He uses his left hand so well. It is a frightening sight seeing Russell coming at you...full speed..he makes some questionable decisions but he's like Iverson...a tweener.....a pg and sg
There have been a LOT of athletic PGs in the history of the NBA. Oscar, Magic, Kevin Johnson, John Starks, Gary Payton, etc. There are a bunch of ultra-athletic PGs playing NOW: D-Rose, John Wall, Lillard, Rondo, the list goes on and on. But for my money, Westbrook is the most athletic point guard in the history of the NBA.
Ballislife Fitzgerald No, but that's wrong, saying he's your fav player is fine but he's definitely not the best. Not while CP3 is playing, and how do you have CP3 as your prof pic and think Westbrook is better?
forrest Yeah because CP3 has never had the MVP of the league on his side, and CP3 should/would be in the 3rd round if not for that BS call in game 5. Westbrook couldn't even take CP3s team to the play offs much less the second round
yeah but here u only see makes and not his misses wich are much more than durants lol, he is too selfish on the court those rushed 3pts, are all bad shots that he shoulnd take lol, okc is not winning a title if he keeps playing that selfishly
im not talking abaout agressive drives, because thats what he should always do to score or go to the line, im talking about bad jumpers e rushed 3pt shots with a guy all over him, and always missing, shooting under 45 % the only way the thunder is going to win is if westbrook stop trying to do all the scoring and focus on being a good distribuiting PG because he and KD can score but if he doesnt get everybody involved i dont see then putting up the points they need to maintain a lead when they are on the bench
Westbrook is the most entertaining player in the NBA. He's definitely a top 3 dunker, a top 10 player, and when his career is over he will be considered one of the best PG's of all time. He played 350+ consecutive games at the end of the 2012-2013 season, and he is very under rated. It's not Russell's fault that he takes a lot of shots, hence the only very strong offensive players in the team is Kevin Durant, Jeremy Lamb, and himself (Jeremy buries it when he's on fire). If the thunder got a decent starting SG or a Sixth Man that's consistent (like Ray Allen in his last two/three seasons) the Thunder would be unstoppable, and Westbrook's FG% would probably go up 4-7 percent because he would take less shots each game. His PPG would go up by about 2-3 making him an even more dominant player. Even his assists would increase by at least .7 a game which would help the criticism lower.
He could have played in any era of the NBA, and he sill would have been great. He is know doubt one of the toughest, tenacious, and ferocious players the NBA has ever seen. Plus he is super athletic.
Christopher Ngo overrated, played with 3 other hall of famers his whole career, his assist numbers were inflated playing with the best scorer in history in kareem.
Westbrook is a very good point guard but there are many people better than him past or present. Chris Paul, Penny Hardaway, Tim Hardaway, John Stockton. Also Magic and Penny were like the blue print for point guards today
Thanks for uploading highlights with original audio. And not that stupid rap music that people play behind the videos.Thanks again for keeping it professional. Because of this courageous act...i have subscribed. Keep doing what you are doing
I really play similar to this dude, like his pace is amazing. Rugged, hustles, just gotta love it. Gotta get the hops up and the stamina and im good. This shit is something to look up to and yall dont realize.
People hate on him so much is disgusting smh this man is a monster y'all must haven't seen the Playoffs and don't say he takes too many shots because they need him
You know what I hate? I hate when people say Russell takes to many shots,but have you ever thought that the main reason for OKC's comebacks are led by Russell taking "to many shots"?
Hes a star he has one of the best mid range pull up shots in the game n he's the best at attacking and finishing at the rim if he was more consistent from the 3 he would be beast sometimes I think he needs to defer to Durant more but I'm still glad OKC has him
Proof to the point that Westbrook isn't a point guard. He's a shooting guard, more than anything. He's just a point guard because he wants to be the one controlling the offense so he can get more points and stats.
The top three point guard in the game right now are Chris Paul, Tony Parker and Russell Westbrook period. Chris Paul is a silent assassin, always under control and never in a hurry. He runs his team's offense effortlessly and rarely makes blunders. His vision and passing ability separate him from most of the point guards in the league and he is consistently the only elite PG in the league with an A/T ratio aove 4:1. His impeccable handle and vision make him one of the best pick and roll operators currently in the game. And he can score any time he wants though he chooses not to. Defensively, he is good in the passing lanes but he rarely gets himself caught out of position. He knows when to gamble and when to stay with his man. He is a strong guard but bigger guys can post him up or shoot over him and athletic types can blow by him but his smarts and instincts make him a solid on the ball defender defender when he is playing his man. My biggest issue with Paul is his lack of aggressiveness in some game, which rarely shows up with Westbrook and Parker. And although he can score, he defers too much to his teammates to make a play instead of looking for his shot, even when they are struggling to score. Westbrook is the most explosive and athletic guard in the league. With his ability to get into the lane (pick or no pick), and his underrated mid range game, he is one of the best scorers at the position. He has underrated ball handling ability and a knack for finding guys open when he is attracts extra attention on his drives. And he has a knack for throwing crazy dimes to open teammates who cut off the ball and move around. Defensively, he is athletic enough to stay in front of most guards and tall and strong enough to play the post but he does get lost at times watching the ball instead of his man. He is probably the best rebounding point guard in the league right noand that including both offensive and defensive rebounding. My biggest issue about Westbrook is his decision making is erratic at times and he takes too many early shots and commits a ton of" head scratching wtf did he just do " turnovers but he is still great. Parker is the hardest guy of the three to evaluate. Because of the system and team he plays on, his stats and advanced stats won't blow you away like Westbrook and Paul. But make no mistake, he is a beast. He is the most consistent scorer of the three and can throw dimes with either hand. In the Spur's system, he runs off multiple screens to score and doesn't just attack in isolation or on the pick and roll like Westbrook and Paul mostly do. His dribbling ability is second only to Paul and he runs the pick and roll to perfection even though Duncan isn't the threat as the big man he once was. Parker has silky smooth mid range game and consistently is at the top of his position in % of points in the paint. Not to mention he has the best floater in the league and maybe even layups as well. Defensively, Parker is not as good as Westbrook and Chris Paul but he does not have to be with Kawhi and Green able to take the opponent's best guard. And that isn't to say he is a bad defender. He moves his feet on defense, doesn't gamble much and typically knows where to be in the spur's system. The only issue I have on Parker is he doesn't play as many minutes as the other guys and doesn't always guard his PG matchup.
It looks like Westbrook has electricity in his body when he is playing. He's probably the strongest and most explosive PG in the league. But he's not the smartest, if he could only pass a little more to spread the floor, he would certainly be one of the most dangerous players in the league.
In my opinion, Rose and Westbrook are the most DOMINANT Point Guards in the NBA. They've actually beatin up every Point Guard in the Nba expect for themselves. When Rose and Westbrook go head to head, its neither a win or lost cuz of their production and competitiveness on the floor. Westbrook might have more rebounds and Rose might have fewer turnovers, but their numbers are always close
If u guys say russell isn't a PG because he doesn't get a lot of assists then I guess kyrie irving, Ty Lawson, Damien Lillard, nd the list goes on aren't PGs either right?
He clearly likes playing against the warriors kills them everytime can't wait to see him go against the bulls tho with d rose coming back(knocks on wood)
Top 5 PG's 1. CP3 2. Westbrook 3. Parker 4. Curry 5. Kyrie honorable mentions: John Wall, Dragic, Rondo, Lillard, Lowry. (I would add Rose, but he barely played in the past 2 years, so maybe in the future)
Kyrie Irving may be the most overrated player in the league next to James Harden. Doesn't matter how many points you score when you let up almost as many simply because you don't care about defense.
I'd like to see a mix of his missed lay up, bricks and airballs. Hit me up when that mix is made I'll be Bella happy, someone out there with a few game can make this happen.
Obvious hater is obvious Also before you say But it's true!!! AI missed a ton of layups and shots and so has a ton of the other great pgs pretty much you could make that mix of any player
AI is barley 6 foot tall, I'm sure every player in the world has missed a lay up BUT maybe u just have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm talking going full speed, faster then u can handle looking like a clown, have 0%chance to make it lay up. I'm talking about close your eyes u have no idea where the rim is air balls. I don't want anymore reply to my comments unless it's a mix that I've requested.
This guy is one of the best athletes you will ever see
Yes
The most explosive player in the game right now when hes healthy, great dunker too.
No doubt one of the best PG in the league. Not a lot of guys has the athleticism like him.
And now he's more of a liability than a asset
D rose?
@@習近平-n7yd rose rigged the mvp votes
My favorite player right now. Considered one of the best players in the league today and still underrated.
freakishly athletic. unbelievable
Crazy how everyone now is shit on him and back in 2014 everyone loved him 😂
Fr
Back in 2014 he got shitted on as well tbh lol, just not as much as now
the comment section is like a time capsule. People used to love this guy
He uses his left hand so well. It is a frightening sight seeing Russell coming at you...full speed..he makes some questionable decisions but he's like Iverson...a tweener.....a pg and sg
Man if westbrook had handles like kyrie or Jamal crawford how scary would he be. We getting a ring this year. just wait on it
There have been a LOT of athletic PGs in the history of the NBA. Oscar, Magic, Kevin Johnson, John Starks, Gary Payton, etc. There are a bunch of ultra-athletic PGs playing NOW: D-Rose, John Wall, Lillard, Rondo, the list goes on and on. But for my money, Westbrook is the most athletic point guard in the history of the NBA.
i feeel ya
Best point guard in the league hands down
only people who don't know basketball make comments like this
O
CP3 is better than him and stats back that fact up
Ballislife Fitzgerald No, but that's wrong, saying he's your fav player is fine but he's definitely not the best. Not while CP3 is playing, and how do you have CP3 as your prof pic and think Westbrook is better?
TheKomet123 true
Wow he's so athletic and beast even with so many injuries and surgeries all in 8 months other PGs should learn his tricks especially derrick rose
Westbrook best PG in the NBA.
A healthy Derrick Rose is better in my opinion.
Current or past? Current: maybe. Past: Magic Johnson.
CP3 is better than him, no debate
DoU EvenLift No he NOT who got to the third round again somewhere Chris ain't been yet.
forrest Yeah because CP3 has never had the MVP of the league on his side, and CP3 should/would be in the 3rd round if not for that BS call in game 5. Westbrook couldn't even take CP3s team to the play offs much less the second round
way more fun to watch than kd
yeah but here u only see makes and not his misses wich are much more than durants lol, he is too selfish on the court those rushed 3pts, are all bad shots that he shoulnd take lol, okc is not winning a title if he keeps playing that selfishly
im not talking abaout agressive drives, because thats what he should always do to score or go to the line, im talking about bad jumpers e rushed 3pt shots with a guy all over him, and always missing, shooting under 45 % the only way the thunder is going to win is if westbrook stop trying to do all the scoring and focus on being a good distribuiting PG because he and KD can score but if he doesnt get everybody involved i dont see then putting up the points they need to maintain a lead when they are on the bench
These highlights are so sick to watch man
OKC fans better start appreciating/respecting this man or else he's gone.
KD n RW aint goin NOWHERE
Jerry Bird kd and westbrook arent beating the spurs
George Astafyev That's been wrong since 2012
George Astafyev yes okc will they going to the nba finals
George Astafyev bet, theres no way they can take thunder in the playoffs, mark my words.
russell west brook goes hard.... EVERY TIME! u gota love that
2014~2017 was peak Westbrook.
All Respect due . this man is a SG. Just amazing
i admire westbrooks confidence
I swear the young boy seventh woods plays just like this
Damn right!
Yeah, I know him, he is sick
Thx for these man I play ball and I use these
U still playing ball
one of the best PG ive seen
This made my night
Westbrook is the most entertaining player in the NBA. He's definitely a top 3 dunker, a top 10 player, and when his career is over he will be considered one of the best PG's of all time. He played 350+ consecutive games at the end of the 2012-2013 season, and he is very under rated.

Favorite basketball player because of his will and determination to win
westbrook lowkey started insanely ill-advised 3s from feet behind the ac
Best Point God to ever live.
We're you born yesterday?
Louis Lentes I guarantee im older than you.
Magic Johnson ?
Christopher Ngo overrated, played with 3 other hall of famers his whole career, his assist numbers were inflated playing with the best scorer in history in kareem.
Westbrook is a very good point guard but there are many people better than him past or present. Chris Paul, Penny Hardaway, Tim Hardaway, John Stockton. Also Magic and Penny were like the blue print for point guards today
I miss 2014 russel
I've been waiting for this!!
Thanks for uploading highlights with original audio. And not that stupid rap music that people play behind the videos.Thanks again for keeping it professional. Because of this courageous act...i have subscribed. Keep doing what you are doing
About time
both of my fav players on the same team. i don't think it will be like that for long tho...
one of the most athletic and explosive players in the game
Westbrook is a beast
I really play similar to this dude, like his pace is amazing. Rugged, hustles, just gotta love it. Gotta get the hops up and the stamina and im good. This shit is something to look up to and yall dont realize.
Layups dope on everything!
FINALLY!!! Thank you so much
westbrook is the only guy who can "defend" durant getting points
Honestly though, Westbrook is a natural 2 guard, rather than a natural Point Guard. He's still a BAAAD Man tho'.
People hate on him so much is disgusting smh this man is a monster y'all must haven't seen the Playoffs and don't say he takes too many shots because they need him
My favorite point guard
You know what I hate? I hate when people say Russell takes to many shots,but have you ever thought that the main reason for OKC's comebacks are led by Russell taking "to many shots"?
westbrook is nasty on the court hope him and kd never break up
great vid...can we get one for Big Al Jefferson
FINALLYYYYYY!!!!!!!
He went nuts last night against the Spurs !!!
Westbrook in basketball is like Ronaldo in football! The best! He's got no mercy! :)
Soccer*
People should giving this guy groups he does work and not all kd
25.12.2014 San Antonio Spurs Vs Russell Westbrook 106 - 114 R.I.P SPURS.
Hes a star he has one of the best mid range pull up shots in the game n he's the best at attacking and finishing at the rim if he was more consistent from the 3 he would be beast sometimes I think he needs to defer to Durant more but I'm still glad OKC has him
Westbrook is in top gear all the time. I don't believe he's the best point guard but he's easily the most aggressive player in the league.
He will be a top 10 all-time PG
Proof to the point that Westbrook isn't a point guard. He's a shooting guard, more than anything. He's just a point guard because he wants to be the one controlling the offense so he can get more points and stats.
By far my favorite player
Basically Westbrook is a beast, here's my top 5 right now.
1)CP3
2)Rondo
3)Westbrook
4)Rose
5)Wall/Lill
wait.. rose? provided he return to the league first
Yes, I was stating the fact that Rose would be in my top 5 if he was full health.
curry??
Curry isnt AS good as all those guys, he's defidintly next on the list
Take rondo and rose out leave lil and add curry.
The top three point guard in the game right now are Chris Paul, Tony Parker and Russell Westbrook period. Chris

Best scoring PG in the league
NBA FINALS 2015 : Thunder vs Cavs
More like Heat Thunder
***** You know that both OKC and SA are in the same conference?
Nikolaj Grünig There is a realigment plan trying to pass, that would put the Spurs in the eastern conference (Along with three other teams)
RevMasta Even if that's true, it wouldn't affect this season, would it? So the 2015 finals couldn't be OKC vs SA either way.
Nah bruh Portland vs Cavs
like someone down said-the most athletic PG in history
2022 Who miss this WB monster ?
Been working on those one-handed left hand Steph passes.
Definition of "Wild"
Best PG in the league

Best athlete in NBA!
2:21 dat legendary Harden defense...
If u guys say russell isn't a PG because he doesn't get a lot of assists then I guess kyrie irving, Ty Lawson, Damien Lillard, nd the list goes on aren't PGs either right?
He clearly likes playing against the warriors kills them everytime can't wait to see him go against the bulls tho with d rose coming back(knocks on wood)
One > Zero = BEAST
this dude is dangerous
FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYY
WESTBROOK IS THE BEST PG IN THE LEGUE
Russ is the best point guard in the league offensively and defensively
Got that killer instinct like Kobe something the rest of the players in the league lacks
Thunder up! Lets get it this year.
I remember in the playoffs they said WestBrook plays more of a shooting guard than a point guard. You agree or no?
quickest pg in the world
Top 5 PG's
1. CP3
2. Westbrook
3. Parker
4. Curry
5. Kyrie
honorable mentions: John Wall, Dragic, Rondo, Lillard, Lowry. (I would add Rose, but he barely played in the past 2 years, so maybe in the future)
best PG in tha legue right now is JJ Barea
Dunks are deadly
Best PG in the league, after Rondo of course
Can you do one on Kyle Lowry
I fucking love Westbrick
Beast
Beast!
i remember when wade you to be this fast in his prime
Can you make a rajon rondo pt. 2 with more scoring highlights?
Nice Video. 100%
2013-1014
1.Paul
2.Curry
3.WESTBROOK
4.Irving
5.Wall
Where's rondo?
ShaxxX1000 He is not in the top 5 this season
***** True. Dragic had an amazing season
Kyrie Irving may be the most overrated player in the league next to James Harden. Doesn't matter how many points you score when you let up almost as many simply because you don't care about defense.
I like these videos better when you dont show 3 replays of one play. Showingv the highlight once is enough
He was just coming back from sugrey to only played 46 games and dunking sprinting on ppl he was only 25
top 5 in the world for facts!
RUSS IS A BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(In my Riley Freeman voice), "Damn that nigga can jump
Soo Crazyy!!!!
4:01 that hang time
I'd like to see a mix of his missed lay up, bricks and airballs. Hit me up when that mix is made I'll be Bella happy, someone out there with a few game can make this happen.

MRIONLYMATTER you trippin
Watch kobe Bryant guarding Westbrook it's about 16 minutes long but you'll get a few chuckles for sure.
