Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED get it together guys you’re mentioning style of play when KD shot them out that series when up 3-1;Westbrook and Waiters kept them in the game. They were up by 6pts in 4th of every game
How's he wrong tho? He's a good dude to be around for 82 games, but don't expect him to lead the team to a ring when he's chucking 40 ft bricks every other possession.
No Shannon is just as ignorant as anyone else. Funny how the only ones saying he's a bad teammate is the media commentators, meanwhile actual players say otherwise.
I've been court side during an OKC game, next to the OKC bench, and this whole Russell is a bad teammate is false to the highest degree. I always heard him talking to teammates about taking shots, keep taking shots, and I even heard "you can that [shot] up all night! Keep shooting!". He even talks to teammates prior to going back on the court about strategy. The tv media just happens to pan to Westbrook mean mugging on the bench after every OKC timeout, etc. Don't believe everything you see. He's the hardest working player in basketball; bar none! And OKC isnt even my favorite team.
People be trippin. KD and Russ were ONE WIN AWAY from a second finals appearance in 5 years and they talk about how "Russ wasn't the right teammate for Kevin". Actually, Russ was perfectly fine for Kevin, it's just that BOTH blew a 3-1 lead against Golden State. That's as much Kevin's fault as it is Russell's fault. How you make it to the Western Conference Finals and lose 3 games in a row? Seriously. Had they won just 1 game, they perhaps would have beat the Cavaliers in the 2016 Finals, who knows? And right now, everybody would be singing a different tune. So I completely disagree with this narrative that Russ was not a good teammate for Kevin, and that he cannot win a championship. He got to at least one NBA finals, right? How many finals Chris Paul been to? Vince Carter? Tracy Mcgrady? Steve Nash? Yet no one would label them as "bad teammates" ....... please
its good to hear them talk about something else besides lebron the conversation isnt filled with hate and love for lebron just regular objective rational bball talk and blind crazy skip how you shoot 43 shots and only score 46 points
Kevin Durant literally said himself... "It was just me and russ, couldn't win a championship with those cats." So how did KD leave because of Russ when he said himself that it was because of the other "cats."
OneAnOnIy dont be a sheep. Its obvious kd left because of westbrook, even Steven wonder saw it!!!. Sounded like Pc answer, but kd is an honest man so believe it

Let's be real, KD left OKC because he knew going to Golden State would make winning easier. It had nothing to do with Russ, or how GS plays basketball. He used Russ as a scapegoat to him wanting to leave OKC because he didn't want people to think he was just taking the easy way out. How can you say you can't play with a guy when you had a 3-1 lead against the defend champs, you won multiple scoring titles with him on your team, and you even made one finals appearance with the guy? Yall gotta stop hating on Russ.
Maybe people should say that his play style isn’t the best instead of saying he’s a bad teammate and no one wants to play with him when the only one who really left him was KD who left after 8 YEARS

They hate the realest it's the way of the world if he played before 2003 he would be the most loved player back when real basketball fans watched the game not these casuals that treat basketball like reality tv
We really gonna try to act like kd gets less hate than russ? He is unanimously known as a snake and a cupcake by nba fans. Russ is the peoples player. No way he gets more hate than kd
@@Wtfisthissupposedtobe guys like Colin Cowherd are the ones that are making the audience hate Westbrook by calling him a stat padder but Le3-6ron is the GOAT 😂😂😂😂
Y’all just repeat the narratives you hear on tv. Last year Russ was being compared to Wilt for the individual season he had. Now most people barely have him in their top 10. Think for yourself and maybe you’ll learn to appreciate the game more.
I don't think it's fair for people to say Westbrook is a bad teammate because KD took the easy way out, and went to a historically stacked team that would have won a championship with or without him. If the roles were reversed and Westbrook went to the warriors would we be calling KD a bad teammate? Would we praise Westbrook's finals MVPs and act like he single-handedly won golden state back to back titles smfh #whynot
Westbrook Finals MVP is so comical. Thanks for the laughs. LMAO. And no nobody would question a role player leaving. The problem is a role player taking many more shots than the 2x regular season MVP
@Robin Celadilla are we forgetting that fact that he was on the team with Westbrook when they made it to finals right? Are we forgetting that he was up 3-1 against golden state. Let's stop acting like OKC was trash, and just admit KD took the easiest route to a ring lol
@Robin CeladillaI would go to the team that gave me the chance to win too but not Golden State because I have to much pride. I thought KD was going to sign with the Spurs tbh. LeBron is my favorite player but I would bash him too if he chose to go to the warriors lol
Shannon critique everyone except for Lebron. Russell take shots sometimes when it is not necessary & Lebron fails to take shots when it is really necessary, they are two side of the same coin.
King C when did lebron fail the shot? He has more playoff buzzer beaters than kobe and Jordan combined and if u talking about game 1 that was the right play he saw hill running to the basket and klay holding him so he passed that the refs look at hill and klay and call the foul it's not lebrons fault that hill missed the freethrow and jr putting the cherry on the cake with running out the clock
King C but if ur talking about overtime yes he did choke but the man is in his 15 year played the most minutes in nba history played 82 games dropped 8 times 40+ points in this playoffs one was a 51 point game the last time someone did that was Allen iverson in 2001 and he played 48 minutes come on that's just bs
Bill 11 Rings Russell didn’t know bron was 5/5 for buzzer beaters..... why you lebron fans get so emotional when someone talks a little negative about lebron???? Does he pay you or something???
KingMickD cuz he picks if hes gonna airball a deep 3 or force a pass for an assist. as a pg you have to be willing to let the ball flow, like curry. curry makes a lot of passes that lead to assist
Cuz he’s rude to the media so they feel inclined to push negative narratives about him any chance they get. They didn’t get their interview with him, so now they’re gonna act bitter and pick at his game whenever they get the chance
daniel harper did you not read what i wrote??? *EXAMPLE* curry passes to draymond, draymond passes to kd who cut backdoor, kd scores. curry doesnt get the assist for that.
@@matttheknicksfan i agree Russ is not perfect and does make bad decisons at times but I feel like some people get overly critical of him but give Kd a pass.
Westbrook is a great player but you can't win a championship with him as your starting POINT GUARD. He isn't that type of Point Guard that elevates or makes his teammates better like Steph Curry & CP3
This narrative so worn out. Anyone that knows basketball knows why Vic, and Harden thrived after leaving OKC. It has nothing to do with Russ and everything to do with being the NUMBER 1 OPTION on a team. What about Ibaka and Reggie Jackson? Oooooh...
KD is now a champion with golden state something he couldn't quite figure out playing with Westbrook the best example will be when they blew a 3-1 to golden state in 2016. Westbrook was in efficient and a walking turnover and Kd knew he couldn't win a championship with Westbrook as his starting PG... stop cappin
Kevin Durant quit on his team when he was up 3-1 and ran away to a team with three other all stars. Victor Oladipo put in hella work over the summer and got into extreme shape, so he put in his own work and got better, it's not like Russ was holding him back. Harden finally got placed into a position where his coach let him run iso ball for 20 seconds of the shot clock and then pull up for a three while playing as little defense as possible. PG is still a top five SF in the league and the number of open shots he gets while playing on the floor with Russ is so much higher than without him. There's this narrative that Russ is just a ballhog but he's such a dominant player that his teammates get open looks. Players that turned into all stars after they leave OKC isn't because Russ is a bad PG but its because now these players are being dropped in systems meant purely for them to shoot all the shots
He’s definitely a top five player in the league, but he’s too hyperactive on the court. If he would stop shooting threes, and settle for drives to the lane and mid range shots, and learn to pass the ball not just for assists, he’d easily be the best point guard in the league.
Westbrook averaged the most passes per game of any point guard last year and only attempted 4 3s a game. Look at the stats for yourself instead of repeating main stream media stereotypes assigned to certain “controversial” players.
Harrison Cade he's not top 5, especially after his performance this past season. Lebron, KD, Curry, Harden, Kawhi (if healthy), and AD are all better for sure
Me first and still leads the league in assists LeBron is a past first and can't even average 10 assists go figure Westbrook must be a better passer than
The problem with Westbrook is for all the great plays and moments that he has he has moments where he’ll make mistakes that a player in the g league wouldn’t make
Because he learned from Russ how to put in the work & he got his out of shape body in shape. Fact. He spent the off season working on his body & game. Victor said that himself. Plus remember, Victor came on board to be the third option after Russ & KD. But KD left so now Victor became the second option & at that time he wasn’t ready for that.
"Melo thought he wanted to play with him." That makes ZERO sense. Melo waived his no trade clause to play with Russ and PG. Melo played like garbage and the organization and Melo decided to cut ties. How does that involve Melo thinking he wanted to play with Russ?
2nd BEST?! And Shannon thinks Dallas Cowboys fans are delusional. Uncle Sharpe..... it’s over man, Durant is #1 back to back. I’m a Thunder fan btw....
Can somebody please show me in words that came out of Kevin Durant’s mouth that he could not play with Russell Westbrook. Durant never once said that or told anyone that so I’m not sure how people continue saying this for years. If he was such a bad teammate those 2 would not have been competitive the last 4-5 years in the western conference almost always making it to the conference finals every year. They also got nailed with injuries until that final season with kd when they were one game from the finals against a team at that time, was called unbeatable and won 73 games.
Criss Brewsahrd why? Jazz are a 3 seed westbrook and geroge won't get better but donovan will get better and gobert is still young tho and if gobert stays healthy they could get 55 wins
i remember this channel posted a quote of skip saying “I haven’t seen someone with the same intensity as Westbrook since Micheal Jeffery Jordan” I think russel is the 2nd best point guard in the league
On court, Russ becomes the closest thing to Allen Iverson I ever seen, in a good and a bad way. Like AI before there's something in their minds about winning by themselves and taking bad decisions when it counts. Personally I think having a great coach would've been helpful for Russ, these special kind of hyper-competitive players needs someone able to channelling their energies in the right way. AI had his bests seasons with Larry Brown, MJ and Kobe were successful under Phil Jackson, Russ was never that lucky.
Ya remember that game Westbrook and PG combined for 70 to beat the warriors?? Bruh go look at that game.. if Westbrook played like that every night OKC would be unstoppable .. He needs to be a pass first point, The Guy can get anywhere he wants on the court.
Westbrook needs to understand that he is a point guard. The point guard passes the ball. He is not a very intelligent basketball player. Under stress he will do anything, just goes wild and loses the game
Russ will lose games for you. There has been many games that I watched where he took the shot in the end rather than to pass it to KD, who is the better shooter and option for the situation. I would've left as well.
"HE(RUSS) TAKES SOME ILL ADVISED SHOTS AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIME!" This is the most accurate statement about a players GAME time decision making skills ever said..thank you shannon..... GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!
Team winning smart basketball? Wtf is that? And kd couldn't win a chip but was up on gsw 3 to 1 before kd went 20 for 66 in the last 2 games. And Westbrook never avg more shots than kd outside of 2 years but kd still took more shots those years because free throws dont count as fg attempts and kd always avg more free throw attempts than Russell. Which means more shots. FOH😆. AND KYRIE LEFT LEBRON SO WHO TALKING BOUT THAT😆
Russ is a bad teammate ON THE COURT thats all he just has the AI mentality if they losing he feels hes the only one who can bring em back BUT RUSS WONT THROW YOU UNDER THE BUS AND THATS ALL YOU CAN ASK FROM YOUR LEADER
The narrative that KD & Westbrook couldn't win a ring together is so overblown and narrow minded. OKC also lacked depth and 3-pt shooting role players that the Warriors, Heat, Spurs, and Cavs have had in the past few years. Other than KD & Westbrook who was the next biggest 3-pt shooting threat, IBAKA? And let's not forget trading Harden for Kevin Martin LOL is that Westbrook's fault too?
I won’t ever knock a guy for trying to win at any cost. People knock LeBron for not shooting 40 times a game when he loses 1 game but then knock Westbrook for shooting 40 times a game and winning 1 game. It’s a no win situation for superstar players. If this was Kobe people would say “Mamba Mentality”. Regardless, Westbrook could win a ring with a better coach. But the Thunder won’t get rid of Billy Donovan because he’s cheap. And I hate the idea that KD left because he couldn’t win with Westbrook. Like it was all Westbrook fault KD didn’t show up in 3 elimination games.
The only person's opinion on the subject is Kevin Durant's: Who, has 2 championship rings, back to back, since leaving OKC, and letting 'Russ be Russ.' Or, why not ask the opinion of the other person that, also, truly matters in this debate: The head coach, Billy Donovan, who, has done no coaching in the 2 seasons following Kevin Durant's departure from the Thunder.
See, this how the media kills russ. KD never said he couldn't win with Westbrook. The only thing he ever said about him winning in OKC is that he didn't believe in Billy Donovan, and that outside of him and Russ, there wasn't enough talent to get a ring. If Scott Brooks and Harden had stayed, KD would still be in OKC and would be the concensus best player in the league. He'd probably have 2 rings and a finals MVP. But oh well.
Thats why I dont trust people that keep it 100....keep it 115 and we good....and Skip stop co-signing everything Shannon is saying amd vice versa. ...sound like they up in church
I hate this narrative that Russ is always going 100%. It should be “Every night expect 100% from Westbrook, on offense, with the ball in his hands.” He has no off ball movement whatsoever and exerts average energy on defense(not quite harden and Carmelo level but definitely not giving his all like pg).
If y'all actually watched their games in OKC and get past the fact that they got to the WCF and were up 3-1 you'd realize it was because they are individually supremely talented not because they played well TOGETHER! Everytime the game got tight Russ went rogue and played selfishly!
KD never said all that about Russ. KD left because the best team in the league by far had the salary cap space to sign outright without losing any players. That happened due to massive salary cap spike and GS players not getting their big extensions yet. Nothing to do with Russ, KD just left his wife and kids for the hot young model. KD left OKC to join the Warriors and bum rush the NBA, not to get away from Russ.
This doesn’t make sense though because Kevin Durant is the reason why the Thunder lost against the the Warriors back in the 2015 playoffs ... that’s the reality of so this argument that Westbrook kept KD from winning is nonsense ... KD kept KD from winning
I do believe KD left to win a title. However, if they would have beaten Golden State that year instead of blowing a 3-1 lead and won a championship he would have stayed. However, I do believe that he didn't like playing with Russ. There's only one ball. I don't think Russ liked playing with KD either. Russ wants to take more shots, with Kevin he was only averaging about 22 or so ppg. He was forced to share the ball, not score like he likes, and not rack up triple doubles. I think both guys are happier now. Yes, I believe Westbrook is happy he can do what he wants as the only top guy, I don't think he likes losing though. KD is a little overrated, he's Finals MVP twice, but he went to a team that won a title, was in 2 finals, could have won another without him, and had the best regular season record in history. Come on! Westbrook is overrated to, I read an interview once where Bird said he could get a triple double every game, but then the team wouldn't be winning. Instead of making the right plays, Westbrook is padding his stats. Plus, he shoots too much, especially at the wrong times. I hate to say it, but Skip is right, Lebron can do that. I think that Westbrook tries to do it like Lebron, but just can't.
Westbrook is a point guard. And he's a PG on a team where the coach has no real offensive system. So they need a floor general even moreso because Donovan's sets are terrible. So Westbrook's raging bull approach to playing basketball hurts his team A LOT. If OKC had Chris Paul they would be so much better. And don't mistake high assists with actually running the offense. Westbrook is a shooting guard pretending to be a point. The problem is no one else is running the offense.
Shannon doesn't know what he speaks. KD wants to play unselfish ball when Kerr had to ask him to trust his team mates. Like one guy said, KD chose warriors because its an easier path. He though winning would stop the media and fans from critiquing him or asking hard questions. It didn't work so that's why he is responding to everyone who doesn't praise him. Fact is he only wants the good that comes with winning. You don't win 4 scoring with a ball hog as your point guard. Westbrook like John wall, Kyrie, Curry, etc makes bad decisions but he is the one with the lowest fence.
Funny how everyone criticizes Westbrook style of play label him a ball hog ..but he has back to avg triple doubles but Jordan has 10 scoring titles lead in shot attempts every year...but Jordan gets a pass cause his team won ....back then u watched the game for the excitement....now yall mf watch to criticize
LeBron would had won a title with Westbrook, Hardin, & OKC. That's why he's the best in the world. KD couldn't carry a team he needed a team that could carry him, that's the difference.
Well KD said himself in his burner account that Russ wasn’t the problem. They refused to put help around them which caused those two to play iso ball every game. That’s what OKC could never do, play ball as a team. The coaches were awful and never ran plays outside of KD and Russ playing iso
I think KD left because of the front office. The OKC front office put Russ first and cared more about saving money than putting a great team around them. When Russell Westbrook is the second best 3pt shooter on your team, you got a problem. Russell’s ball hog tendencies just made the decision to leave easier.
With both KD and Russ having multiple injuries they were the closest to beating the Warriors, have a finals appearance at 23 years old and KD was scoring champ 3 times running at OKC
Funny, KD could have played the same ball movement offense in Atlanta, Utah, Boston, etc. He chose the 73 win team with a Chip in their pocket. Dont tell me if was all about playing a style of basketball.
Westbrook is a good guy to be on a team with because he's always going to get after it and help his teammates... the thing is he's selfish when it comes to who is in charge combined with an unstable game which makes him come off as selfish... him chasing triple-doubles doesn't help the 'unselfish' situation either... he's okay but he's a pad stat exit first round guy. So as the leader of a franchise, he'll pad his stats to average a triple-double winning MVP while getting bounced in the first round. You cannot be an MVP getting bounced in the first round while padding stats - that's selfish; he's not great he's just a guy that likes to eat all the food.
This has been said Many times Russ is a Great Player, but he's a Horrible PG if he was a SG then there wouldn't be much of an issue I would think... However, It is a Fact he Is a Ballhog. He lead the league in shot attempts And Misses in the last 2 season... I mean what are we supposed to say when we see these numbers or watch the game where he goes 2 for 10 for 3 🤔
To the point about Curry handing KD the ball. It’s much easier for KD to score on this team because you simply can’t double him at all. You’re not leaving either Steph or Klay to double KD. His buckets are now one on one every single game
Why are there people still saying history won’t remember what KD did? Maybe if it happened back then but we have the internet now. What he did people will NEVER forget.
correction: Russ gives 100% on offense when he has the ball on his hands, otherwise he's going to sleep without the ball and on defense, sitting on the paint to grab his stat-padding rebounds
Skip "I know for a fact" yeah right they both hate your guts so how would he even have any insight. 🤡 Stupid argument. KD wanted to go some place to easily win. If he cared about getting his shots why would he go to a team 2 of the greatest shooters ever. Both combine to take more shots then Westbrook. KD wanted a easy path to rings and a bigger market. Even when players come and tell them about Westbrook they still make up their own narrative. Westbrook would defer to KD in fourth a lot.
Let's be real here, anyone with working eyes that watch basketball should be able to tell Westbrook is the worst teammate you could ask for. Especially if youre a stat already. This guys the worst PG in the NBA. The offense he runs is idiotic his passing IQ other than a roller is horrible.
Grant isn’t a KD. I saw the RW and KD split coming when RW lost that series against Miami. He shot them out of that series and that was when KD decided he didn’t want to play with him. Russ is bad for a team who actually wants to win a Finals. He is a very selfish player. He would pass up passing the ball to create movement in an attempt to pass the ball that leads to an immediate bucket (assist). Often times, missing other opportunities. KD was right.
I don't think that he's necessarily a bad teammate, but I don't think you can win with him as your teammate. He hasn't adjusted his game enough to function off ball and let others create offensive opportunities for themselves. His playstyle is just too wild in m opinion. The fact that he looked like an out of control rookie in the playoffs and Mitchell looked like a seasoned veteran is a bad look for Russ. He needs to have a bounce back year.
Russell Westbrook is probably the best and most explosive athlete the NBA has ever seen. He does not have a high basketball iq which is why you see brilliance and then foolishness. Point blank period.
Russell Westbrook is not a good teammate he only cares about his stats he can't shoot and he will never win he made Carmelo look average the same with Victor give okc Chris Paul Kyrie curry Dame I bet they would of went further Paul George made a bad decision
it wasn't just kd fault they blew the 3-1 lead..... everybody hate kd so much for doing what he wanted to do when he was a FREE agent that they wanna put all the blame on him did he shoot some bad shots of course but so did westbrook
that whole narrative that kd left because he felt he can't win with russ is bs in my opinion. Last time I checked kd chocked too with russ against gsw. They should've beaten gsw, they had the team to go all the way. KD just took the easy way out.

@@da_jeezuss8922 exactly but Isaiah played more or less like Russ than a traditional point guard and he won 2 rings so why can't Russ win 1 he has better players than the pistons did
@@danielharper5885 Jason Kidd? Isiah Thomas? Gary Payton?
Kevin Durant never said “I can’t win a championship with Russell Westbrook as the point guard” that’s something the media created all from him deciding to go to a different team with a different system

Hope u right... Getting rid of melo was a blessing
No he won't
Westbrook gets more hate than KD smfh
They hate the realest it's the way of the world if he played before 2003 he would be the most loved player back when real basketball fans watched the game not these casuals that treat basketball like reality tv
We really gonna try to act like kd gets less hate than russ? He is unanimously known as a snake and a cupcake by nba fans. Russ is the peoples player. No way he gets more hate than kd
Well he does have the temperament of a moody young girl.
@@illDefine1 "moody young girl" lmfao I hope you're talking KD cuz he acts like a drama Queen on social media
@@Wtfisthissupposedtobe guys like Colin Cowherd are the ones that are making the audience hate Westbrook by calling him a stat padder but Le3-6ron is the GOAT 😂😂😂😂
Russell Westbrook is a beast ✌✌
No arguement there. Just not going to win with him.
Norman Edwards nobody doubts that... he just makes bad basketball decisions some times
only on 2k.
D. B. give him a super team like kd or lebron, u will
he had one with kd and harden lol
KD is the best scorer, 2nd best player and didn't give us ONE game
Y’all just repeat the narratives you hear on tv. Last year Russ was being compared to Wilt for the individual season he had. Now most people barely have him in their top 10. Think for yourself and maybe you’ll learn to appreciate the game more.
This may be the dumbest paragraph formed on russell westbrook
Alpha G Sorry that you’re too stupid to comprehend a short statement 9 other people agreed with. I’ll try to dumb it down for you next time.
M Bruce facts
I don't think it's fair for people to say Westbrook is a bad teammate because KD took the easy way out, and went to a historically stacked team that would have won a championship with or without him. If the roles were reversed and Westbrook went to the warriors would we be calling KD a bad teammate? Would we praise Westbrook's finals MVPs and act like he single-handedly won golden state back to back titles smfh #whynot
Westbrook Finals MVP is so comical. Thanks for the laughs. LMAO. And no nobody would question a role player leaving. The problem is a role player taking many more shots than the 2x regular season MVP
@Robin Celadilla are we forgetting that fact that he was on the team with Westbrook when they made it to finals right? Are we forgetting that he was up 3-1 against golden state. Let's stop acting like OKC was trash, and just admit KD took the easiest route to a ring lol
@Robin CeladillaI would go to the team that gave me the chance to win too but not Golden State because I have to much pride. I thought KD was going to sign with the Spurs tbh. LeBron is my favorite player but I would bash him too if he chose to go to the warriors lol
@Robin Celadilla I can respect that lol
Shannon critique everyone except for Lebron. Russell take shots sometimes when it is not necessary & Lebron fails to take shots when it is really necessary, they are two side of the same coin.
Amen Brother
King C when did lebron fail the shot? He has more playoff buzzer beaters than kobe and Jordan combined and if u talking about game 1 that was the right play he saw hill running to the basket and klay holding him so he passed that the refs look at hill and klay and call the foul it's not lebrons fault that hill missed the freethrow and jr putting the cherry on the cake with running out the clock
King C but if ur talking about overtime yes he did choke but the man is in his 15 year played the most minutes in nba history played 82 games dropped 8 times 40+ points in this playoffs one was a 51 point game the last time someone did that was Allen iverson in 2001 and he played 48 minutes come on that's just bs
Bill 11 Rings Russell didn’t know bron was 5/5 for buzzer beaters..... why you lebron fans get so emotional when someone talks a little negative about lebron???? Does he pay you or something???
@@babyfacelatino8562 u should ask the same question to his haters
Kyrie left Lebron too so is that the standard for a bad teammate ?
Why doez Russ get all of the blame when it comes to okc not winning a chip and Kd leaving?
KingMickD cuz he picks if hes gonna airball a deep 3 or force a pass for an assist. as a pg you have to be willing to let the ball flow, like curry. curry makes a lot of passes that lead to assist
Cuz he’s rude to the media so they feel inclined to push negative narratives about him any chance they get. They didn’t get their interview with him, so now they’re gonna act bitter and pick at his game whenever they get the chance
@@matttheknicksfan so why can't curry lead the league in assists
daniel harper did you not read what i wrote??? *EXAMPLE* curry passes to draymond, draymond passes to kd who cut backdoor, kd scores. curry doesnt get the assist for that.
@@matttheknicksfan i agree Russ is not perfect and does make bad decisons at times but I feel like some people get overly critical of him but give Kd a pass.
This was actually a good take
Westbrook is a great player but you can't win a championship with him as your starting POINT GUARD. He isn't that type of Point Guard that elevates or makes his teammates better like Steph Curry & CP3
Muni or you can look at that they lost to a rookie in the first round 👀
Allahja Flowers Westbrook haters ignore facts.
This narrative so worn out. Anyone that knows basketball knows why Vic, and Harden thrived after leaving OKC. It has nothing to do with Russ and everything to do with being the NUMBER 1 OPTION on a team.
What about Ibaka and Reggie Jackson? Oooooh...
KD is now a champion with golden state something he couldn't quite figure out playing with Westbrook the best example will be when they blew a 3-1 to golden state in 2016. Westbrook was in efficient and a walking turnover and Kd knew he couldn't win a championship with Westbrook as his starting PG... stop cappin
Kevin Durant quit on his team when he was up 3-1 and ran away to a team with three other all stars. Victor Oladipo put in hella work over the summer and got into extreme shape, so he put in his own work and got better, it's not like Russ was holding him back. Harden finally got placed into a position where his coach let him run iso ball for 20 seconds of the shot clock and then pull up for a three while playing as little defense as possible. PG is still a top five SF in the league and the number of open shots he gets while playing on the floor with Russ is so much higher than without him. There's this narrative that Russ is just a ballhog but he's such a dominant player that his teammates get open looks. Players that turned into all stars after they leave OKC isn't because Russ is a bad PG but its because now these players are being dropped in systems meant purely for them to shoot all the shots
He’s definitely a top five player in the league, but he’s too hyperactive on the court. If he would stop shooting threes, and settle for drives to the lane and mid range shots, and learn to pass the ball not just for assists, he’d easily be the best point guard in the league.
Westbrook averaged the most passes per game of any point guard last year and only attempted 4 3s a game. Look at the stats for yourself instead of repeating main stream media stereotypes assigned to certain “controversial” players.
He is not top 5 sorry Lebron Durant Anthony Davis Curry and Kawhi are better than him. Outside of the top 5 i'll even take James Harden over him
Do you even watch basketball or do you just repeat what you hear others say on tv
Russ Is Barely A Top 3 PG let alone a top 5 Player Lol
Harrison Cade he's not top 5, especially after his performance this past season. Lebron, KD, Curry, Harden, Kawhi (if healthy), and AD are all better for sure
Jerami grant W💯
Westbrook is a very talented player, however is basketball smarts is on the level of Jr Smith.
That 115% statement is right but.. He plays so out of control and stat pads. Just the honest truth
Cant differ to teammates. . What about the first 30 games of last season Skip and sharp. Carmelo was the issue not Russ.
Russell is a "me first" Player. That's his only problem
ittasteslike beansnbacon no he’s a do it all my self player
Me first and still leads the league in assists LeBron is a past first and can't even average 10 assists go figure Westbrook must be a better passer than
And as point guard thats not good
As long as Westbrook keeps making stupid decisions OKC might be the wrong destination for any Top player
The right choice????!!!!!! People don’t forget
Loved hin with Kd Harden But 100% Ball Hog...
Ok wait a min KD doesn't no the meaing of Alpha male
Y every time people talk about Russell they HAVE to bring up KD it’s annoying
The problem with Westbrook is for all the great plays and moments that he has he has moments where he’ll make mistakes that a player in the g league wouldn’t make
Why did Victor become a way better player?
Because he left okc
Because he learned from Russ how to put in the work & he got his out of shape body in shape. Fact. He spent the off season working on his body & game. Victor said that himself. Plus remember, Victor came on board to be the third option after Russ & KD. But KD left so now Victor became the second option & at that time he wasn’t ready for that.
I agree with KD leaving why not play with who you want too
"Melo thought he wanted to play with him."
That makes ZERO sense. Melo waived his no trade clause to play with Russ and PG. Melo played like garbage and the organization and Melo decided to cut ties. How does that involve Melo thinking he wanted to play with Russ?
2nd BEST?!
And Shannon thinks Dallas Cowboys fans are delusional. Uncle Sharpe..... it’s over man, Durant is #1 back to back. I’m a Thunder fan btw....
Can somebody please show me in words that came out of Kevin Durant’s mouth that he could not play with Russell Westbrook. Durant never once said that or told anyone that so I’m not sure how people continue saying this for years. If he was such a bad teammate those 2 would not have been competitive the last 4-5 years in the western conference almost always making it to the conference finals every year. They also got nailed with injuries until that final season with kd when they were one game from the finals against a team at that time, was called unbeatable and won 73 games.
Thunder are a 3 seed this year
Criss Brewsahrd True
Criss Brewsahrd why? Jazz are a 3 seed westbrook and geroge won't get better but donovan will get better and gobert is still young tho and if gobert stays healthy they could get 55 wins
2nd seed
Bill 11 Rings Russell Everybody in the West got better and the Jazz added nobody.
Bill 11 Rings Russell if the thunder play the Jazz again in the playoffs the thunder will come out on top
i remember this channel posted a quote of skip saying “I haven’t seen someone with the same intensity as Westbrook since Micheal Jeffery Jordan” I think russel is the 2nd best point guard in the league
Unc looking like that enormous kid in class who's always trying to convince you that roids are actually good
They were playing winning basketball when they had Harden. They just ran into Prime LeBron. Okc front office is to blame, not Russ.
2:58 Yet again Skip gets exposed for not knowing what usage rate is..
On court, Russ becomes the closest thing to Allen Iverson I ever seen, in a good and a bad way. Like AI before there's something in their minds about winning by themselves and taking bad decisions when it counts. Personally I think having a great coach would've been helpful for Russ, these special kind of hyper-competitive players needs someone able to channelling their energies in the right way. AI had his bests seasons with Larry Brown, MJ and Kobe were successful under Phil Jackson, Russ was never that lucky.
Russell Westbrook is the best 2 guard in the league who is being allowed to run the point to the demise of his own team.
Shannon put it well. The brand of basketball he plays may not convert to championships, but maybe best competitor in the game.
Not figurative, seriously, who is Jeremy Grant?
Cant Blame Westbrook when OKC organization is trash
He's not a bad teammate,he just doesn't know how to play team basketball.
Ya remember that game Westbrook and PG combined for 70 to beat the warriors?? Bruh go look at that game.. if Westbrook played like that every night OKC would be unstoppable .. He needs to be a pass first point, The Guy can get anywhere he wants on the court.
Well when they last lost it was on kd. He was shooting more, and missing more games 5-7. That's fact
skip like throwing in KD at the end because he know Shanon wouldn't have any time left to say what he wanna say lol
Westbrook needs to understand that he is a point guard. The point guard passes the ball. He is not a very intelligent basketball player. Under stress he will do anything, just goes wild and loses the game
Not true
Westbrook is a SELFISH teammate so how can he be a good teammate? He should be a great teammate but he is NOT
Russ will lose games for you. There has been many games that I watched where he took the shot in the end rather than to pass it to KD, who is the better shooter and option for the situation. I would've left as well.
"HE(RUSS) TAKES SOME ILL ADVISED SHOTS AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIME!" This is the most accurate statement about a players GAME time decision making skills ever said..thank you shannon..... GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!
Team winning smart basketball? Wtf is that? And kd couldn't win a chip but was up on gsw 3 to 1 before kd went 20 for 66 in the last 2 games. And Westbrook never avg more shots than kd outside of 2 years but kd still took more shots those years because free throws dont count as fg attempts and kd always avg more free throw attempts than Russell. Which means more shots. FOH😆. AND KYRIE LEFT LEBRON SO WHO TALKING BOUT THAT😆
why these clowns bring up KD and westbrick playin together again?
Russ is a bad teammate ON THE COURT thats all he just has the AI mentality if they losing he feels hes the only one who can bring em back
BUT RUSS WONT THROW YOU UNDER THE BUS AND THATS ALL YOU CAN ASK FROM YOUR LEADER
The narrative that KD & Westbrook couldn't win a ring together is so overblown and narrow minded. OKC also lacked depth and 3-pt shooting role players that the Warriors, Heat, Spurs, and Cavs have had in the past few years. Other than KD & Westbrook who was the next biggest 3-pt shooting threat, IBAKA? And let's not forget trading Harden for Kevin Martin LOL is that Westbrook's fault too?
I won’t ever knock a guy for trying to win at any cost. People knock LeBron for not shooting 40 times a game when he loses 1 game but then knock Westbrook for shooting 40 times a game and winning 1 game. It’s a no win situation for superstar players. If this was Kobe people would say “Mamba Mentality”. Regardless, Westbrook could win a ring with a better coach. But the Thunder won’t get rid of Billy Donovan because he’s cheap. And I hate the idea that KD left because he couldn’t win with Westbrook. Like it was all Westbrook fault KD didn’t show up in 3 elimination games.
The only person's opinion on the subject is Kevin Durant's: Who, has 2 championship rings, back to back, since leaving OKC, and letting 'Russ be Russ.'
Or, why not ask the opinion of the other person that, also, truly matters in this debate: The head coach, Billy Donovan, who, has done no coaching in the 2 seasons following Kevin Durant's departure from the Thunder.
See, this how the media kills russ. KD never said he couldn't win with Westbrook. The only thing he ever said about him winning in OKC is that he didn't believe in Billy Donovan, and that outside of him and Russ, there wasn't enough talent to get a ring.
If Scott Brooks and Harden had stayed, KD would still be in OKC and would be the concensus best player in the league. He'd probably have 2 rings and a finals MVP. But oh well.
Thats why I dont trust people that keep it 100....keep it 115 and we good....and Skip stop co-signing everything Shannon is saying amd vice versa. ...sound like they up in church
I hate this narrative that Russ is always going 100%. It should be “Every night expect 100% from Westbrook, on offense, with the ball in his hands.” He has no off ball movement whatsoever and exerts average energy on defense(not quite harden and Carmelo level but definitely not giving his all like pg).
If y'all actually watched their games in OKC and get past the fact that they got to the WCF and were up 3-1 you'd realize it was because they are individually supremely talented not because they played well TOGETHER! Everytime the game got tight Russ went rogue and played selfishly!
KD never said all that about Russ. KD left because the best team in the league by far had the salary cap space to sign outright without losing any players. That happened due to massive salary cap spike and GS players not getting their big extensions yet. Nothing to do with Russ, KD just left his wife and kids for the hot young model.
KD left OKC to join the Warriors and bum rush the NBA, not to get away from Russ.
This is all so simple. Russ is not a sidekick. He’s designed to be THE guy. Not one of THE guys
This doesn’t make sense though because Kevin Durant is the reason why the Thunder lost against the the Warriors back in the 2015 playoffs ... that’s the reality of so this argument that Westbrook kept KD from winning is nonsense ... KD kept KD from winning
I do believe KD left to win a title. However, if they would have beaten Golden State that year instead of blowing a 3-1 lead and won a championship he would have stayed. However, I do believe that he didn't like playing with Russ. There's only one ball. I don't think Russ liked playing with KD either. Russ wants to take more shots, with Kevin he was only averaging about 22 or so ppg. He was forced to share the ball, not score like he likes, and not rack up triple doubles. I think both guys are happier now. Yes, I believe Westbrook is happy he can do what he wants as the only top guy, I don't think he likes losing though. KD is a little overrated, he's Finals MVP twice, but he went to a team that won a title, was in 2 finals, could have won another without him, and had the best regular season record in history. Come on! Westbrook is overrated to, I read an interview once where Bird said he could get a triple double every game, but then the team wouldn't be winning. Instead of making the right plays, Westbrook is padding his stats. Plus, he shoots too much, especially at the wrong times. I hate to say it, but Skip is right, Lebron can do that. I think that Westbrook tries to do it like Lebron, but just can't.
Westbrook is a point guard. And he's a PG on a team where the coach has no real offensive system. So they need a floor general even moreso because Donovan's sets are terrible. So Westbrook's raging bull approach to playing basketball hurts his team A LOT. If OKC had Chris Paul they would be so much better. And don't mistake high assists with actually running the offense. Westbrook is a shooting guard pretending to be a point. The problem is no one else is running the offense.
Shannon doesn't know what he speaks. KD wants to play unselfish ball when Kerr had to ask him to trust his team mates. Like one guy said, KD chose warriors because its an easier path. He though winning would stop the media and fans from critiquing him or asking hard questions. It didn't work so that's why he is responding to everyone who doesn't praise him. Fact is he only wants the good that comes with winning. You don't win 4 scoring with a ball hog as your point guard. Westbrook like John wall, Kyrie, Curry, etc makes bad decisions but he is the one with the lowest fence.
Funny how everyone criticizes Westbrook style of play label him a ball hog ..but he has back to avg triple doubles but Jordan has 10 scoring titles lead in shot attempts every year...but Jordan gets a pass cause his team won ....back then u watched the game for the excitement....now yall mf watch to criticize
LeBron would had won a title with Westbrook, Hardin, & OKC. That's why he's the best in the world. KD couldn't carry a team he needed a team that could carry him, that's the difference.
Well KD said himself in his burner account that Russ wasn’t the problem. They refused to put help around them which caused those two to play iso ball every game. That’s what OKC could never do, play ball as a team. The coaches were awful and never ran plays outside of KD and Russ playing iso
I think KD left because of the front office. The OKC front office put Russ first and cared more about saving money than putting a great team around them.
When Russell Westbrook is the second best 3pt shooter on your team, you got a problem.
Russell’s ball hog tendencies just made the decision to leave easier.
So why y'all keep saying KD a snake😑it was never personal strictly business He Couldn't win with Russ Being the primary decision maker
Of course Russ isn't the "best teammate" for Durant... We all know he'd rather play with a 73-9 championship team.
With both KD and Russ having multiple injuries they were the closest to beating the Warriors, have a finals appearance at 23 years old and KD was scoring champ 3 times running at OKC
Funny, KD could have played the same ball movement offense in Atlanta, Utah, Boston, etc. He chose the 73 win team with a Chip in their pocket. Dont tell me if was all about playing a style of basketball.
Westbrook is a good guy to be on a team with because he's always going to get after it and help his teammates... the thing is he's selfish when it comes to who is in charge combined with an unstable game which makes him come off as selfish... him chasing triple-doubles doesn't help the 'unselfish' situation either... he's okay but he's a pad stat exit first round guy. So as the leader of a franchise, he'll pad his stats to average a triple-double winning MVP while getting bounced in the first round. You cannot be an MVP getting bounced in the first round while padding stats - that's selfish; he's not great he's just a guy that likes to eat all the food.
This has been said Many times Russ is a Great Player, but he's a Horrible PG if he was a SG then there wouldn't be much of an issue I would think...
However, It is a Fact he Is a Ballhog. He lead the league in shot attempts And Misses in the last 2 season... I mean what are we supposed to say when we see these numbers or watch the game where he goes 2 for 10 for 3 🤔
To the point about Curry handing KD the ball. It’s much easier for KD to score on this team because you simply can’t double him at all. You’re not leaving either Steph or Klay to double KD. His buckets are now one on one every single game
Why are there people still saying history won’t remember what KD did? Maybe if it happened back then but we have the internet now. What he did people will NEVER forget.
correction: Russ gives 100% on offense when he has the ball on his hands, otherwise he's going to sleep without the ball and on defense, sitting on the paint to grab his stat-padding rebounds
Skip "I know for a fact" yeah right they both hate your guts so how would he even have any insight. 🤡 Stupid argument. KD wanted to go some place to easily win. If he cared about getting his shots why would he go to a team 2 of the greatest shooters ever. Both combine to take more shots then Westbrook. KD wanted a easy path to rings and a bigger market. Even when players come and tell them about Westbrook they still make up their own narrative. Westbrook would defer to KD in fourth a lot.
Let's be real here, anyone with working eyes that watch basketball should be able to tell Westbrook is the worst teammate you could ask for. Especially if youre a stat already. This guys the worst PG in the NBA. The offense he runs is idiotic his passing IQ other than a roller is horrible.
Lol every time skip says :I know for a fact with 0 substance to explain his comments, I only watch this show for comedy not for basketball....
Grant isn’t a KD.
I saw the RW and KD split coming when RW lost that series against Miami. He shot them out of that series and that was when KD decided he didn’t want to play with him.
Russ is bad for a team who actually wants to win a Finals. He is a very selfish player. He would pass up passing the ball to create movement in an attempt to pass the ball that leads to an immediate bucket (assist). Often times, missing other opportunities.
KD was right.
Didn't KD actually say that everyone APART Westbrook in OKC was trash? "Can't win with those cats"
I don't think that he's necessarily a bad teammate, but I don't think you can win with him as your teammate. He hasn't adjusted his game enough to function off ball and let others create offensive opportunities for themselves. His playstyle is just too wild in m opinion. The fact that he looked like an out of control rookie in the playoffs and Mitchell looked like a seasoned veteran is a bad look for Russ. He needs to have a bounce back year.
i love Gsw because they made KD To be the best than in Okc
curry >>>> westbrick
Russell Westbrook is probably the best and most explosive athlete the NBA has ever seen. He does not have a high basketball iq which is why you see brilliance and then foolishness. Point blank period.
Russell Westbrook is not a good teammate he only cares about his stats he can't shoot and he will never win he made Carmelo look average the same with Victor give okc Chris Paul Kyrie curry Dame I bet they would of went further Paul George made a bad decision
They keep mentioning okc jazz game 5. Where russ had a decent game and PG had a bad one.
How about games 1 to 4? So non closeout games doesnt count?
it wasn't just kd fault they blew the 3-1 lead..... everybody hate kd so much for doing what he wanted to do when he was a FREE agent that they wanna put all the blame on him did he shoot some bad shots of course but so did westbrook
that whole narrative that kd left because he felt he can't win with russ is bs in my opinion. Last time I checked kd chocked too with russ against gsw. They should've beaten gsw, they had the team to go all the way. KD just took the easy way out.
