately struggled during his time on the Lakers, he was disrespected by the media, fans, everybody. To be clear he 100% looked like a clown sometimes. But it wasn't all his fault, the team was set up to fail from the start with how it was composed. After this video he was traded to the Utah who immediately released him to open more space for other players. He then signed to the clippers where he is showing life and actually looked pretty good in their system. It's pretty messed up how everyone's been against russ, I don't know why people don't like him to be honest. Character has never been a question.
Finally got somebody to speak to him with respect and made it clear. He’s talented and it showed this is a awesome video. These guys worked their asses off to be good enough to play in the NBA. Good job
I can watch this short video over n over just to see the way a man gets uplifted n filled with joy just from a person acknowledging his talents n effort
Me too.. watched several times and his expression made me tear up 😊
Same...something ethereal about this clip
Right!!
I know it's so wholesome
It only happens so often and damn is it unforgettable
She gave the guy so much props that he looked surprised because the others just say nonsense
it was an intern reporter Julia Mcintyre. It could of been her young age caught westbrook off guard, how well spoken she is at her age. Also doesn't hurt she was complimentary of westbrook.
💯
@@balln415don’t be a fool. It was obviously because she was very complimentary of his game because the media has criticized him for ages. Has nothing to do with her age or how she spoke. He was suprised that somebody chose to see the positive in his play
@@balln415wasn’t her age bro tf, y’all _ tripping
@@wariocheats9701 I've been watching basketball for a very long time, I'm quite aware of the criticism Westbrook receives. My salient point is his reaction could be a combination of how well spoken she is for her age, which she definitetly is and the fact she was complimentary while recounting in game specific details.
To watch his appreciation and surprise brought tears to my eyes.
Great job lady!!! ❤
It really did she’s a real one for that
💯
He was legitimately flattered
I feel it
Same
Every superstar and hero needs at least a touch of love too.
😊❤
Im positive almost every man can relate to this. When someone is finally genuinely nice to you and recognizes you after years and years it hits SO HARD
That's the thing. We only hear this when we've had the crap beaten out of us, but when we hear it from a woman who has no ulterior motives. They just want to remind you of how awesome you are. That's what a woman is. A powerful light to ward out the darkness of our repressed emotions and in this short clip, she melted away any of those feelings of resentment towards the press and realigned his focus. Only real women can do this so effectively. And yes. I mean you had to be born a woman, to possess this ability. It's a powerful gift, it's Inspired many men to do many stupid things, and great things, but we love these
My fiancé was the hardest man to have understand how much I am truly grateful for him and if he asked me to jump I would ask how high. It was tough loving a tough man I’ve had tough love my whole life I was not going to have it anymore ❤
$40M a year wasnt enough last 10 years huh?
@WaveRider1989 money has nothing to do with the human interaction that we all desire and require. He also earned that money all by himself with all his effort. That is what the money paid for, not how he feels.
@user-gi4wb4bj4j his jealousy has blinded him maybe one day he will find inner peace
That was the look of a man who truly just got the validation his heart always wanted that young lady doesn't know it but that changed his life
She knows. People who do this, do it because they know the value of being kind.
@ibukontraktor2783 come on now don't ruin it for me we all know them people exist but not thinking they exist makes it that much better when they show up kinda like your comment about her I bet if she seen that it would make her smile knowing you seen her kindness
@@suicidalcoffee4399 My comment doesn't change the fact that she was being kind. i simply stated that she knew she was being kind and it actually makes it so much better. Her kindness was a deliberate, conscious decision, not an accident.
@@ibukontraktor-taqwapropertyI agree, that she decided to be kind and respectful and appreciative gives her act of kindness even more value.
She described his game like she had taken notes and had a paper on the subject due that night by 11:59:59 P.M.
E
I mean that sounds dumb seeing as how they JUST got done playing
💯
He was as impressed with her as she was with him. Mutual respect goes a long way.
Low-key heartbreaking to see him that happy over a compliment, the man deserves his flowers fr mvp
yeah. he's on the official nba 75th anniversary team. he's going to be remembered the same way those other guys are
i am not rly into basketball but you re right. somehow its common in all sports. amazingly great players didnt get recognized or awarded just because they are in a "wrong team " . just look at ibrahimovic, or theirry Henry. i love players with his playstyle . kind of like derrick rose, or years before it was for me vince carter.
I never see him being this happy. This actually makes me happy give the man love he deserves
I dont even watch basketball i live in germany and even I know that he deserves more love
His triple double seasons he was getting so much negative hate. I remember the announcer even said a racist remark about him live during the game after a dunk.
It makes you feel bad that he was giving his all. And because his team didn’t always win they tried to talk down about him as a individual player.
@@mangobeepoppin2712Sure the announcer did… 🤡
I know his good friend and business partner in okc and Russ is a really great dude
@@hejafilms4042yeah same. I live over here too
The pure joy in his eyes, everyone deserves that feeling once in a while.
Yes, I agree 💯 percent. Everyone needs this absolutely everyone. Older I get more and more these hit home.
I'd even say more than just once in while.
She spoke like true journalist with the spirit of a fan.
That's not a true journalist, that's a real fan.
It is so rare for a man to hear a genuine compliment - and when he does - it really touches him deep in his soul.
I don't watch basketball, but he was suffering and that young reporter was phenomenal building him up instead of breaking him down. Thank you for sharing your love of basketball and your intense kindness.
Report: did y’all blow the game or did they win?😂
I gotcha back hell yea they blew that game
So hard being a millionaire superstar. You really miss the positive compliments and ego boost.
@@thedarkemissarymoney doesn't bring happiness lmao millionaires kill themselves everyday. It's not hard to just not be a dick
I've never seen him smile so beautifully like that.. Truly, sometimes men needs is a little appreciation.. 💜
Tell your ladies that. We rarely if ever get it.
The only other time I've seen it is when he's talking about the sweater his son made him
For real! That's why I always make sure to show my appreciation for my boyfriend. He's the absolute best, and I am so thankful that I met him.
He does so much and does so of his own volition and with such a giving heart. He's exactly what I've wished for for years. I'm so thankful for him that it's literally second nature to praise him and appreciate him! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
True
She really gave him a lift. And that smile at the end, just beautiful!
She knows he’s a one of a kind athlete and interviews him as such. Too many people in sports media have forgotten that first part
That’s so wholesome. My man just wanted her around more often. Amazing the warmth a simple compliment can bring.
Just to put it in perspective about the power of words, go back to the word "Spelling", we cast spells with our words,
Just as she casted a spell of joy and appreciation with hers 😊
west brick
@@joevsfoodnaw this was. dudes always getting shit on and seeing his face change the way it did was pure joy
He was burning every part of that moment into his mind. That was sweet
Damn, his smile is so wholesome.
Finally, a reporter with some knowledge, flattering and very respectful
he was shook in the most positive way, it's heartwarming.
Seeing a man's reaction from being appreciated or complimented is so beautiful to watch. It's so rare for a lot of men so they get caught off guard but you can see them light up. It's so cute. I know he probably thought about what she said for the rest of the day. ❤
I bet he still thinks about it and will for years to come.
of course it will be remembered, it's the only compliment he ever had, unlike girls complimenting each other 24/7 on every little occasion.
@@timpearce2010
The rest of his life.
❤
@@timpearce2010as men we remember things like this til we die & hold it dear in our hearts
So heart-warming. We often forget that these athletes are still human, and the hate they get must get to them in one way or another.
Hearing the lives of famous people sometimes makes me not want me to be famous because you will always get hate from someone even if you did nothing wrong. When you hear someone talking about how well you did, that's cheers you up and is glad that there are still humans who don't care about the game, but how well you did even if you lost the game.
This is how every man wants to be treated, with respect and true appreciation.
That face is absolutely priceless, I mean sometimes when you just catch true moments of people...he generally just was not ready for that, and it just overwhelmed him, absolutely beautiful
You can see on his face he keeps waiting for the HOOK and she never hooks him. Just pure appreciation
It’s beautiful to see a human congratulate another human. What a movement. I enjoyed this!
So sweet, i m gonna throw up
My man never gets the respect he deserves. My fav PG of all time
Kindness can be so powerful. It should be more celebrated
Imagine if the media could retain a hint of the wonder, awe, and appreciation this lady has in the game. What a world that would be!
That isn't the media's job. Their job is to literally be critical, and question everything. They aren't friends, it's a business.
Just look at the sycophants who perpetrate the constant lies and ass kissing around James.
Athletes today are coddled enough as it is.
@@bswizzle5227 you must be a joy to be around.
@@bswizzle5227and you are part of the worlds problems👏👏👏
@@erencanaslan7989 shocking, a James Stanzboy resorting to ad hominem attacks.
Doesn't take away from my point though, does it genius?
@@bswizzle5227 dude, a word of appreciation for once in a while is nice
You almost feel sorry for a man that is an utter superstar. He got so use to the negative comments from the press, that when someone that not only complimented him, but praised him, he’s in utter disbelief. 😢
So use to hate that appreciatuon is an odd feeling - T.I.
The Millions of dollars should be enough "Love". The guy is an underachieving crybaby bum. Players and teams get better when they dump Westbrick and his ego.
Every man deserves to feel the way that he smiled.
I think his heart melted when that girl was explaining his playstyle. Those emotions are wiring, it speaks volumes. He's known pain and not the body crutches of being sick but real pain.
Wow she really got him speechless that's how you ask questions to athletes. She had him really intrigued and you can tell he appreciated her attention to detail.
man westbrook gets so much hate for nothing
edit: I just checked my yt notification and found I have 21k !!!!!!!!!!!
When he retires I am sure people will remember how great he was in his prime
Everyone is hated for a reason 🤷🏽♂️
@@Scarhjwhy is he hated do u know that?
It's because he defends himself against disrespectful and belligerent fans and those type of fans pile on him.
nah but he’s way better than any of the haters at basketball
His body language is so telling. From hunched, closed shoulder to more open, upright, receptive. He was def uplifted by this reporter. Great Job!
I love how he had eye contact and listened intensively, reassured her by nodding and gave her compliments afterwards. Real sportsman.
Men very rarely get compliments. You can see it in his expression and face that he wasn’t expecting that question and comment. Good on that young lady for recognizing his accomplishment and congratulating him….you could see he appreciated it
As a woman, I find it hard to tell men how talented, skilled or beautiful I think they are without having to make it awkward by saying "not hitting on you". Many times men have taken my compliments as a come on so I usually just reserve them for strangers I know I'll never see again.
@@Analisaa.marieesounds accurate
I think this dude is ised to receive compliments though
I love when folks lift each other up just because they can. ❤
He is the Best baseball player❤❤
its sad. we need ppl like her. just in everyday life
The way he got so happy about her simple compliments melted me. It’s really sad you can tell he isn’t complemented as much as he should be.
Wow, this made me emotional. Thunder fans will always remember that Russ gave everything he had to us and we heaped the blame on him for every shortcoming of our team. He’s a legend in OKC.
I agree with that statement. I was not impressed with how we treated him at all.
No we do not miss that wanna be
Okc’s greatest to ever touch the court
@@verbalassault87 Yeah, we do. You can troll all you want. OKC fans know.
@@ErroneousMonk1 okc fans remember when it was an entire team not just 1 ass clown cry baby on the court
She sounds like the kindest soul 🥹
He wants to be appreciated n liked.
He will always remember that
You can tell by the look on his face that he is mesmerized listening to someone congratulate him and run back his game. He's truly a remarkable player.
She's passionate. Watched every move. She congrats him. Comment respectful words to honor his hard work and details moves. We need more reporters like her. ❤❤❤❤
You literally see that spark of love ignite in his eyes again you know hes unbelievably happy whenever he thinks of this moment ❤
As a man, appreciation is the best reward…
