@P S Shannon is top 5 all time at his position and was the best TE in the league in his prime. Westbrook is barely a top 10 pg of all time and he was never better than CP3, Steph, or Kyrie in his prime

“ WHAT .. I’m trying to win a championship and you over here talkin about you want some happy kids !?!? I need you and your kids to go to another team … “ 😂😂😂😂 Best comment of Shannon Sharpe’s career!!

Not giving the full context on why he's been on different teams in a short amount of years. Shannon even uses this in his argument back in the past when he wasn't on the Lakers to fit his “narrative”. Let's begin he and PG said that they would give OKC one more year before both committing to leave if they didn't do far in the playoffs. Then goes to Houston, Russ wanted to leave Houston because he didn't like how relaxed they were on James harden and overall management in general and wanted to go back to being ball dominant setting folks up and all that good stuff. Now to the team he shouldn't have left but I get it the wizards. He wanted to go back home which I can respect and also really get his best shot at a championship or getting there since being there with KD and ultimately losing to Bron lol. So all this Russ is getting traded solely based on poor play isn't the whole context that “THEY” are making it out to be. 🤷🏾♂️
Yeah trade that man and let him be him on another team while the Lakers still be trash with all those old geezers. Steady finding a scapegoat instead of calling out all the problems the Lakers have
Doesn't make sense how ONE player can take the blame for an entire team situation. Sure, yes he deserves the criticism because of the level of his talent. But woah, all these analysts need to slow down. The team is not a UNIT.
I dont know how it doesnt make sense. When you are a starting point guard of the team with as much usage as he has, ONE player can literally make or break a team specially in basketball. If Lebron averaged 40% on fg, 60% on ft, 30% on 3s while having 5-8 TOs per game as well and dont play defense during his championshio years, you’d think they’ll win? When you are a superstar and earns freaking $44M/yr so much is required and expected of you. Thats just how it is
so what are they doing about AD because since last year when they lost in the first round before russ he was playing soft with no energy like he has this year too? I'm not even a Westbrook fan but all I see is they bashing russ when russ is not only doing his part he's trying to do the best he can. Doing my research the last month his TO dropped to 1 or 0 a game? he's not shooting well neither is the whole laker team? aint he one of the new 13 players they added this year, to a team he def doesnt fit on? He still shooting fg% better then Steph and like last night GS lost to the pacers too and I don't hear anybody saying GS needs to trade this or trade that even though they didn't get 13 new players. People complain about his no rings and who he played with but pre and post russ harden, pg13, Melo, beal etc still don't have a ring right? Dame doesnt have a ring never been to a finals game? Russ worst year and he's still avg 19 8 and 8 ? I think its BS they point the finger at russ like he's the scape goat for the lakers, if I was russ id ask to be traded how ever way you can do that. Or let them bench you and just play lackluster for the rest of the season too much bashing of someone who broke records and plays his heart out every game and still doesnt get the respect because he's not a shooter and he speaks up for himself. the league is dumb period my opinion so I don't need any responses just sick of RUclips adding these dumb a&& videos of just bashing russ when there's over a dozen other players on that team that's playing bad too.
I was kinda excited for him to be in our team but what I seeing he'll no. Dude is trash. No wounder Kevin Durant left okc. Russ has the most min then anybody in the squad. If he was mostly bench the next one to get all the smoke would be Dwight Howard. Howard is trash no cap
It’s a constant on this show, I didn’t think russ would be the scape goat because he’s the THIRD best player but they decided that he’s turned them from a 60 win team to below .500. You would think they would look at literally any stats that prove his win percentage (since mvp season) is normally 58% and his win percentage with
Pro he always cared about winning wtf are these ppl talkin about ... every teammate has said this the only ppl that say he cares about stats more is the media who is not in a locker room .. wow
One of the reasons why russ is so delusional about his play is because he doesn't watch criticism about him at all. He watches nun of this, chalks it up as haters. LeBron doesn't check social media during the playoffs russ doesn't check it all year that's why he looks at the reporters crazy most of the time cuz it gets brought to him.
@@YJP23 The Houston Rockets would be interested in trading John Wall for Russell Westbrook if they were incentivized, sources tell Marc Stein of Substack.
I'm not a basketball guy, but how can Russell Westbrook be considered one of the 75 greatest players of all-time, a surefire first-ballot HOFer if he's as bad as everyone says, if his game makes it impossible for a team to win? His stats this year are all pretty close to his career averages other than shot attempts and free throw percentage (and points, which are down as a result of the other two). His FG%, rebounds, assists, turnovers, minutes are all pretty much at his career averages. If the result is this detrimental to winning, how can he be a top 75 player?
Stats ain’t everything bro it’s the eye test he ain’t as good as he used to be watch him play now and go on RUclips and watch any random games of his Before he won MVP he used to be so much better before he fell in love with triple doubles
Although there were some people better than him who were left off the top 75, Russ is on there because he has the accolades. Multiple All star appearances, MVP, scoring title but he’s not a winning player. He doesn’t make his team better it’s all about stats for him. He plays out of control and has a low basketball IQ. You have to watch the games to see how bad he plays.
Cause people thought averaging a triple double overcomes all those deficiencies. Except all it really comes down to is a bad point guard that can rebound. Great ... I'd rather have one that can shoot and can handle the ball...
Westbrook's problem is he's that old dude that refuses to acknowledge his sight is getting worse. Give him some glasses and he'll be shooting like Steph Curry. 🤣
Yeah fool. But he’s there to be the second best player and help the team win, he should be good enough to be there to help him, not benched cuz he hurts the team more than he helps clown
Not just winning teams, but other teams PERIOD. Like I understand they get viewership and stuff but I can't believe they're literally talking about the EXACT same topic as the day prior
It’s called ratings. How do you guys not get this by now. This is a business not a charity. Lakers, Brady, Lebron bring the ratings whether you like it or not. Guarantee if they stared talking no name teams and teams in smaller markets, their ratings will drop, especially if other shows continue to talk the big name teams. It is the way it is. Not saying I enjoy it either, but this show was made to make money and the money is in a few teams, names, and sports
@@adrianchandler7853 if he's a huge part of the problem why did the Lakers get outscored when Russ went to the bench by Indiana? Frank Vogel is more a problem then Russ is, only thing Russ can be held accountable for is his recent slump and that's it
Dog for real the Lakers front office should be held to the highest accountable Rob Pelinka needs to be fired. I love Magic but if he didn't quit in this team they wouldn't be in this position now
Shannon resonate with me on that losing bothering me. I feel like things that happen to others I think about what I could do better. I started saying russ needs to come off the bench
Aren't they saying the same thing over and over again ? What I am waiting for to hear is : how the rest of the team is playing like *hit too. Russ is not the only one who is playing bad.
@@pureog1479 there has been nights that he gave triple doubles and shot the ball efficiently and they still lost the game. Games that him and lebron played great and the rest of the squad is as cold as ice. That tells me that If the rest of the team don't show up lebron and Russ can't save them. And most nights they don't show up😐
That pink suit is remarkable Shannon and that black with the gold chain skip looks absolutely beautiful, you both are a class act keep u the incredible work, you all make it look so good 👍
Believe it or not it’s harder to play defense in today’s league than it was in the 90s don’t let people fool you it’s not so much the players are playing different the fact of the matter is you can’t touch people you have to depend on foot speed sliding your feet effectively on defense just to be able to guard people because they’re always going to be firing all three point shots with the slightest bit of room
Russ needs to stop trying to get defensive rebounds for a triple double and play defense maybe he will not get benched at the end of a close game also lessen turnovers and take higher percentage shots
They just need show him some of his old highlights russ is slasher and we're just seeing him in the right position lebron needs to run the point unless they have Dame$ and just hit russ on the move russ needs a proper shooting coach that can teach him to relax a bit with more rythm
I have no idea what Russ could’ve said to not get trashed at this point. I know undisputed cycles through the same topics a lot but this is pretty garbage to keep kicking him while he’s down.
He deserves it tho, hes never been held accountable for his play but now. Its always excuses but he consistently doesnt play team ball, he play for hisself n its showin now

@@el84oro they signed russ because if lebron and ad got injured russ would still be there and russ is actually turning it around this season hes cut down on the turnovers and against the magic he shot 47% from the field and the scapegoat last year was injuries to lebron and ad and kuzma is avg the same numbers as last year kcp is avg his career avgs but hes less efficient this year trez is playing better but that's because he has a bigger role
I just want to know if all this Russ bashing is going to lead to LeBron playing defense or does LeBron continue to get a pass a long as he pays his stats like he did in the final seconds of the pavers game which these two failed to point out

@@iAmAdriy then he shouldn't be considered a superstar. soon as Mello lost a step they tried to kick him out the NBA then made him come off the bench. but LeBron gets all the excuses in the world while he plays poorly on defense and still be considered a superstar, it makes no sense. and of course you cant ask him to be a top notch defender at this age but people shouldn't be just blowing pass him at will and he can at least attempt to help in the paint and rotate some time. he be looking like he stuck in the mud on d a lot of the time

It has got to be refreshing showing up to work and having her and Jenny walking around all day.
Word.
Doesn't make sense how ONE player can take the blame for an entire team situation. Sure, yes he deserves the criticism because of the level of his talent. But woah, all these analysts need to slow down. The team is not a UNIT.
I dont know how it doesnt make sense. When you are a starting point guard of the team with as much usage as he has, ONE player can literally make or break a team specially in basketball. If Lebron averaged 40% on fg, 60% on ft, 30% on 3s while having 5-8 TOs per game as well and dont play defense during his championshio years, you’d think they’ll win? When you are a superstar and earns freaking $44M/yr so much is required and expected of you. Thats just how it is
@@cbrzy_2556 Well said dude!
so what are they doing about AD because since last year when they lost in the first round before russ he was playing soft with no energy like he has this year too? I'm not even a Westbrook fan but all I see is they bashing russ when russ is not only doing his part he's trying to do the best he can. Doing my research the last month his TO dropped to 1 or 0 a game? he's not shooting well neither is the whole laker team? aint he one of the new 13 players they added this year, to a team he def doesnt fit on? He still shooting fg% better then Steph and like last night GS lost to the pacers too and I don't hear anybody saying GS needs to trade this or trade that even though they didn't get 13 new players. People complain about his no rings and who he played with but pre and post russ harden, pg13, Melo, beal etc still don't have a ring right? Dame doesnt have a ring never been to a finals game? Russ worst year and he's still avg 19 8 and 8 ? I think its BS they point the finger at russ like he's the scape goat for the lakers, if I was russ id ask to be traded how ever way you can do that. Or let them bench you and just play lackluster for the rest of the season too much bashing of someone who broke records and plays his heart out every game and still doesnt get the respect because he's not a shooter and he speaks up for himself. the league is dumb period my opinion so I don't need any responses just sick of RUclips adding these dumb a&& videos of just bashing russ when there's over a dozen other players on that team that's playing bad too.
I was kinda excited for him to be in our team but what I seeing he'll no. Dude is trash. No wounder Kevin Durant left okc. Russ has the most min then anybody in the squad. If he was mostly bench the next one to get all the smoke would be Dwight Howard. Howard is trash no cap
If they make a package to trade Howard and russ and some one eles I would be happy 😊
It’s a constant on this show, I didn’t think russ would be the scape goat because he’s the THIRD best player but they decided that he’s turned them from a 60 win team to below .500. You would think they would look at literally any stats that prove his win percentage (since mvp season) is normally 58% and his win percentage with
@@blackhawk156 wow what a way of thinking.
@@omarmoran3097 didn't ask for responses and disagree Def based on your own opinions and not facts as I presented
Pro he always cared about winning wtf are these ppl talkin about ... every teammate has said this the only ppl that say he cares about stats more is the media who is not in a locker room .. wow
Im not a fan of Shannons take but he so right about Westbrick. Im shocked but he never wanted him there.
I’d pay to see WB reaction to these takes…
On god it would be the funniest
Probably has to do home renovations after each segment
One of the reasons why russ is so delusional about his play is because he doesn't watch criticism about him at all. He watches nun of this, chalks it up as haters. LeBron doesn't check social media during the playoffs russ doesn't check it all year that's why he looks at the reporters crazy most of the time cuz it gets brought to him.
Here before people start complaining that the topics are recycled but watch everyday
Westbrook is a dynamic player on the Knicks. Please send him to NYC. They will trade for him.
Who do you want from ny
NY already said that they don't want him, along with all the other teams
@@YJP23 The Houston Rockets would be interested in trading John Wall for Russell Westbrook if they were incentivized, sources tell Marc Stein of Substack.
@@WaltRich007 John Wall and Russ have the same salary. John 21-22 is $44,300 and 22-23 is $47,300. What do they want in addition than even swap?
@@RITAS1964 cash consideration.
I expect major moves by the deadline
Any GM who takes that contract isn't gonna have a job come next year
That was fantastic
All of the blame shouldn’t be on Westbrook alone.
class in session today with Unc! speaking all faxx no printer! periodt!!
Westbrook was brought here to be the fall guy and he's playing his role well
this was such a great segment
Charles was right for real, these bums are blaming Westbrook but the whole circus
That’s cuz Russ is the clown and main character of the whole circus
@@aname5669 yeah I just realized he is only player on the team
they want to force a trade hoping that the lakers can get better, which will be a win for the league
That was an all time great rant by shannon sharpe. Wow
I'm not a basketball guy, but how can Russell Westbrook be considered one of the 75 greatest players of all-time, a surefire first-ballot HOFer if he's as bad as everyone says, if his game makes it impossible for a team to win? His stats this year are all pretty close to his career averages other than shot attempts and free throw percentage (and points, which are down as a result of the other two). His FG%, rebounds, assists, turnovers, minutes are all pretty much at his career averages. If the result is this detrimental to winning, how can he be a top 75 player?
To me he not a top 75 ALL time
Stats ain’t everything bro it’s the eye test he ain’t as good as he used to be watch him play now and go on RUclips and watch any random games of his Before he won MVP he used to be so much better before he fell in love with triple doubles
Although there were some people better than him who were left off the top 75, Russ is on there because he has the accolades. Multiple All star appearances, MVP, scoring title but he’s not a winning player. He doesn’t make his team better it’s all about stats for him. He plays out of control and has a low basketball IQ. You have to watch the games to see how bad he plays.
Cause people thought averaging a triple double overcomes all those deficiencies. Except all it really comes down to is a bad point guard that can rebound. Great ... I'd rather have one that can shoot and can handle the ball...
He isn’t.
Shannon's sense of self-accountability is rare. Respect to you, bro.
Westbrook's problem is he's that old dude that refuses to acknowledge his sight is getting worse. Give him some glasses and he'll be shooting like Steph Curry. 🤣
lol. Yeah okay.
It's gotta be his poor eyesight. Can't think of any other reason to miss so many easy shots at the rim🤓
Damn..... unc sha said a mouthful at the end
Still lost with having Westbrook benched, but they’ll still use Russ as their scapegoat. It’s not just Russ fault that they losing
Thank you someone else has said it
It definitely is and I’m a russ fan u can’t win with him🤷🏾♂️
It’s Lebrons Lmfaooooooo
Lebron Had The Worst Plus Minus In That Game lmao… That’s All Ima Say
Yeah fool. But he’s there to be the second best player and help the team win, he should be good enough to be there to help him, not benched cuz he hurts the team more than he helps clown
waiting for a.d to come back hopefully finally he can stay healthy.... i wont hold my breath.
He said that in context of championships not a single game in January. They literally don't go a day without trying to trash russ.
Imagine if Undisputed talked about *WINNING* teams as much as they talk about the Lakers 😆🤣
Not just winning teams, but other teams PERIOD. Like I understand they get viewership and stuff but I can't believe they're literally talking about the EXACT same topic as the day prior
@ASHLEY BELLING we not even complaining, we just wished they talked about other teams or even changed the topic a little bit
It’s called ratings. How do you guys not get this by now. This is a business not a charity. Lakers, Brady, Lebron bring the ratings whether you like it or not. Guarantee if they stared talking no name teams and teams in smaller markets, their ratings will drop, especially if other shows continue to talk the big name teams. It is the way it is. Not saying I enjoy it either, but this show was made to make money and the money is in a few teams, names, and sports
As a Wizards fan I take great joy in this
Bless you, Tommy Sheppard
They benched him when it was a close game and they ended up losing by like 12 soo maybe everyone should stop blaming Russ.
Facts
@@kckc7140 No, Westbrook is a huge part of the problem!
If they kept Russ in they probably would have lost by 30 🤣🤣
@@adrianchandler7853 if he's a huge part of the problem why did the Lakers get outscored when Russ went to the bench by Indiana? Frank Vogel is more a problem then Russ is, only thing Russ can be held accountable for is his recent slump and that's it
@@kckc7140 Shhhh you’re making sense they don’t like that
I really wish y'all talked about other teams it's same content each day
Dog for real the Lakers front office should be held to the highest accountable Rob Pelinka needs to be fired. I love Magic but if he didn't quit in this team they wouldn't be in this position now
Shannon resonate with me on that losing bothering me. I feel like things that happen to others I think about what I could do better. I started saying russ needs to come off the bench
Aren't they saying the same thing over and over again ?
What I am waiting for to hear is : how the rest of the team is playing like *hit too.
Russ is not the only one who is playing bad.
Yeah but Russ is supposed to be the 2nd option right now not a bench player
@@pureog1479 there has been nights that he gave triple doubles and shot the ball efficiently and they still lost the game.
Games that him and lebron played great and the rest of the squad is as cold as ice.
That tells me that If the rest of the team don't show up lebron and Russ can't save them.
And most nights they don't show up😐
This is the best show on the planet man
I think they wanted Westbrook to leverage a trade for Dame or Ben Simmons. Its no chance a team wants him now.
Factz
ben and leBitch bad fit as well but at least ben plays D! can day trade AD/THT for ben and tobias harris and thybulle?
That pink suit is remarkable Shannon and that black with the gold chain skip looks absolutely beautiful, you both are a class act keep u the incredible work, you all make it look so good 👍
I think Westbrook is actually happy the lakers lost, it makes him look better that they couldn’t close the game out without him
They couldn't close a game out with him either.
First time that I completely agree with Skip.
Believe it or not it’s harder to play defense in today’s league than it was in the 90s don’t let people fool you it’s not so much the players are playing different the fact of the matter is you can’t touch people you have to depend on foot speed sliding your feet effectively on defense just to be able to guard people because they’re always going to be firing all three point shots with the slightest bit of room
It is harder. People use hand checking in GOAT debates for MJ all the time.
This was a serious take.. And I agree with everything they said.
Y’all aren’t tired of them talking about the same stuff?
Russ needs to stop trying to get defensive rebounds for a triple double and play defense maybe he will not get benched at the end of a close game also lessen turnovers and take higher percentage shots
He's missing dunks & layups! 😑🙄 How much more "high percentage" a shot can you take than that? 🤔😂
@@kaferrat let others take it
They just need show him some of his old highlights russ is slasher and we're just seeing him in the right position lebron needs to run the point unless they have Dame$ and just hit russ on the move russ needs a proper shooting coach that can teach him to relax a bit with more rythm
@@fixcena Savage! 😂
Russ, Vogel and THT needs to figure it out on another team 😊
Nope it would be Russ,Howard, Vogel on my point of view
THT wasn’t bad lastnight tho
@@omarmoran3097 oh god. Here come TrashHT fans. He’s garbage. He’ll be gone next season
And AD
Shannon is the goat
Westbrook leads there comebacks when they do comeback, benching him was a bad choice!
He’s also the main reason they’re usually down.
Much respect to Shannon that a real mane straight up💯💯
I have no idea what Russ could’ve said to not get trashed at this point. I know undisputed cycles through the same topics a lot but this is pretty garbage to keep kicking him while he’s down.
He deserves it tho, hes never been held accountable for his play but now. Its always excuses but he consistently doesnt play team ball, he play for hisself n its showin now
Skip be coming for Russ like it’s a personal vendetta🤣
i remember shannon calling lakers the favorites after they signed russ
They were favorites before they signed russ they would've probably won in 2021 if AD and Lebron weren't injured
@@TheQuailLord467 after they signed russ, the first few weeks before season started. he was saying now with russ, it takes the load of ad and bron. but now things arent going as planned, russ is the scapegoat. ad was the scapegoat last year.....but they'll continue the narrative bron makes teammates better. even though all the guys lakers shipped out are doing well
@@el84oro they signed russ because if lebron and ad got injured russ would still be there and russ is actually turning it around this season hes cut down on the turnovers and against the magic he shot 47% from the field and the scapegoat last year was injuries to lebron and ad and kuzma is avg the same numbers as last year kcp is avg his career avgs but hes less efficient this year trez is playing better but that's because he has a bigger role
Damn Shannon is always on point and excellent way of putting it into words. Very entertaining.
I just want to know if all this Russ bashing is going to lead to LeBron playing defense or does LeBron continue to get a pass a long as he pays his stats like he did in the final seconds of the pavers game which these two failed to point out
LeFraud is about trying to win that scoring race now dat KD is out! monica don't play dee any more, he too oldAF with only half gas in the tank and hes using all that gas on offence, i don't blame the guy, u can't get 30 AND play D at 37 lolz
you can’t score 30+ points at the age of 54 and be expected to still play top notch defense.
Lebron owns this show
@@kleptodathief3946 if he stop concentrating on scoring so much then maybe he could play better defense. better defense would lead to more wins, thats what its all about winning right. who cares if he scores 30 every night and losing every night.
@@iAmAdriy then he shouldn't be considered a superstar. soon as Mello lost a step they tried to kick him out the NBA then made him come off the bench. but LeBron gets all the excuses in the world while he plays poorly on defense and still be considered a superstar, it makes no sense. and of course you cant ask him to be a top notch defender at this age but people shouldn't be just blowing pass him at will and he can at least attempt to help in the paint and rotate some time. he be looking like he stuck in the mud on d a lot of the time
SKIP IS WEARING THE ROCK'S HIGH SCHOOL OUTFIT LMAO
Lakers best lineup is
Lebron, Stanley/Dwight, Austin reeves, monk, Avery B. Depending how he is playing maybe tht for Avery Bradley
Stop it
Bro they would get smoked every single night with this lineup lol
I mean at this point, why not try it.
This is one of Shannon’s best takes 100%
Remember when the Bronsexuals said LeBron was gonna prove that he can win a ring with Westbrick? Yeah LeBron can’t even last the season with him. If KD played on the Heat in the Weak East for a decade like LeBron I wonder how many MVPs & Rings KD would have.
Zero. KD can’t play team basketball
@@UrinalUser Sure seemed like he did when he was sweeping up LeBron on the Warriors.
@@stoppingbronsexuals992 anybody with a 72 win team don’t have to do much
Are u insinuating that kd playing with prime Westbrook has something to do with Lebron playing with the worst possible version of Westbrook. U sound idiotic and I can indulge a lil further to make my statements make more sense but u should get what I’m saying unless you’re a complete idiot.
@@stoppingbronsexuals992 exactly when he was sweeping Lebron with Steph, klay , dray , and iggy . Did u forget the team he joined to finally win? Dumb mfs all in this comment section.
When skip said PREACH..I instantly RIP Young Dolph ! 🐬🙏🏽
I have to admit kevin durant was right. Playing with lebron is toxic. You can play bad on so many other teams and never be mention. 🤔
