@bonganimkhwanazi2081 and that's the problem, LeBron brings in a russ who was going crazy in DC but doesn't let him handle the ball.......make that make sense? Yes he's LeBron but you bring in a PG to help you, let him handle the ball but he didn't and everything folded the way it did.
@bonganimkhwanazi2081 not with how washed lebron has been for the last 5 years. He needs to stop being selfish and use the team that he builds and use them to their strengths
Never understood Russ hate, unmatched effort amongst stars, great success story, always good vibes with teammates, irdk how many people who watch actually hoop, but guys like him are amazing for a locker room even when the shot doesn't fall you can count on boards/assists/effort
Nah Mick that John Wall comment is disgusting don’t ever say that again. Russ took Wizards to the playoffs without Beal playing half the games on 0.6% percent chance. He’s been on bad non spacing teams and carried like no other.
Coach Malone is allowing Westbrook to play his game. Just because Steph Curry is a guard that shoot 3 pointers doesn't mean every point guard has to do the same to be able to score. Russ was demonized with the Lakers and Darvin Ham made a decision to bench him because the team and media made Russ the scapegoat for all the team issues. Everybody wants Russ to play the game the way they think he should play but has to play to his skillset. Russ plays hard and has the skills to do things that other guards hasn't been able to do but the haters wanna judge him because he don't shoot the three like Steph, but they overlook that he can still score the ball and Steph doesn't do the same things that Russ does (Simple - they're different players - everybody different.) Also he's bashed because he hasn't won a championship yet. Plenty of HOF's haven't (Barkley, Malone, Gervin, Maravich, Hill, King, Miller, Stockton, Ewing, Dominic, Iverson, CP3, Rose, Nash, Penny, TMac, Webber , Carmelo, Hill, Carter, Harden, Lilliard, etc...) The way the game has changed I rather have Westbrook running my team over LeBron. The winning formula is totally different from how LeBron is playing nowadays. Even now Centers have to be able to assist, dribble and shoot from the outside. I'm a LeBron fan but at this point in his career he is playing to make his stats look as if he is still a top player but actually he needs to be a role player. He wants people on the team that do all the grinding work on defense and allow him to be the focal point on offense because he knows those are the numbers that matter when it comes to looking like you are still playing at a high level. It's hard playing with LeBron. Things got out of hand as far as blame and criticism when it came to Westbrook (especially in this social media era when everyone gets to be an analyst) but let's not forget about others like Bosh, Love, Wade, Irvin (at least Wade and Kyrie was 2nd options) sacrificed their skills in their prime while playing with LeBron.
His talent was never in question, his decision making and shot selection were always my issues with him. Glad to see him clean things up. As a Thunder fan I'll always root for him.
I was a rose guy so it was natural to not like Russell because they were always compared. Like dame and steph. But i always had respect for his mentality. He made it hard to root against him
Me as well I was a D Rose guy but I was also always a Westbrook guys it broke my hurt when D Rose got hurt I used to kick ass with bro on 2K dude was different these 2 have that old school dog in them
Nuggets might end as no.2 at the west there are 45 games still to go, no.1 is unreachable but no.3 or no.2 aren't and it all depends how Jamal will play and if Gordon will come back and in which shape, actually if they only get Gordon like he was in 2023 they will end as no.2 with or without Jamal which they shoud trade at the end of the season because 3mil $ player play better and harder than him who gets almost 50mil like he's some kind of all star player or MVP which he isn't and obviously he will never be.
The crazy parts is you been wrong the question is why didn’t you say the lakers were wrong for playing him wrong it was never him it was Bron wanting to be the allstar and A.D was soft now erbody wanna jump on his sh.. like they left from DIDDY party 😂
Naw don’t try n change it up now. See ppl like you were the problem spreading bs on the web. Trying to save face now. Russ was never a bad player. He’s improved every team except the lakers where lebron took the ball out of his hands at the half court. And he still has 2-3 solid years in him so he ain’t going nowhere
Lebron just sucks and always makes his teammates worse. It's hard to play basketball when its 4v5 defensively and offensively the ball is in the hands of a bum who cant create his own shot and can only make wide open layups.
lol not a all star yeah okay buddy. Only reason he ain’t an all star is coz he wasn’t starting if he had started he would be an all star lock. He is a all star level player still and always has been LeBron and la and harden just screwed him over and made him play spot up shooter
It has nothing to do with Westbrook himself. Jokic has terrible teammates, but he makes them productive. Aaron Gordon and MPJ only get open shots because of Jokic and we all saw Jamal Murray in the Olympics when he didn’t have Jokic. Now it’s Westbrook who is only productive when playing with Jokic. This becomes obvious when Jokic is on the bench and they fall apart. Jokic is Top 10 Alltime.
Ehh I half agree with you. Had Russ not played at such a high level before I would 100% agree (I do agree regarding the others - these guys are only good because of Joker) but Russ is having a bit of a renaissance. Is Joker partly responsible? Yes. Russ is stepping up, though.

He's got one thing that seems to be lacking across the league, which is desire and love for the game.
underrated comment
what? lacking? if his efforts still lacking that's haters comment
@@edmunddalangin9821can you read?
Ain't no WE. I've always believed in my favorite player ever. He wasn't allowed to be himself playing with LeFraud
You might have believed in him, but we is still the right title. So many people thought he was washed.
but now jamal murray can't play like he want
Right he been good everywhere except lakers
@@BigClaunch he was trash with the clippers
@ no he wasn’t. Man came in the playoffs and was competitive then kawhi and George let him down always being injured. He can’t carry a playoff team
The issue was lebron. Always been lebron
Lebron does not defend. Does not do fast breaks. Nice dunk though.
There's only 1 ball. 2 slashing ball dominant guards? Obviously LBJ gets the ball.

@DayOneBean everyone is reduced to a spot up shooter, only when lebron cant get his drive to the basket or dunk.
@bonganimkhwanazi2081 not with how washed lebron has been for the last 5 years. He needs to stop being selfish and use the team that he builds and use them to their strengths
RUSS does not need any "FIXING". All he needed was a place to be himself and he's got that in Denver
Never understood Russ hate, unmatched effort amongst stars, great success story, always good vibes with teammates, irdk how many people who watch actually hoop, but guys like him are amazing for a locker room even when the shot doesn't fall you can count on boards/assists/effort
Exactly! He’s only been average at lakers everywhere else he raises the standard. That’s how you know it’s just conformity.
Only bad Russ was with the lakers .. played good on literally every other team lol
18/7/7 as a Laker just bad shooting splits
Exactly ppl don’t know shit
100% fact
@@trustnun_staylow it was lebrons fault
Them LeBron cult followers owe Russ a LOUD apology!
russ isn't allowing jamal murray to play like himself
Hahah Murray isn’t a Pg! You clearly are not a fan of basketball. Murray is clutch that is it.

Let’s see how he does in the playoffs, if he performs in the playoffs I’ll give him props

He has three triple doubles, and two of them are very recent. If he's made a starter, he could finish the year with 15.
This seems to be the right team for him. I loved the passing & team playing in that game. Im excited about the NBA again.
Jokic said go get Westbrook and they did. He back like Oklahoma City ❤❤❤ my boy they quiet now
His talent was never in question, his decision making and shot selection were always my issues with him.
Glad to see him clean things up. As a Thunder fan I'll always root for him.

I was wrong.
With all these apologies, the haters getting harder to notice
“Is he better than kyrie” that the bar 😂kyrie was like a top 10player in 2017 (btw he was better than kyrie)
Guess who was the best player that year?!
If you questioned Russ over Kyrie & Wall in his prime you’re extremely biased
He has ages great but he needs ball to be effective
Naw don’t try n change it up now. See ppl like you were the problem spreading bs on the web. Trying to save face now. Russ was never a bad player.
