Thankyou JJ redick , coz of you we are getting to know players, off court more then ever.
He would be so raw on the rockets as their center.
Not at 30 million a year for a 3rd/4th option.
@@adgee5401 well yeah ofc not with his current contract. Paycut🤷🏻♂️
No he can’t switch well on defense he’d get exposed by guards
@@BasilR04 maybe Kevin love now would. But Kevin love on Minnesota would chase it down.
john walker Why would he give up 30 million a year because you think it’s a good fit? Use your brain son.
He should honestly join houston to revive his career again
Facts
That would be a nasty pickup they need rebounding
601Boy1000 when will people realize that we purposely gave up rebounding lmao
Houston was trying to get him when they traded Capella. Couldn't get it done so they went small
Ooooh, that’s a really good fit actually, he can spread the floor and play the 5 a bit
We not finna ignore the fact that Westbrook is humble af and not Hollywood. Dude said Westbrook was talkin to Tj Mconell and Doug McDermott
I mean they people and his peers none the less
He played with Doug.
DMCdaJUICE nah man idk who tf tj mconell is
What, the superstars are not supposed to talk to the role players? The NBA is a club. They all know each other. All of them have been elite since high school. A lot of them have been crossing paths since they were in middle school.
It shows how versatile his personality is
I swear I'm obsessed to this podcast. Absolutely amazing
JJ Redick is so great as an interviewer you forget that he is an NBA player...ACC Legend
@Aurelio Intermagio don't remember asking
@Aurelio Intermagio they're mad you corrected him, but it had to be done
except tommy needs to just leave
"You look at Russ now, it's kind've funny" had me dyin!!!
Kevin Love To The Rockets!
Shaun Brooks 😂😂
@Shaun Brooks nobody
No nigga
Kevin Love, We love you. You're such a good dude. Senegal, West Africa.
I admire your country man! Greetings from Greece
@@antoniss1997 Thanks Bro!
@@amadoumoustaphadieng8660 what’s your culture like?
RUSS
HARDEN
K.LOVE
that sounds good
Yeah
no defence
@@ydkchino9295 ur stick in 2018 harden has defense the past two years
Vitali Tsimoshchanka chill he is not a top 50 defender today
Harden
Love
Russ
Now that was better
That was one of the biggest missed opportunities for UCLA to get a chip. Had so many NBA level talent and two future all stars which were drafted into the NBA top5. Westbrook, Collison, Love, Luc Richard Mbah-Moute. Should’ve won it all.
I feel like love should go to Houston
He has a ridiculously bad contract no team would trade for him
Its not that bad. He's still an all star before he got hurt.
@@HHHPedigrees no one cares bout yo opinions Stephen lol 🤣🤣
I used to hoop at UCLA "Men's Gym" AKA "S.A.C." when i was in high school and use to see KLove, Artest, Terell Owens, all pros used to come down, that & the Wooden were the best places i ever hooped, PERIOD
That’s awesome
That's the spot. SAC and Collins.
They let anyone hoop there or you gotta have a name
@@dremo665 It depends who's playing and/or how serious it is. Pros would have a rule that you must be playing 1. professionally, 2. collegiately, or 3. over seas
Philmon Berhe if you used to play college would they be over you lol
Kevin love could be a big peice on a championship team. Loves for 3💜💛💜💛 that contract will be a problem but idk
Lakers fans always want more smh. U already have 2 of the top 7 players. Still not enough huh ?
Lakers fans want every star in the league. Chill tf out
put him on the rockets
@@philjasper7012 I swear they all think the same lmfao
Asks a question about russel:
*immediately takes a drink 💀
probably cuz he knows the situation with westbrook and how he hates the media in general. anything he says they´d copy and paste what he says and cut everything besides one line like they did KD. Mind you love and russ are friends and kd and russ are cool.
If only houston could afford it ;(
They can
@@MaJeSTiCz0 with harden and westbrooks contract?
inferax lol if they could afford it then they would have zero money to spend in the next offseason 😂
inferax Westbrook is on his last year
Eric Gordon and Covington would sum up a good amount to sign Love
Lmaoo JJ, TJ McConnell and Doug McDermott eating dinner together. What a surprise
Yeah I beat they just ate WHITE bread
They’re teammates, why wouldnt they?
@@Truedatas Redick and McDermott aren't teammates
Minorities not mixing 🤷🏿♂️
Then UCLA ran into Memphis who had the best player in college basketball Derrick Rose.
Then Derrick Rose choked and got a three splashed in his eye by Mario Chalmers.
Garrett Durham then murdered chalmers every game after that 🤷🏾♂️
BIGDAWG yup and then chalmers got 2 rings and DRose tore his knees up
@@garrettdurham8767 😂 goteem
Is Chalmers even in the league anymore 🤣
You and jeff green will be a dynamic duo
As a spurs fan, I quickly realized Westbrook was a problem. The spurs were up 2-0 in that 2012 WCF and OKC came roaring back winning 4 straight to advance to the finals. 10 years later and Russell has established himself as one of the all time greats. So much fun watching him play…(triple-double GOD)
Kevin love is perfect for the rockets
I’m glad you guys are doing clips because only all the smoke can have me sit down for 5 hours
Kevin Love has committed the biggest heist in Cleveland history
He's going to be a Rocket
Cant. His contract is nuts
he trying to Bring Westbrook as main player in cleveland!!!
Joey Thompson they can still get him with Covington and gordon and 2021 they will have some money to sign free agents but 2020 they will be broke
Shaun Brooks 🤡🤡 with Covington and gordon they can get him but they really can’t sign anyone for the 2020 offseason 🤡
Come to Houston! We would love you here! Big 3
People don't take open runs seriously, especially draftniks but there is a reason Troy Weaver fought hard for Russell in the war room. He knew how good Russell was in an open court style game. Even at UCLA, he really wasn't that good offensively. He was more known for defense back then.
Wish he would go to the Raptors or Washington
He can really go anywhere and succeed. Hes still got juice!
I would love k love on the rockets it makes so much sense
Can we talk about KLove on the Rockets 🚀
That would be nasty!
Only problem is his defense
average individual defender, phenomenal team defender. Perfect fit for the rockets.
I enjoyed this.
love to houston and make him pf plz he's a stretch 4 it'll still work as smallball
Goatbrook
GOOOOOAT 🐐
Nice concept I love the whole discussions
The channel is sweet JJ, keep up the great work!
Who here after yesterday 😭😂
Heartbreaking airball bro 😤
He is really a special one. A dpecial statsplayer.
K Love, Westbrook, Harden 👀👀
I love this podcast
Great story!
yhea todar he had the best game for OKC in years
We would love him at rockets
Love to Houston.
JJ the best NBA insider host.
He's from Lake Oswego not Portland Oregon that's why he couldn't dress. Let's clear that up
Damnnn would love to see video of that run!
Love love
Yes, I'm late! Such a Russell Westbrook True Fan and with all of the changes since OKC, I've been really monitoring his game even more. My first ever playoffs game was in OKC with KD and Russ 🏀🧡. Just watched the '08 NBA Draft and discovered they were teammates. Russell is special and I hope he gets a championship before he retires, one would be great but if the universe squeezes in more, somehow, that'd be fantastic 💯🏆 He's one of my favorite NBA players and I wish him nothing but continued success 🏀🖤🧡🏀 @drjeanco
I swear everybody in the NBA on a wine wave🤣
Join houston my man
Who here after game 2 rockets vs lakers? Tbh i get the feeling russ is being seen as the biggest threat to the la series because lebron is shame blocking him like he almost never does. Feels almost personal. Or he needs to get him out of his game. Russ is explosive af and practicly unstoppable if he gets in his rythm. So i agree with love.
Kevin love is really down to earth man and love that he is not afraid to acknowledge other talent then himself.
“You were roommates with Russ”
Kevin Love: sips wine 🍷
You Ernest a new sub 🙏🏾
Love to the Rockets!
Love Westbrook, sad to see him being scapegoated in Los Angeles when anyone with even half a brain should have known to aging ball dominant players who cant shoot or play defense wouldn't work on the same team in 2022....
His peak was incredible. He was literally willing horrible OKC teams to the playoffs after Durant left.... Fans are so fickle they will complain players dont try every night, they rest, they dont bring it but then when Westbrook was giving 110% and averaging a triple double something that hadn't been done in 60 years: "He's stat padding." lmao getting a rebound isnt stat padding, its something thats integral to winning at the highest level.
Houston is the best fit for K Love out of any team in the league. That team is literally built to have a guy like him.
Special Kid yes,
russ is a BEAST
lol at JJ saying he was having dinner with Doug and Tj
Lol is Kevin love talking about the same russ?? That wine got him leaning
Based on the title this video could have went two ways
Kevin Love was a great player in his Minnesota days I hated to see him play with LeBron and Kyrie because he turned into Chris Bosh when he joined the Heat and Bosh was nasty in Toronto before going to Miami it's like they Lost that hunger...
Totally agree. Both Kev and Chris played with hunger on their teams before joining superteams. Its like they lost their drive since they had enough superpower on their teams.
@@Macabre124 Chris played better tho
Kevin explained it, he said he realized That Lebron and Kyrie were just too good and he had to change the way he played completely if they wanted to win
I think Love’s game was more a victim rise of the 3-PT era rather than just playing with LeBron and Kyrie
Sherwood Mark he’s playing on the 13th seeded Cavs now and still having trouble. I think he has to join the Celtics or Rockets and he’ll be back to being an All Star.
Please come to Houston, we are too small :")
You need evolve your game like Russell Westbrook.
He did evolve his game lol the man fits perfectly with GSW, Houston, Milwaukee, and a bunch of other contending teams. Even Portland. He's just getting paid way too much for the role he's perfect for.
I can tell you Kevin Love evolved his game to a more dramatic degree than Russell Westbrook.
Dang that wine looks good
Kevin love def needs to be on the rockets perfect fit
Damn Russ reminds me of Vegeta. They think they know what their doing, always cocky and smack talking when facing opponents but in person they are cool. Ik it’s a weird comparison
Lol so true.
Russ aint cocky but hes like loud about it
I really hope ge kome to Houston
He's so special he commits 4 TOs in a row in the clutch.
Everyone in basketball period respects Russ. You rarely see someone with so much talent and athleticism literally give 150 percent night in and night out.
He plays for his stats he has 0 IQ drose Steve Francis baron Davis were all PG catching bodies and dunking on cats especially drose this man has done nothing but lose in 1st round 3 straight yrs he damn near ruined the last few years melo has ( by the way melo is a top 20 score all time) every player who leaves Russ does 10 times better b real what has he done average a triple double??? He boxes out teammates still rebounds hell sometimes his teammates let him get the ball his basketball IQ is horrible he purely survived in the league because he is athletic but once that's gone it's over for him old PG with no IQ is like a 70 working with all millennials they not go make it peace brother
@@frankpoleski5423 😂 u do know every player whos ever played the game atat padded i will never diminsh a guy who isnt poopin with ppl averaging a trippe double 3x in a row at 6ft3 200lbs .
@@letstalk140 every player stat padds? I think most players play to win the game. That's why ppl like ben Wallace averaged 30 30 30 a game or how about when or IVERSON use to grab 15 rebounds a game because his big man were weak or didn't want that rebound bad enough you right I'm sure if everyone could they would grab 15 rebounds a game than try to win 2nd yeah my bad every NBA player stat padds no one gets stats organically you right
@@frankpoleski5423 u also said he hasnt done nothing and ruined melo . Melo was washed up and a role player
Love as a stretch 4 in houston would be dope... Westbrook, harden, gordon , love , pj tucker ..... 2nd round exit....
😂
Russ will go down as one of greatest ever
@wht up Ez top 30, could even go down as top 20
Top 10 if he wins a couple of championships
wht up hes definitely better than scottie
@wht up ye
Westbrook. Tha( Ruler)
Kevin love Cool 😎 ash 😂
Come to Houston k love
i’ve always imagined KLove being in a Blazers jersey since LeBron left. Not a fan of them but would be cool to see
He a be nice on the Mavs too .
K Love to Rockets 🎸
Kevin Love at centre for the rockets would be nice.
Hes not better at defense then pj tucker but he a better rebounder
micheal olusanya he doesn’t have to be better at defense. He’s 6’10 and a way better rebounder. I’d waive Tucker and sign Love if I was Morey. I’d also trade Gordon for picks to free up cap space.
Houston should sign love in the off season
Special at turning the ball over
Wow, cool atory
Him and KD need to eventually go back to OKC..
kevin love realized he was special in the ucla showers
this mans basketball IQ is tremendous jeez
When he asked what 4+4 was and russel said.... “21”
Lmao I like how this was posted the day that Westbrook choked game 6 😭
kevin realizing Russ is a NBA player that needs special Ed
Love should actually join golden state
Yep
Come on man~~
Haha. Days later he helped OKC win game 6. Kevin Love. Sheesh
Love should come to the Lakers
When is he going to realize my greatest?
isnt he perfect for the rockets?
Yo love go join him
Russ is a misunderstood man
Whos the guy next to klove
Come to Miami b
Cleveland good place for Westbrook style, he trying to bring em to ohio!
Westbrook wouldn’t dare nobody wants to be in Cleveland
I believe russ in the park would be the best against anyone
