@@waduheck7860 Ppl don't realize that he had to avg a Triple-Double to sneak the Wizards into the playoffs that one season. Dude does alot for his team, hard to say he's stat padding when he's giving you 11 or 12 assists throwing the ball to non-scorers. You gotta have a mind for the game to put those guys in positions to optimize their limited abilities.
@@09lowkeyNot gonna lie, used to think Westbrook stat padded but looking back now I see he was carrying that OKC team when KD left. Now I understand why MJ saw himself in Westbrook, dude is ferocious and wants to win. The real stat padder was LeBron.
Nah real Lakers fans wanted Russel to stay, we always respected Russel, he's from LA and always plays hard. We want Lebron to leave. Lebron fans said "Russel is wAsHeD"
@@makaveli1216 LeCoach really do be doing the most to bring his team down as much he do be carrying em...Would be nice to see what a young squad around AD coulda done.
I think like a lot of us I’m rooting for this brother because he who got blame, said he was washed said that he was a cancer to the locker room and all that stuff but this brother is exceeding and I hope that they can pull something out this off-season
i always kinda liked westbrook for his energy in his game. Im glad to see he has such a good time in denver, with the fans and the team. I think there was a lot of garbage written about him in the last year. But he can still ball, and he also has humour. Wonderful PK.(and the interview on court too)
@@TheyCallMeMidnightYup. Vogel actually turned them into a defensive juggernaut during the bubble. Only time I seen LBJ take defense seriously outside of his time with the Heat. Now he just padding stats on offense but getting blown by nightly by younger players on defense. Even a old Tim Duncan was still holding down the paint way past his prime.
Westbrook was just a scapegoat as most players are when they play with LeBum because they need to adapt to his gameplay cause he makes noone better. He just needs people to shoot cause thats the only way he can pad his assists
@@RisitasKEKW yes, because he was forced to be a shooter because thats how LeBron can feed his assists. Kevin Love was also forced to be a shooter even though he was the best post player season prior to playing with LeBron
Say about the Lakers ,I don’t even know why they even traded for Russ to begin with. Russ game back then more so he was more ball dominate and LeBron is pretty much too. It just didn’t make sense. Ppl was acting so surprised that it didn’t work and that they was blaming Russ for it but I wasn’t surprised. Noooo not at all. And Russ is a great player , it’s just that shooting all though he has gotten better isn’t his strongest area and it’s not crime in that . The lakers I believe should have kept Julius , Lonzo , the Pope who won with Denver, and Kyle they let go to wizards. But that’s another story for another day. Anyways , LeBron throughout his career he needs shooters to win and there’s not crime in that nether. And no shade to LeBron , but this style of play he needs shooters and somebody a scorer. He had that when he was on the cavs returned , the heats , but not he just on have a scorer or rather all around talent in AD. he don’t necessarily have a whole firing square that he’s found more success with and that’s been lakers problem . Not frank not ham and dam sure not Russ . I’m just saying
Love how we live in a time people just can’t be happy for another’s success. People needing to much validation from external sources, pathetic. It’s good to see Russ happy WIN or LOSE.
LeBum blamed Westbrook and said he was the problem. Jokic said I will take Westbrook and look what he has done. Thats why Jokic is the best player since Jordan and LeBum is the most overrated player in history
When you constantly reshape your roster, along with a new coach seemingly every year, maybe you need to look in the mirror and accept you're the problem. That's one thing about LeBron is he's very much a prima donna in that respect.
Na Bron should’ve been playing da back seat to a dude who’s averaged 10+ APG 4 TIMES and let him run the offense a lot of things would’ve came easier for Bron , AD was playing amazing whenever he WAS on the floor with Westbrook , it’s just hard for Bron to let go of the balll for some reason
I want so bad for the Nuggets to win a title with Russ but I just don’t know if this roster is good enough. Russ is getting better, but Jamal and the bench are serious question marks
Hey look. Coach said "want you to be Russell Westbrook" and he's playing well. When you dont try and make him something he isn't the results are good. Imagine that.
Nicola for president 😅..if it's true that Nicola influenced Russ to come to Denver, that's the best move that could have happened to Denver in the last five years...there are too many good guys in denver what was needed was someone as rude and rude as Russ who respects no one ....
Coach Malone is allowing Westbrook to play his game. Just because Steph Curry is a guard that shoot 3 pointers doesn't mean every point guard has to do the same to be able to score. Russ was demonized with the Lakers and Darvin Ham made a decision to bench him because the team and media made Russ the scapegoat for all the team issues. Everybody wants Russ to play the game the way they think he should play but has to play to his skillset. Russ plays hard and has the skills to do things that other guards hasn't been able to do but the haters wanna judge him because he don't shoot the three like Steph, but they overlook that he can still score the ball and Steph doesn't do the same stuff that Russ does. (Simple -they're different players- everybody different.) Also he's bashed because he hasn't won a championship yet. Plenty of HOF's haven't (Barkley, Malone, Gervin, Maravich, Hill, King, Miller, Stockton, Ewing, Dominic, Iverson, CP3, Rose, Nash, Penny, TMac, Webber , Carmelo, Hill, Carter, Harden, etc...) The way the game has changed I rather have Westbrook running my team over LeBron. The winning formula is totally different from how LeBron is playing nowadays. Even now Centers have to be able to assist, dribble and shoot from the outside. I'm a LeBron fan but at this point in his career he is playing to make his stats look as if he is still a top player but actually he needs to be a role player. He wants people on the team that do all the grinding work on defense and allow him to be the focal point on offense because he knows those are the numbers that matter when it comes to looking like you are still playing at a high level. It's hard playing with LeBron. Things got out of hand as far as blame and criticism when it came to Westbrook (especially in this social media era when everyone gets to be an analyst) but let's not forget about others like Bosh, Love, Wade, Irvin (at least Wade and Kyrie was 2nd options) sacrificed their skills in their prime while playing with LeBron.
Here's the crazy thing about RW, his play is great But not game winning. RW play is amazing however it never wins JUST entertain Without Jokic no wins. It doesn't impact only entertain. I like RW but this is what I noticed. Lakers RW played pretty much the same however no impact. It's like, the team and RW. Same with Thunder....
Guards y the one I got the one just toaee Ball out for a you.miles city. Jokic i tickets vets man joy mentally for the game Post Malone sure it what actually each smiles Russell Westbrook topic as well as they Court be la la la end of this month!😂
1:58 Russell genuinely seemed surprised by the statline, and his reaction to that was wholesome as well
Good reporter
and yet Haters would say he is stat padding where in reality they won 74% of time if he got triple doubles and that is since OKC to Denver lol
@waduheck7860 yea man that stat debunk it fr I thought it was a lil too
you love to see it!! pleasure watching this guy thrive with Denver
Need Westbrook to get a ring
I AGREE! MY FAVORITE PLAYER IN TODAYS ERA DESERVES A SHIP
It’s gonna happen just wait and see
Bro him and joker gonna get 3 rings. Watch and see
jokic deserves all the trust, hes a champ and one of the greatest player ive seen
nikola 79% win rate with triple double
westbrook 74% win rate with triple double
now you can combine them... wtf?!

Looking forward to see you WIN a chip this year
Man Westbrook is such a good guy! Need to see him win a ring!
He was so happy about the win percentage. When ppl called his stats empty in the past. You can tell he takes pride in his work
And then Lakers fans said “RuSeLl iS wAsHeD”

Denver just needs some wing defenders off the bench. Right now they are a top heavy team with no bench. They should have kept KCP or Reggie Jackson.
Keep it going Brodie, wen still here! 🐐
i always kinda liked westbrook for his energy in his game. Im glad to see he has such a good time in denver, with the fans and the team.

You see the energy! Love to see Russ like this, he is a superstar!
Russ is also a great humanitarian, humble and hardworking
From Russell westbrick to russell real good
now we can put to rest that LeBron is the problem at Lakers... not Russ
Definitely, once the playoffs come (if Denver makes it) you will see that Russ thrives.....................
It's always bron not:
Ingram
Kuzma
Clarkson
Dlo
Schroeder
Darvin Ham
JJ Reddick
Frank Vogel made it work and they fired him
@@TheyCallMeMidnightYup. Vogel actually turned them into a defensive juggernaut during the bubble. Only time I seen LBJ take defense seriously outside of his time with the Heat.

Let's go Westbrook can't wait to see you hit a buzzer beater as my son says... My 6 yr old loves to see you play and so do we. This is your year!
The grace of God number 1 … legends speaking facts … West
my favorite player deserve the best. you gonna get that ring russ i believe in you
Form is temporary,Class is permanent
I am happy for Russ man, I am glad he’s playing great
Gotta appreciate a guy that brings it every night
This man deserves to make more than 3 million dollars a year.
He made it before no need to
RW is so good player with crazy and strong energy! Thanks God he playing with Joker. They will be killers! 🇷🇸 ❤ Westbrook brother
Go Westbrook,it's almost like 4,7 years ago
A true baller
From Westbrook to WestBRICK back to Westbrook
I believe it's pronounced: "Beastbrook".
Westbrook was just a scapegoat as most players are when they play with LeBum because they need to adapt to his gameplay cause he makes noone better. He just needs people to shoot cause thats the only way he can pad his assists
@ nah he was terrible in La
@@RisitasKEKW yes, because he was forced to be a shooter because thats how LeBron can feed his assists. Kevin Love was also forced to be a shooter even though he was the best post player season prior to playing with LeBron
@ trust me, NOBOdy was forcing Russ to shoot on the lakers 😂🤣
S/O to Russell Westbrook he has rejuvenated his career and hopefully he can get him championship for all of his dedication and hard work.
Jokic the Goat fr bro requested to get Westbrook when the whole league thought Westbrook wasn’t good. Westbrook playing like an MVP is awesome
The nba should be scared Russ got that crazy look in his eyes like the mvp years but this is different
I am glad for Russ and the sweetest sideeffect is how it exposes LeFlop
150-52 with a triple is still crazy numbers
happy to see WB got his swag back,
This man name is westbrook❤❤
We love Brodie in the mile high city 💪

He never left
He should be the first active player to be retired! Love this dude’s GAME

When its all said and done, Joker will be greater than both His Airness and LeChoke combined
@@joshuahewitt4020🤣probably not but man if he keeps winning MVPs WHILE winning rings, anything can happen
Maybe westbrook should of been the 2nd best player with lakers instead of davis atleast he will be consistent
Na Bron should’ve been playing da back seat to a dude who’s averaged 10+ APG 4 TIMES and let him run the offense a lot of things would’ve came easier for Bron , AD was playing amazing whenever he WAS on the floor with Westbrook , it’s just hard for Bron to let go of the balll for some reason
Jokic won 79% of his game when he gets triple double while westbrook wins 74% of his triple double
His worst season was wit da lakers but he can hoop wit everybody else 😂😂😂
Russ is best as the 3rd option playing off a playmaker(Jokic) and scorer (Murray)
The 🐐
Denver fans "Westbrick! He's so toxic"
Russ joins Denver
Denver fans "Russ is such a great guy. He's great"
All he needed was the right environment to thrive in.
I want so bad for the Nuggets to win a title with Russ but I just don’t know if this roster is good enough. Russ is getting better, but Jamal and the bench are serious question marks
If you can do it, do it. Ass whole was saying he was stat padding.
Hey look. Coach said "want you to be Russell Westbrook" and he's playing well. When you dont try and make him something he isn't the results are good. Imagine that.

Wait..but LePeds told the world Russ was washed up?🤔
Personal stats are completely useless in Basketball? #1 in triple doubles, how many rings?
Stockton #1 in assists, how many rings?
Winning a championship is a team achievement, not an individual accomplishment
@VernonTang so...thanks...you proved my point. Personal stats are over rated
@@Tony525_ it depends tho, personal stats, awards and achievements all in one matters
@@Tony525_ in the 90’s . Nobody ate in MJ and Hakeem era. They’re too dominant.
