Jamal Crawford explains how Westbrook is viewed differently between players and "stat guys"

[10bandz]

You two clowns do understand that what happened in your high school is not how you quantify what is going on in the rest of the country??

breh even today the majority of the NBA viewers are minorities and almost 50% black. You can't say that about any other sport. nikkas really fukk with this NBA shyt. You got cacs who can ball and really love it but for the most part the uber analytic shyt is the only way cacs can contribute to the game. Without it they'd have no place. And it makes sense cuz you have certain players like a RW, or Kobe, or AI who's viewed one way by the media and such a drastically different way by the actual players.

the nba is the only sport where the majority of TV viewers aren't white. Period

The same thing applies to you fukk face. You’re one person whose OPINION is no more valid than anyone else’s. Y’all dummies stay trying to retroactively apply what’s going on today twenty years in the past. Early 2000s NBA was straight hip hop. The culture was braids, durags, tattoos, baggy clothes, street style crossovers and AND1 mixtapes. Players rapping and being in music videos every other week. Why you think David Stern tried to change the culture of the NBA dummy? He would’ve had no reason to change anything if nothing was wrong. These white kids were not fukking with it. Half of them were skating and doing ollies after school. GTFO my face nikka

He's had more playoff success than most players in the league including CP3. And his career shooting splits aren't too dissimilar to the man in your avi. Regardless, even if he isn't an elite shooter, he's still one of the best playmakers in league history.

He had playoff success with KD and none with Paul George. His shooting numbers in the postseason have been terrible since KD left.

His playoff averages are essentially the same

His shooting numbers definitely are not.

It's funny cause Jamal was another one of those guys that NBA players had crazy respect for while the analytics community killed him.

That's something he has in common with Kawhi

 

[L@CaT]

The lack of physicality in today’s game is why Russell can do what he does. He wouldn’t be averaging a Triple Double in the 90’s or the early 2000’s.

Kawhi won a playoff series with him.

41 is so much lower than 44. Steph Curry is a 48% regular season shooter buta 45 percent playoff shooter.............

Stat Paddington

but real talk what kills Russel from being next level is literally his lack of a consistent mid range and being a solid 3pt shooter.. funny because his early years in OKC his mid range was straight wet but he wasn’t hitting those trip dubs.. once he lost confidence in his jumpshot he focused on other aspects like rebounding and play making..

jamal crawford talks so eloquently why isn't he on my tv calling games


And he speaks the truth, 50 years from now dudes will be looking at westbrook stats like

But coli gon coli and call him a cancer

cacs with all these stats that i don't give a damn about but his per says and his usg says and his warp and all that other pencil geek poindexter ish

nikka cuz we actually watched the games and saw wat went down wtf

we can celebrate Westbrook’s statistic accomplishments and still acknowledge he was a factor in his teams lack of success

 

[KillerB88]

Kawhi won a playoff series with him.

Only to still lose in embarrassing fashion.

41 is so much lower than 44. Steph Curry is a 48% regular season shooter buta 45 percent playoff shooter.............

Sub-.40% in four different postseasons including his last three in OKC.

 

[wtfyomom]

westbrook only hated in this era of judging individuals in a team sport by titles. also im not accusing oscar robertson but nobody saw him play like that., i dont care if you saw a few old ass clips you didnt watch him like you watch russ now, i know you can see games where some of his rebounds or assists seem cheap but how the fukk you know oscar or whoever wasnt doing that too? plus we taking into account how many 5 foot white guys oscar was playing against while getting those triple doubles ? im sorry but the idea someone gets the most ever but its not real because of some personal beef these cac journalists got with russ cause he dont fit into their sterotype of what a good player should be is bullshyt
