Y’all getting to emotional. Russ WAS a great player and IS a top 75 player of all time.

however, Russ is FINISHED and might be out of the NBA when his contract is over
Yup, that's how The Coli is though. If they don't like a player, they take a week's worth of (exaggerated) bad play to then try to invalidate the player's whole career. They've been doing the same thing with Dame recently. Over the full course of the season, Russ, and the Lakers overall, will be fine.

He’s kinda like a Ron Artest type player mentality wise. You gotta take the good with the bad/crazy

He’ll lose you a game as quick as he’ll win you one

Russ is actually an overachiever, like a couple posters eluded to he's all effort with very little skill, but if you ever watched his UCLA days this isn't surprising although I thought he would be twice the defensive player he is....

prime wade is pretty much a controlled and self aware version of westbrook
westbrook is just as talented as wade, wade is just smarter


:mjlol:NO HES NOT.

RUSS IS THE LEAST SKILLED SUPERSTAR GUARD WEVE EVER SEEN.

WHAT ARE THESE TALENTS RUSS HAVE
OTHER THAN A HIGH MOTOR
AND ATHLETICISM?

MEDIOCRE HANDLE
MEDIOCRE CHANGE OF DIRECTION
MEDIOCRE POST GAME
NO FLOATER GAME
WOAT JUMP SHOOTER
:devil:
:evil:

When was he a good shooter?

look closer at his last season

it was on the same track. He just did it with a bad team.


Russ used to have a great mid range game .... not talking about clutch iso plays in the 4th


his pull up game was great for awhile and right around him leaving OKC it completely fell off, maybe after the last knee injury
he started posting more and using glass too and doing that rock the baby shyt hilariously right when he became more inconsistent

nikka had it easy because Russ took all the criticism. Even when KD bricked and had turnovers in crunch time

And yet only one of them was called "Mr. Unreliable" in the newspaper.....

No one has it easy playing with Westbrook. Swap Westbrook with Lillard, Kyrie or Curry and they likely win.

In terms of not taking criticism in OKC, I don't think any of that matters since KD has taken 200x the criticism in GSW/BK than he ever did in OKC, and yet he still performs at an elite level all the same.

We all know He has the lowest iq of any nba star in history but the fact that He continues to jack up
shots when He's one of the worst shooters in the league has to be over confident or delusional at this point:why:

All he has to do is play to his strength i.e driving to the basket,finishing at the rim and playmaking.
You don't see steph curry post-upping in the paint or celtics rondo spaming 3's, just stick to your strengths and minimize your weakness. I'm sure all the nba coaches he's played under would have pointed this out to him but He's just to damn stubborn and brainless
I got to bolded and said damn he sabota-oh shyt!! :russ::russ::russ: I get it now lol. But bruh up there putting on lotion in post game ints after going 1/13

I think it’s funny how Westbrook doesn’t exist until he has a subpar game lol
