Stephen A says he's "not impressed" by Russell Westbrook. Russ wife jumps in

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Not to butt in but how is that bias? This is the problem with discussing Russ in general it’s such a skewed view of him. CP3 definitely doesn’t have the accomplishments that Russ does. It’s just that Russ is Sabo which is bad and Chris is not a Sabo type player which is viewed in a better light.

Russ has the better accolades that matter more (MVP) but I would say that CP3 is more over better player and difference maker. I would also argue that CP3 is more conductive to winning and makes players better more than Russ.

It’s no shot against him though and his accomplishments.

Are y’all nikkas serious rn?

All I can give CP3 over Russ is that he’s led his teams farther in the postseason as the main guy. Other than that what exactly has he done that Russ hasn’t?

Not even tryna derail the thread but wat u guys are telling me, is u see those two resumes and say one is far more accomplished than the other?

Russ did win in life. He wasn't even really recruited coming out of Leuzinger High until Ben Howland saw something in him. He got some real goons in his family too. From where he came from to winning MVP of league is championship level shyt. Don't let the "ring police-ring culture" tell you anything different.

Russ don’t got better accolades all he has is the MVP over CP which CP was runner up to a ATG in his sole mvp season

really crazy how nikkas are sayin Russ is far more accomplished that is ridiculous

“I was a champion once I made it to the NBA.”
After a slow start to the season, Russell Westbrook has been on a tear lately. Over his last 20 games, he’s averaging 24.6 points, 11.7 assists and 11.1 rebounds. Over his last three games, he’s averaging a ridiculous 25.6 points, 16.0 rebounds and 15.0 assist. The only other player to have a three-game stretch averaging at least 25, 15 and 15 is Wilt Chamberlain.

This little part summed it up for me. Stephen A has a point.. He has great stats... Okay and? Are his teams winning? I think that's what Stephen A is trying to say. Great individual player like we haven't seen in a while cool.. He has to win more games when it counts though.

The only thing one can argue that Westbrook has over CP3 is those two MVP awards and those triple double seasons. Even then, those still didn’t amount to anything as he got washed out of the playoffs in the first round.

Good for Russ & his wife putting that lame SAS in his place.

Is he? I think what CP3 got over Russ is he’s more under control and has led his teams further on his own. Other than that....

Russ has the better accolades when it comes to MVP and those triple double seasons. Other than that, CP3 has him beat.

I’m assuming that’s what he’s referring to when he mentions accolades.

CP3 was mvp runner up
Has 6 steal titles
And 7 first team all defense
And 2 more assist titles than him

the resume even shows u who the better player

Alot of these NBA dudes are way too sensitive

 

[Apprentice]

Look all I’m sayin is these nikkas tried to say the accolades show Russ is far and ahead of him, I was jus highlighting that is most def not true

 

[Voice of Reason]

I feel what Russ was sayin...but it's just basketball bro. Stephen A didnt cross any lines or make shyt personal. The shyt he said about Lebron back in the day? That shyt was personal...when he wrote an Article back in the day shytting on AI calling him an alcoholic? That was personal. Him and big dawg Robinson almost coming to blows? That shyt was personal. Hell even that shyt he said about Kyrie earlier this year was way worse.

But ay...the man's wife is a riderPlus women can't separate that basketball shyt. That's personal every single time to them..

Exactly how I feel. Westbrook does a lot off the court for the community but he's way too sensitive about his on the court critique.

Russell has the better career numbers, but it doesn't necessarily translate into making his team or teammates better. CP3 you can argue actually does with what he's done for multiple franchises.

OKC wouldn't have had the same record with Westbrook at helm than they did the year CP3 was there. Swap Westbrook out with CP3 in Phoenix and they wouldn't be the 2nd best team in the league.
