Westbrook needed 16 rebounds in the last game of the season to average a triple double for the 2nd straight year. He's never gotten 20 rebounds in a game in his career and the 1 game where he needs 16 rebounds to average a triple double he gets 20. Is that a coincidence? Am I the only 1 who thinks that's oddly suspicious ? Out of all the games to get 20 rebounds it so happens to be the 1 where needs 16 rebounds to average a triple double ? That's very suspicious it's like the NBA single handley helped him make history 🤔. Russel Westbrook averaged a triple double last year and won the MVP as the 6th seed congratulations Westbrook. This year his team is the 4th seed (better than 6) and again he averaged a triple double and he's not even nominated in the MVP race ? 🤔 very suspicious. Wait how can you be the runner up favorite to win MVP last year as the 6th seed averaging a triple double but not the runner up favorite this year as the 4th seed averaging a triple double ? That doesnt make any sense considering hes technically having a better year than his MVP year considering his team is the 4th seed ? Its like the NBA didnt even care what Westbrook did this year they ignored it they just moved on from him and were ready to shine the lights on somebody else regardless of what his numbers looked like. All of this evidence is showing how rigged the NBA is.
That logic doesnt make sense. NBA players that were blown out by okc have accused russ of chasing rebounds. Russ would be kept in games last year even if they were up by 20 in the 4th quarter.
Julian Randolph lol what youve wtitten makes no sense. Go try get a triple double in a sunday league game. Bet you you couldnt lol i admire all guys stats. Not just WBs. Only punks who never played ball have this chasing stats opinion. That's why you guys were scrubs.
He wouldn't be bashing Russ if Russ wasn't stealing rebounds from teammates. LeBron had to average a triple double. Like come on I'm a big Russ fan but gotta call a spade a spade.
Edward Cordova yeah u tellin me u don't want Russ starting the fastbreak or Melo and what about last night when as soon as LBJ fot 10 pts he sat for the rest of the night 🤷♂️🤔
Mike Williams there's a difference between "playing for 11 minutes for 10 points to say I played 92 games" and "stealing rebounds so I can average a triple double". Imagine if Russ got hurt for attempting to get a rebound. Imagine if he collided with a teammatee trying to get a rebound and they both get hurt. Harmless stat chasing is fine. Being reckless about it is not. If he wanted to average a triple double so bad, he should have had that mentality all season long, not just for the last 2 games. Also would have been a different story if they needed him to put up those stats as well, but he didn't. At all.
Edward Cordova he just wants it more simple Kobe and MJ played the same way in a more violent era don't wanna hear if u had the ability to avg a trip-dub u would do it simple
So when Lebron gets his ten points and sits to keep his record on the last game of the season its no biggie but when Westbrook gets his rebounds its stat padding. Aight Colin
LUC Westbrook is selfish Adams over here with three rebounds while Westbrook has 20 or 16 lol if ur a good teammate you want everyone to eat at the table not steal it for ur own glory. Lonzo ball is a great rebounding point guard that gets legitimate rebounds not Westbrook.
not even remotely the same analogy.....Lebron can easily play the whole night and not hurt his teammates at all....Lebron only played 11 minutes it would be ludicrous for him to play 5 minutes of a game and then just quit. Westbrook is literally stealing rebounds from his teammates and leaving shooters early to try to get the rebound when he should be concentrating on defense and let his bigs worry about rebounds
Lebrons record is nowhere near the record that russ has accomplished. Plus the thing is that Lebron going for stats isnt as bad as russ since lebron is past his prime. Lebron has 4 mvps and 3 rings and is top 5 of all time. Russ has yet proven himself to be a winner. He has 0 rings, caused kd to leave and cant win with pg, adams, and melo.
Jason’s meter was broke af 😷😷 you could see on Brian and Stephen’s face just how much more familiar they were with basketball and the importance of certain things, they was making Russell Westbrook faces 😂😂🤣🤣
When Steven Jackson says "...the same man that fined me $3million...is that my 'friend?! NO!!!!'" Ouch....I can see the pain in that man's voice smh. I loved the Mallace At The Palace!
LeBron 3 time champion, 4 time mvp, and been to 7 straight finals. Lost kyrie and team had hella injuries plus trdaes. I'd want LeBron to have the ball in his hands. From 18 his avg was 20,5,and 5 rookie season and now it's 27,10,and 10. Imo both are doing it for they team cause they are they team. Don't let media opinions upset you. LeBron James is always compared but until anybody else in the league been dominate for 10 years plus and accomplished half of what he has then other stars will get passes. Imo OKC will heat up in the playoffs trust me.
Every NBA player ever will defend Russell, the only people talking about stat padding are people who didn't play after high school. C'mon Colin, step off. C'mon.
And I don’t mean that as in to take away from his achievement I mean this as in he’s not affecting his team wins or losses so does it really matter if he’s getting a few extra rebounds
TenThumbs Productions exactly... I guarantee you LeBron was trying his hardest to average a triple double this year. there were even players on his own team calling him out for stat padding.. but ppl just act like it never happened.. end of the day if you got a chance to average a triple dub why not do it
Partly yes. But Jackson's argument that Westbrook should be very high in the MVP voting does not make sense and I highly doubt that Broussard would have Westbrook in his Top 3 for MVP voting this year.
slim trucka The mere fact that you actually thought you could compare Westbrook to Lebron is flat out embarrassing. If you actually think LeBron just holds the ball...... Jesus, casual fans.
LeChoke lead the entire league in 4th quarter points, you clown. He doesn't care about defense anymore but he's better than any player ever after 15 seasons.
Light Yagami he's 33 bruh 😂 you not even gonna be able to run a full game at 33 😂😂 who cares if he sits back on d. watch these playoffs (mainly the ecf and finals) lebron gonna be playing defense and looking like a straight goat. Ion give af bout him not defending in the RS.
The only two people who know what it’s like in the NBA and actually have the experience and knowledge to talk about the sport are arguing against an obsessed bronsexual and a 4’7 300 pound bald Jabba da hut. 😞 these reporters have to LISTEN sometimes.
Last year he led the lead in scoring while averaging a triple double on a mediocre TEAM & led them to the playoffs.... THIS YEAR his TEAM was expected to be way better than last year and they basically has the same record as last year THAT'S WHY he's not higher in the MVP race PERIOD
Tonio5100 that’s part of it. The other part is the narrative has changed. MVP is given to stories. “It’s Harden’s time” is a narrative, Westbrook doing the same thing twice isn’t as flashy a story
Isaac the narrative hasn't changed tho.... What Westbrook did last year is WAY BETTER than what he doing this year PERIOD..... It's not "James Harden turn" it's James Harden is having a BETTER OVERALL SEASON than everyone else point blank period that's why he's getting MVP no other reason
Tonio5100 disagree. The narrative has changed. Harden’s season has been really good, but so has AD’s and Lebron’s. The narrative is what helps Harden. It’s his turn, point blank. That’s the story.
Bad Eye his team’s better than everyone else. Proof being that even without Harden they were really good. Small sample size but still. You’re not gonna compare Harden’s supporting cast to everyone else’s. Again, it’s the story. MVP always goes to the biggest story. Last year, Westbrook gets it cuz Durant left him, and it was a great story that he willed his team to the playoffs with an historic trip dub. This year, trip dubs don’t matter cuz it’s Harden’s time. That’s just the story.
Tonio5100 and lost to the real MVP after chucking 17 shots in the 4th quarter of a game they could have won. In fact, half their loses in that series Westbrick shot them out of the game in the 4th.
Kallah"where are you now" beeb KLove would have been an all star this year😂 don’t matter what he did or didn’t do. I’m not saying LeBron has a better team cause he doesn’t but people are constantly praising the “best basketball player in the world” who’s a 4th seed in the East.
I can honestly say this was the best episode I have EVER seen of Speak For Yourself. This lineup needs to be done at least 2 times a week. Intelligent, forward thinking, out of the box concepts and debates on the game and how to evolve. Real truth from players and questions from hosts. I could watch this for HOURS. Please duplicate this again. PLEASE.
By far my favorite sports talk show. With the addition of Jack' n Scalabrine it doesn't get any better for a NBA basketball specific debate style discussion talk show....Lol that's a mouthful.
I think it should be noted that players are the ones that are celebrating that. They're the ones that understand the game the most so that should say something
Whats with this Stats mean nothing Colin, yet you constantly point to Stats when defending Lebron. Oh and they're avoiding that its been the philosophy since donovans gotten there
If Colin is going to bring up Bonds and PED's, he should start asking the question about LeBron's longevity. Starting to look similar to Bonds and Clemens.
Colin the d rider back at it again! Always sticking up for Queen James! The excuses start flowing for him immediately when someone challenges his Queen!
People who don't play or coach sports and see all the pain associated with winning or great feats should shut up. The energy, sacrifices, talent, time, mental fortitude needed to accomplish things in sports is underrated by those who couldn't do 1/100 of these things. This goes for every single sport.
It's not easy to get 10 rebounds. It's a heck of a lot easier when you get team mates to help you. If Rodman boxed for MJ specifically to get rebounds, MJ would have 10 rebounds too.
Paul I literally box people out all the time and allow my teammate to get the rebound. It's not a big deal at all. It happens a lot of you pay attention.
They are tripping ,if the big man focusss only to box out instead of tying to get the rebound himself the defenseve team has much more chance for the rebound. And Russel is there all the time.
Ok ok let me say this first. I think Westbrook is a great player, one if my favorites and averaging a triple double 2 years in a row is a great accomplishment but! Considering how the game is played with spreading the floor with not too many legit big men/ centers blocking the lane to get rebounds I dont think it necessary means the player is so valuable that he automatically should be MVP. Also let's say you have one player that averages 20 to 25 points a night 10 rebounds 10 assists. Is he really soooo much more valuable then someone who averages 30 to 35 points 12 rebounds 6 assists? I thinks it's a great stat but doesn't necessarily means wins or most value
jonathan andrade see you would be right ifwestbrook wasnt 85-19 all time when he gets a triple double.... basically ever since russ started getting TDS HIS TEAM as ive shown has barely lost
jeremiah greenwood again I'm not saying that him scoring a triple double is not valuable but that doesn't mean that its the only reason why they win nore does it mean that mean someone who doesn't score triple double is less valuable. I mean look in the end of okc as a team has more talent then they had last year and yet they still in the place they were last year even with his triple doubles
Im a thunder fan .. Westbrook is my fav player .. was Jordan,Kobe,Westbrook throw Penny in there also those are my fav players .. but westbrook will avg several more triple doubles in his career and he prob wont win a chip even if pg stays .. unless they start running the ball through the big kiwi
Stephen Jackson is comparing apples to oranges. The team didn't game plan for Stephen Jackson to get a triple-double. Jackson's teammates only went out of their way to help him get the 10th assist (not all 10). It was something he teammates focused on for just a 2-minute stretch IN ONE GAME. OKC's game plan has morphed into something designed to help Westbrook average a triple-double. It has become a season-long focus. Westbrook averaging a triple-double has become more important than winning. It's obvious that OKC big men are instructed to not fight for rebounds when Westbrook is in the area. They clear the way to make it easy for him to get rebounds so he can get triple-doubles. There is nothing organic about what OKC does for Westbrook. It's a sham.
Answer this then, what can happen if both players on the same team fight for the rebound and end up losing it????? Answer: the other team gets a chance for a free basket. Also why fight over a rebound thats secured by anyone once they clearly are capable of collecting it
Yes both are 4th seed but LeBron had no other all star, russ legitimately got melo and paul george and barely made the 4th seed. It's more than the triple double or excuses. Fact is OKC had a healthier team and better cast and Cavs had Only LeBron for all 82 and still the same record as last year with kyrie.
Like how Cowherd pretends tanking didn't exist when Stern was in charge. You want to GEF rid of tanking? Do away with the stupid draft lottery (which Stern implemented). That way you have three teams at the end of the year tanking rather than 12+ because they want to improve odds of getting higher pick in the lottery.
The GOAT. We are blessed to even be able to see him. Scalabrine never got recognition because if he tried he would've had a quintuple double. Points assists rebounds, blocks and steals.
Brian Scalabrine is actually really smart . He killed it today 🔥🔥🔥
all is i see is Micheal Rappaport
uniontown1 How dare you compare the GOAT to Rappaport
Brian has the greatest basketball iq of all time
Arber Numani he went in on colin hahhaa
he is also very cool.
THE GOAT HAS SPOKEN
National Shitposting Agency came to this video just for this comment 😎
National Shitposting Agency the white mamba baby!!!
Zanbada TMG same
National Shitposting Agency Kwame's better
I was just about to comment this lol
Wow?!? Collin is comparing Russ's rebounding stats to PED use in baseball?!? Hatorade is strong with this one.
sr dargo W
Nonsense
sr dargo how lost his mind with hate
😂👍🏽🤔

Notice how the two players who think it's a big deal have actually PLAYED in the NBA
Bryce Woodford right
That logic doesnt make sense. NBA players that were blown out by okc have accused russ of chasing rebounds. Russ would be kept in games last year even if they were up by 20 in the 4th quarter.
Julian Randolph lol what youve wtitten makes no sense. Go try get a triple double in a sunday league game. Bet you you couldnt lol i admire all guys stats. Not just WBs. Only punks who never played ball have this chasing stats opinion. That's why you guys were scrubs.
Julian Randolph This is a lie 😂 dunno what OKC games u watching but he don’t statpad at the end of blowouts. OKC barely blowout anyone.
Wavey Zatch Last year is what i am talking about.
When Lebron avg a trip-dub in March and Feb u praise him but Russ does it for 2 years not months u bash him 🤔
Mike Williams this
He wouldn't be bashing Russ if Russ wasn't stealing rebounds from teammates. LeBron had to average a triple double. Like come on I'm a big Russ fan but gotta call a spade a spade.
Edward Cordova yeah u tellin me u don't want Russ starting the fastbreak or Melo and what about last night when as soon as LBJ fot 10 pts he sat for the rest of the night 🤷♂️🤔

Who here got love for scalabrine??
mike frm 810
That’s Michael Rapaport man 😂
Wisdom wins every time!
WHITE MAMBA
Everyone bro.
The GOAT!!!
So when Lebron gets his ten points and sits to keep his record on the last game of the season its no biggie but when Westbrook gets his rebounds its stat padding. Aight Colin
I'm one of the biggest Lebron defenders in the world and I'll even admit you're dead on with this
LUC well at least those are lebrons points not like he's stealing them from teammates unlike Westbrook stealing rebounds from teammates
LUC Westbrook is selfish Adams over here with three rebounds while Westbrook has 20 or 16 lol if ur a good teammate you want everyone to eat at the table not steal it for ur own glory. Lonzo ball is a great rebounding point guard that gets legitimate rebounds not Westbrook.

White mamba the 🐐
Cowherd doesn't have a clue! Even when actual basketball players are telling him he's talking nonsense.
formerib same argument for Lebron lol
Ba Bu hes right though. He went too far by implying cheating but it is inauthentic
Most athletes get fat after retirement, but Scal gets more in shape; that's how you know he's the GOAT
He's not a depressing fatass like Shaq or Antoine Walker.
He could've been a Wilt in this league if he wanted too 😂
Esteban Aguayo lmaoooo Damn😂😂
it's because he was fat in the nba, It didn't take much to improve.
jonrock daza don't you mean THICC my boi???
I agree with Stephen and Scal, they’re right
Always making excuses for Lebron ....smh realest statement yet
Wes Chancler I bet you think Lebron is the whole team 😂😂
Lil Cobe no i don't in fact i said that bc i am not a Lebron fan
Lebron dont play defense like the rest of his team
Jay Edwards exactly
Jason’s meter was broke af 😷😷 you could see on Brian and Stephen’s face just how much more familiar they were with basketball and the importance of certain things, they was making Russell Westbrook faces 😂😂🤣🤣
When Steven Jackson says "...the same man that fined me $3million...is that my 'friend?! NO!!!!'" Ouch....I can see the pain in that man's voice smh. I loved the Mallace At The Palace!
Brandon Craig lmfao
Brandon Craig The malice At the palace legit changed the nba
dude. white mamba is a great commentator
Lebron played 11m to get 10 points, goose.
Stefan Wetering its not about minutes but how many shots u take
LeBron 3 time champion, 4 time mvp, and been to 7 straight finals. Lost kyrie and team had hella injuries plus trdaes. I'd want LeBron to have the ball in his hands. From 18 his avg was 20,5,and 5 rookie season and now it's 27,10,and 10. Imo both are doing it for they team cause they are they team. Don't let media opinions upset you. LeBron James is always compared but until anybody else in the league been dominate for 10 years plus and accomplished half of what he has then other stars will get passes. Imo OKC will heat up in the playoffs trust me.
That’s pretty good, at that rate he would have got about 34
That’s pretty good, at that rate he would have got about 34
LeBron played for 10 pts so Cavaliers could LOSE
Yaa!! The show was great with Brian "The GOAT" Scalabrine and Stephen "Tough Guy" Jackson!
LMAO scalabrine completely roasted colin.
Every NBA player ever will defend Russell, the only people talking about stat padding are people who didn't play after high school. C'mon Colin, step off. C'mon.
attacking the person instead of the argument does not help your argument
Chiazo Ezekannagha watching Russ play its obvious he's chasing triple doubles. That's why the thunder aren't a 60 win team
Chasing the trip-dub is the reason why they were struggling to make the playoffs
And I don’t mean that as in to take away from his achievement I mean this as in he’s not affecting his team wins or losses so does it really matter if he’s getting a few extra rebounds
TenThumbs Productions
exactly... I guarantee you LeBron was trying his hardest to average a triple double this year. there were even players on his own team calling him out for stat padding.. but ppl just act like it never happened.. end of the day if you got a chance to average a triple dub why not do it
Colin Cowherd needs to be FIRED
I think sonetimes even he wonders at his own idiotism
On god they need to fire Nick Wright. Atleast cowherd is good when it comes to football. Nick Wright is the worst man
Jaxon Xver agreed..
Jaxon Xver facts
Jaxon Xver I hate this this dude
Chris Broussard is urgently needed here for some objectivity...Stephen Jackson and Colin Cowherd are BOTH super biased when it comes to Westbrook
He is the one guy on FOX who thinks logically.
Broussard was would agree with jackson and scalabrine.
Broussard is a joke lol
Amen
Partly yes. But Jackson's argument that Westbrook should be very high in the MVP voting does not make sense and I highly doubt that Broussard would have Westbrook in his Top 3 for MVP voting this year.
Scalabrini should be on here more.
So, lebron holding the ball till the last 5 seconds of a shot clock for a guy to jack up a three ain't goosing... leave Russ alone
slim trucka The mere fact that you actually thought you could compare Westbrook to Lebron is flat out embarrassing.
If you actually think LeBron just holds the ball......
Jesus, casual fans.
26Isoken you must not watch cavs games u calling ppl casual go watch the games fanboy
slim trucka Actually naw it isn’t, it’s bad offense
You right, bad offense... here's a better example... harden, dribble dribble dribble, I don't have the shot, here you take it
slim trucka *
LJ plays for stats, its ok... Westbrook does it, it is bad...
Frefer Porti I heard people saying lebron stat padded his stats too foh
lol .. you A fool, get help
people always call lebron a stat padder but he wins. So his stats come in the floe of the game more often than not
he won two more games in the weaker conference lol so it gives him a pass for all his stat padding....right...
Cosmic DooHickey I mean in that context yo have a point Mt but it’s not being fair
Anyone else thing Jackson and ScalaGOAT might have a good show?
12:54 stephen jackson with yet another jab at my boy chandler parsons lmao
It's cuz he could also average 4 points in the league at his age right now lol
Atleast he's consistent with the one two biscuits lol
😂 😂 I love it
Lol no he jabbed that fan when he ran in the stands
@kyle patillo underrated comment.
Scal says facts.. LeChoke is goosing.. Quits defending.. Goes for the offensive stats..
LeChoke lead the entire league in 4th quarter points, you clown. He doesn't care about defense anymore but he's better than any player ever after 15 seasons.
Light Yagami he's 33 bruh 😂 you not even gonna be able to run a full game at 33 😂😂 who cares if he sits back on d. watch these playoffs (mainly the ecf and finals) lebron gonna be playing defense and looking like a straight goat. Ion give af bout him not defending in the RS.
Brian Scalabrine need's to come on these shows more. He's legit.
The only two people who know what it’s like in the NBA and actually have the experience and knowledge to talk about the sport are arguing against an obsessed bronsexual and a 4’7 300 pound bald Jabba da hut.
😞 these reporters have to LISTEN sometimes.
Young Misfit Exactly!
Should start another show with Steve Jackson and Brian Scalabrine, they are killing it!
Last year he led the lead in scoring while averaging a triple double on a mediocre TEAM & led them to the playoffs.... THIS YEAR his TEAM was expected to be way better than last year and they basically has the same record as last year THAT'S WHY he's not higher in the MVP race PERIOD
Tonio5100 that’s part of it. The other part is the narrative has changed. MVP is given to stories. “It’s Harden’s time” is a narrative, Westbrook doing the same thing twice isn’t as flashy a story

two hoopers vs. two dudes that's never played in high school, imma side with the hoopers everytime
shows you the difference between ppl who play ball and the media. agree with the players 100%
5:58 FACTS
55:08 facts!
LeBron didn't gain 2 all stars.
Hayden The Digger inajtes Melo and IT we’re all stars last year. PG and KLove(injured tho) would have been all starts this year. Nice try bud
Kallah"where are you now" beeb KLove would have been an all star this year😂 don’t matter what he did or didn’t do. I’m not saying LeBron has a better team cause he doesn’t but people are constantly praising the “best basketball player in the world” who’s a 4th seed in the East.
Travler Simpon L again lmao this kids a joke
The chubby dude always seems to have the worst takes lol
Whitlock is a definite clown to most people lol
I can honestly say this was the best episode I have EVER seen of Speak For Yourself. This lineup needs to be done at least 2 times a week. Intelligent, forward thinking, out of the box concepts and debates on the game and how to evolve. Real truth from players and questions from hosts. I could watch this for HOURS. Please duplicate this again. PLEASE.
The white mamba got my respect man, Colin's biases are showing hard here
Cowherd and whitlock telling two former nba players what the real deal is lmao that's like a patient telling a doctor how to perform the surgery
Man, Stephen and Scalabrine just reminded Colin that you don't need to know anything about basketball to talk about it.
3:44 “no no Noo your triple double was a night” I busted out laughing I know he felt played lol
Brian Scalabrine🐐
I though Rapaport lost weight when i saw the thumbnail, but then I read the title and quickly realized it was Scalabrine.
I couldnt stop laughing when Jackson said Lebron is also a 4th seed lmao
By far my favorite sports talk show. With the addition of Jack' n Scalabrine it doesn't get any better for a NBA basketball specific debate style discussion talk show....Lol that's a mouthful.
i’m not lying idk how these people have jobs bro this is comedy they don’t know basketball. 🤣
lmao they're so stupid
0:07 - 0:12 Looks like Collin is having a hard time trying not to kiss this man lmao
Look if anyone on this planet had the ability to avg a trip-dub they would do it especially if it's only been done twice
I think it should be noted that players are the ones that are celebrating that. They're the ones that understand the game the most so that should say something
The White Mamba has spoken
This is the best debate cast. Scal and Jackson always bring the fire
He says “A stat doesn’t determine value” yet he worships Lebron’s stats everyday
i love Stephen Jackson's comment! you are the real goat!
Brian Scalabrine the white mamba has spoken!
Cowherd: "We should reward effect"
***Criticizes Westbrook for going for the triple double.
scal with the real
he is right about lebron
i dont see noting wrong with that
but thats colin double standard
Love it when players come in to put some of these analysts on check
The goat said it so it's gotta be true lol
THANK YOU SCALABRIE!!! 🙌🏿🙌🏿
They lost it when Stephen brought up LeBron 😂😂
speak for yourself was LIT today!!
THANK YOU MR SCALABRINE THANK YOU AGAIN MR JACKSON
AT LAST SOME PEOPLE TO SHUT UP THOSE STUPID COMMENTS
Scal's idea about how to fix tanking is actually a legit good idea.
Because the standard changes when you become great
Very impressive.. i love brains face when colon was talkin nonesens
Whats with this Stats mean nothing Colin, yet you constantly point to Stats when defending Lebron. Oh and they're avoiding that its been the philosophy since donovans gotten there
White Mamba's lottery draft idea is amazing
If Colin is going to bring up Bonds and PED's, he should start asking the question about LeBron's longevity. Starting to look similar to Bonds and Clemens.
redfirebird2008 Lebron is on PEDs. RUclips it and look it up. The story is quite intriguing and is sadly above all else the truth
Why is this a big deal when Brian Scalabrine averaged a triple double his whole career
Colin the d rider back at it again! Always sticking up for Queen James! The excuses start flowing for him immediately when someone challenges his Queen!
jaylenjordan2007 facts they worship that man
along with Nick and shannon

jaylenjordan2007 he clearly has no shame. He’s a proud FS1 groupie
Sack bringing that heat! 🔥
Colin ain’t never played basketball.
People who don't play or coach sports and see all the pain associated with winning or great feats should shut up. The energy, sacrifices, talent, time, mental fortitude needed to accomplish things in sports is underrated by those who couldn't do 1/100 of these things. This goes for every single sport.
It's not easy to get 10 rebounds. It's a heck of a lot easier when you get team mates to help you. If Rodman boxed for MJ specifically to get rebounds, MJ would have 10 rebounds too.
Paul I literally box people out all the time and allow my teammate to get the rebound. It's not a big deal at all. It happens a lot of you pay attention.
So your team mates sag all the way from the 3pt line for your boxed out rebound too?
That's what you're suppose to do lmao. U put a body on a mf so ur TEAM gets the rebound and the other team doesn't get second chance points.
They are tripping ,if the big man focusss only to box out instead of tying to get the rebound himself the defenseve team has much more chance for the rebound. And Russel is there all the time.
Dude why is a rebounding gaurd a bad thing? Cause your "favourite" player cant do it?
Scal Killing it! Have em on more
Adam Silver is such a flake. He wants to be liked, not respected.
Scalabrine legit needs a tv show again this guys the best
Ok ok let me say this first. I think Westbrook is a great player, one if my favorites and averaging a triple double 2 years in a row is a great accomplishment but! Considering how the game is played with spreading the floor with not too many legit big men/ centers blocking the lane to get rebounds I dont think it necessary means the player is so valuable that he automatically should be MVP. Also let's say you have one player that averages 20 to 25 points a night 10 rebounds 10 assists. Is he really soooo much more valuable then someone who averages 30 to 35 points 12 rebounds 6 assists? I thinks it's a great stat but doesn't necessarily means wins or most value
jonathan andrade see you would be right ifwestbrook wasnt 85-19 all time when he gets a triple double.... basically ever since russ started getting TDS HIS TEAM as ive shown has barely lost
jeremiah greenwood again I'm not saying that him scoring a triple double is not valuable but that doesn't mean that its the only reason why they win nore does it mean that mean someone who doesn't score triple double is less valuable. I mean look in the end of okc as a team has more talent then they had last year and yet they still in the place they were last year even with his triple doubles
Wtf don't we see Brian scalabrine on TV more often. He's a really good speaker
Im a thunder fan .. Westbrook is my fav player .. was Jordan,Kobe,Westbrook throw Penny in there also those are my fav players .. but westbrook will avg several more triple doubles in his career and he prob wont win a chip even if pg stays .. unless they start running the ball through the big kiwi
Is a paper mvp... Teamates give to him Reb and after pass must shot... Stat pader nothing more
If you reward effort with a higher draft pick....shouldn't the NBA champ get the #1 pick every year?
They don't understand how the draft works.
LOL collins hate is getting out of control out here
I like how the pros says it's near impossible to do that and the other one says it's easy hahahahaha
I hate Whitlock
Brain Scalabrine looking at Colin like WTH????LOL (laughing hard)!
Stephen Jackson is comparing apples to oranges. The team didn't game plan for Stephen Jackson to get a triple-double. Jackson's teammates only went out of their way to help him get the 10th assist (not all 10). It was something he teammates focused on for just a 2-minute stretch IN ONE GAME. OKC's game plan has morphed into something designed to help Westbrook average a triple-double. It has become a season-long focus. Westbrook averaging a triple-double has become more important than winning. It's obvious that OKC big men are instructed to not fight for rebounds when Westbrook is in the area. They clear the way to make it easy for him to get rebounds so he can get triple-doubles. There is nothing organic about what OKC does for Westbrook. It's a sham.
Cornell Cannon u sound stupid bro smh it doesn't matter how it get it he got it
If it’s organic or not you don’t have to like it or respect but you have to deal with it
Answer this then, what can happen if both players on the same team fight for the rebound and end up losing it????? Answer: the other team gets a chance for a free basket. Also why fight over a rebound thats secured by anyone once they clearly are capable of collecting it
Iveroni 318 No, it does matter. It totally matters.
Zay The Guru What does that mean?
Dude is way under appreciated. I hope he gets a ring this year. And he should be in the mvp talks.
The Mamba has spoken
I need timestamps for whenever the goat speaks
Lebron exposed by former NBA players.
more like former NBA players are jealous he's still in the league while they broadcasting
Yes both are 4th seed but LeBron had no other all star, russ legitimately got melo and paul george and barely made the 4th seed. It's more than the triple double or excuses. Fact is OKC had a healthier team and better cast and Cavs had Only LeBron for all 82 and still the same record as last year with kyrie.
JJ Kingman you do realize thunder still play eastern teams cavs play western teams sooo
I'm glad Brian and Stephen is on here, making common sense
Chasing stats? Do You mfs mean playing basketball? Y'all goofies.
Most underrated pg of all time
Like how Cowherd pretends tanking didn't exist when Stern was in charge. You want to GEF rid of tanking? Do away with the stupid draft lottery (which Stern implemented). That way you have three teams at the end of the year tanking rather than 12+ because they want to improve odds of getting higher pick in the lottery.
Colin's absolutely right 💯
GOAT
Lol I never clicked on a link so fast! 🤣
I’m with you Colin
The GOAT. We are blessed to even be able to see him. Scalabrine never got recognition because if he tried he would've had a quintuple double. Points assists rebounds, blocks and steals.
Man, I got so much respect for White Mamba! I wish he did more of this, he's super smart and insightful. I'd watch him all the time.
