I was hot last night breh

I'm cooled down now

I still stand by what I said. sad thing is that I was the biggest Russ stan on this board and he lost me. He can still win me back tho:lupe:
Yeah Russ was one of my faves as well

but I can no longer deny how problematic he can be.

I'll always believe that if someone from the Thunder would have had the sense to tell him after the 2012 Finals that Harden was being re-signed and made the point guard and him the shooting guard that the Thunder would have won rings and Westbrook would have been looked at in a more favorable light. The offense always flowed better when Harden was handling the ball that last season and Russy could have stuck to scoring while still getting 5 to 6 assists a game just from playing with the talent around him.

The most fascinating thing about Westbrook is how he managed to make it to this level without even the most basic of basketball fundamentals. I get it, not everyone is gonna be a great shooter or finisher. But what really gets me, is that he doesn’t even have a fundamental as simple as change of speed figured out. Like the dude only has 1 gear and that’s top speed. Every great guard consistently changes speed in the half court to break down defenses. Sometimes they go snail pace and have the defender at their hip, sometimes they accelerate and use their first step, and everything in between, to keep defenders on their toes. Russ literally has none of that. He goes 2000mph to the basket everytime and is way out of control leading to a turnover, a charge, or a woefully bricked layup. Even the freakiest athletic slashers like Giannis and Ja have incredible ability to shift gears. How many times you seen GA glide full speed across the floor then stop on a dime and do that slow ass, long stride euro to get past defenders?
Never seen anything like Russ…

He has no clue what the hell he’s doin and nobody has ever tried to correct the shyt he does.

Everyone along the way has said he’s a great athlete with a great motor and they kept letting Russ G em with his “numbers” and his “motor”

“Oh he just plays so hard”

“He’s a 1st ballot Hall of Famer”

To top it all off the media validated this car crash waiting to happen by voting him MVP.


The narrative of him being a great player has festered and festered and now in year 14 we’re left with this :scust:

Chris Broussard made the point a while back when he said Russ has no idea what he’s suppose to do out there. He jsut goes out there and play and figure it out or not during the game.

Don’t care once again. His Laker legacy is a ring no one remembers. He ruined the franchise.
The Lakers were already on a 5 year playoff drought going nowhere before he arrived :skip:

Out of all that "young core" the only guys on winning teams now are Kuzma and Lonzo, and it took a second trade to save Lonzo :mjlol:

You don't even have to watch to know that, he told you years ago what it was. He plays poker & spades on his phone while everybody else watches film and he doesn't worry about anybody else bc they gotta worry about him



Look at em in the thumbnail he don't even look like he's got any sense. Rockhead starscream head ass nikka always getting foiled and wondering why
