Only superstar that tries his hardest to put on a show for the fans every night. Through all the hate and drama westbrook still plays with hustle passion and energy. I will be sad when he retires
All things considered, Westbrook has kept up with his body well. The only players I can think of that are at this elite level of quick twitch/explosiveness are Westbrook, Ja Morant and Derrick Rose. We all know what happened to Rose, Morant is still young but I squint everytime he gets airbourne. We aint got old Westbrook anymore but he did an excellent job playing with his entire body and is still a compliment to Clippers at this time.
Russ's is built like an NFL player tbh. He could theoretically play Safety, Wide receiver or defensive back. He can cover a lot of ground and difficult to defend due to size, strength and speed. I can't say the same thing with Rose or Ja. Russ may not be the best basketball player but he is one of the best athletes in Guard position for sure
Now i understand why Westbrook has such a loyal fanbase that love him even despite his lack of playoff success. His energy is just off the charts and he's so likable even if he has some serious flaws come playoff time
He DID have playoff success. He average 27 7 8 in the NBA FINALS at 23 years old against a desperate Miami team. Lastly, KD did Russ dirty. He was powering those OKC teams. Ironically, if KD stayed in OKC, he would probably have the same amount of championships (2), in all actuality, both their legacies would be better.
My favorite player all time.. He always makes you smile with his energy and sometimes his embarrassing basketball sequences. But he is true to himself and he always does everything he can. He makes his teammates better and he plays with everyone. If we can criticize some of his decisions, we must see what he brings like the magnificent season in Washington. 36 years old he could be aigain a stater in a lot off teams it's crazy.
Un jugador realmente irrepetible,eléctrizante magnético y sobre todo explosivo,aún recuerdo sus costa a costa acabando en mate,y sus salidas indefendibles desde el triple hasta el aro sin dar ni tiempo al pivot rival a defender el mate en la cara impotente...simplemente un hall of fame!!
Russell Westbrook is an excellent player love his defense and how he attacks the basket last couple years people been dissing him but he can play the game with anybody.
Man 2012-2019 was peak Westbrook. It was really cool to watch. He was still good on the Wizards but injury and recovery and knee surgeries made him a little more preserved so he wasn’t using his athleticism to crash out as much but was still playing well and getting tripple doubles. The Lakers in 2021 was the begging of the end. It’s cool to still see him get some good games in and play well, but with much love he just isn’t the same player anymore. The most common thing in this video is the look of defeat or casual trying to get to the next play because they knew they weren’t physically capable of stopping him and he was willing the ball into the basket at times. He doesn’t have that anymore it was a cool thing to see.
Him doing all this stuff back then and hitting threes is pure talent. It’s just a shame all those plays took a toll on his body and now it’s hard for him to play like that today. Grateful for the memories
Rose dunks used to be insanely athletic! But Westbrook dunks on the Thunder are just that. He used to dunk with so much power for a guard you’d be looking at him like “wtf is he on😰”
I used to not really like Russ but I've come to appreciate and respect him over the past few years. Especially now after he re-invented himself on the Clips and showed that he's far from a 1 dimensional "score first and foremost" type of player. Dude has always played hard, always hustles, and now he's shown that he's adaptable and can fit into an overall team structure as a guy who can bring a massive spark of energy off the bench and focus on rebounding/defense/setting teammates up. He's still Russ though, and he will absolutely drop monster dunks on your head if you underestimate him
He was on par with KD at one time and arguably surpassed him at one point. KD's play style is a lot more sustainable as it relies in his shooting ability.
Definitely. Westbrook averaged a triple double over the entire season the year after KD left (if I remember correctly). Oscar Robertson is the only other player in NBA-history to do that and he did it like a thousand years ago.
Russel Westbrooks, comes to play for the Brazilian team at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games since Embid, who is from Cameroon, preferred to play for the American Team
Westbrook may have been an incomplete player in some respects but his sheer passion, energy level, and durability made him and his team electric. That's one reason people loved Jordan, his intensity was always at 100%. If we had more guys like Westbrook the regular season would be way more exciting than it often is.
If only he had a jump shot, OKC would have a couple of titles already. But he over relied on his athleticism and never prepared for the day his legs give up. He's part of the reason why Spurs won in 2014.
One observation is that Westbrook got a lot of easy dunks down the middle. In the 90s youd have Shaq, Ewing, Hakeem, Mutombo, Mourning, Davis brothers, Smits, and Muaresan, setting up camp under the basket. He wouldnt be doing what he is doing in these videos.
I don’t understand the Westbrook/DRose comparisons. Obviously their builds and athleticism are similar but Westbrook played with more passion than anyone and drose was known for being pretty dry and emotionless.
Prime Westbrook or Prime Kawhi ?
I had Russ before, but changed my mind to Kawhi.
I guess you will have to put out a video of prime Kawhi to put that to the test.
Man that's tough. Kawhi showed more though he can't average a triple double for a season
It is Easy Kawhi
Put out prime kawhi video and we will decide who better
Shout out to goldenhoops remind these people who Russell Westbrook was/is
🔥🔥
Still is though my boys jumper always been the same 😅
Athleticism,Aggression,and Passion
😤
Only superstar that tries his hardest to put on a show for the fans every night. Through all the hate and drama westbrook still plays with hustle passion and energy. I will be sad when he retires
I used to love when he would mock the moves after he did them as a celebration (shamgod, euro) 😭😭
I do the euro when my daughters do it in a game😅😅😅😅😅
If Russell Westbrook just had a jumper, he would be in the top 10 best players of all time in my opinion
He had one. That bunny hop jumper used to be automatic.
In my opinion, he is in the top 20
Respectable opinion
S
Plz stop that if things

@@jadenArmstrong750 Russ as a safety would be NASTY... he does remind of Brian Dawkins
Edwards as well in a way
@@pogstruestory2432 Weapon X was a beast, probably my favorite player of all time
@@jadenArmstrong750 honestly a top 5 athlete in the nba for sure
5:59 is one of the greatest passes ive ever seen just beautiful
it was a fluke tho
Just like yo mama not swallowing 😂@JayMoto-fg8sn
Wait till you see Jason Kidd's
@@johnyusuff7973he didn’t say greatest he said one of the greatest
He got extremely lucky on that one. That is a decision that is so bad, it works out lol
Westbrook energy,speed,explosiveness in court is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Most passionate player of this era. Never giving up even for a minute. My favorite player all time
Most explosive guard ever!!!
That would be Derrick Rose
@@straightlead8nah Russ was more explosive in his prime. But Drose was an absolute force
Allen Iverson, Derek Rose, Steve Francis all come to mind
@@straightlead8 no it wouldn’t it’s Russ and it’s not even close rose had 2-3 good years in his career
@@Boseman7emphasis on Allen Iverson
One of the most fun to watch

1:23 Man just FLOATING on that dunk 💪🏻🚀
For someone who was not a good consistent shooter, he sure did made many clutch game winning shots.
#BeastBrook 💪 🔥
when prime russ was on a streak there was no one better on the court
I’m big fan russell 🔥🔥🔥
Ima Kd fan but this man is the reason OKC is relevant

His one hand sham guard is just crazy to watch as his agility is on another level

Him and charles barkley are my fav players of all time
My favorite point guard of all time despite the statistics

This had to be a tribute to me …Russ the GOAT
Russ is sensational❤
My goat ♥️♥️
Thank you maaaan.
Here big Russ.
I would give anything to go back and watch a prime Westbrook home game live
yall have no idea how much i miss this man
Gonna be a sad day when he retires. Brought so much joy to OKC.
1:32 is one of the greatest plays ever made
I am a fan of Golden Hoops
ofc that sick ass pass in toronto was done on corey joseph. coming from a warriors fan hes buns
gave 100% every time he touched the basketball
Atleast he got his getback on rudy
Amazing 🤩
Best UA-camr ever! 👑🏆
I’m not a huge bball fan or anything but Westbrook to me is what D-Rose was and would’ve been without the injury
Video start with Westbrook dunking on Kobe is crazy
An angry ninja turtle on steroids. 😆 Thank you Brodie for always giving everything you got
2:07 nasty double dribble lol
I’ll be telling my grandchildren about his mvp season
9:42 "all five hands touching the ball"
He was on par with KD at one time and arguably surpassed him at one point. KD's play style is a lot more sustainable as it relies in his shooting ability.

He is my goat
Great Video Golden Hoops....MAVS in 5!
1:13 Defense with my back😂
Struggle at His shooting But Scores 30ppg At his Prime , Pg that can Putback , dunk in traffic ❤🔥
Russel Westbrooks, comes to play for the Brazilian team at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games since Embid, who is from Cameroon, preferred to play for the American Team
Lightning ⚡️ quick
I swear if you showed anybody this out of context, they'd think he's the best player of all time
The rim is CRYING!
Top 5 greatest pg of all time
My goat ong
he is good and trying to be good despite aging.
"He Was.... Special"
Kids today will never know...
Bro could have been an elite volleyball player
i love westbrook coz he play angry like kobe 💪🤫
Hey can I use these highlights?
For my vid
It’s an edit
It's crazy how short lived Westbrooks prime was, especially considering what LeBron is currently doing.
Ajajaja “the rim is crying”
I swear Russ had a personal vendetta against the hoop when he slammed
My love 🔥
He was so athletic that he was a top 10 basketball player at one point without really knowing how to play basketball or understand basic strategy
Top 5 PG of al time
Westbrook may have been an incomplete player in some respects but his sheer passion, energy level, and durability made him and his team electric. That's one reason people loved Jordan, his intensity was always at 100%. If we had more guys like Westbrook the regular season would be way more exciting than it often is.
A video idea could be LeBron James best finals dunks or LeBron James clutches finals moments/decisions
Looking forward to see what Russ can do with the Nuggets!
Russell West

这些人跟不上他的速度，很多扣篮都是转换进攻。阵地战打挡拆，除非完全放空，只要出内线，就是被一步过掉。

Mr triple double
I don’t understand the Westbrook/DRose comparisons. Obviously their builds and athleticism are similar but Westbrook played with more passion than anyone and drose was known for being pretty dry and emotionless.
Kobe being in the thumbnail is beyond unnecessary
😂😂 Like why
I think he just cared more about his stats than winning.
most triple doubles ever....
Come to Denver man
Is there any other point gaurd that takes ball baseline to baseline in 4 seconds for slam? This guy been in lane by himself since day 1
