Westbrook responds to "statpadding" criticism: "if it was so easy, everybody would be doing it"

[EBK String]

so you know how talented you have to be to pad stats in the NBA? it doesn't matter how bad you want a triple double if you don't have the skill it's not going to happen.

Ask yourself this question. Same thing I say to shut down any Russ hater. Does he play harder than anyone else in the nba? Does he give you your moneys worth? If the answers are yes I don’t wanna hear nothin

Playing hard should involve playing smart and Russell doesn't play smart, so fukk that.

 

[Jermio]

The concept of stat padding is one of the most dismissive, and haterish in sports.

The hell is stat padding even in the context of a game where everybody's goal is to look as good as possible

Like Russ said, if anybody else could do it, they would. They just can't. They don't have his skill set and aggressive approach to the game.

What does that shyt mean? Bron couldn't average a triple double for a season if he went full retard and made that his goal? I don't even like Bron, but he doesn't have dumbass priorities like Russell does. How about Westbrook focuses on winning, instead of being Chris Brown on meth on the court.

I think most NBA starters could avg a triple-double if their entire team was down for the cause like the Thunder is for WB.

Exactly. Any leader of the team (Lebron comes to mind) can force his teammates not to go for rebounds so he can get them all. To try to say it isn't stat padding when he punks his teammates into not going for rebounds is disingenuous.

Smart enough to win mvp

 

[LurkMoar]

they win when he gets triple doubles


why cant the rest of these nikkas stat pad then?

 

[42 Monks]

breh....

you obviously dont know what logic means....do you?

if winning was so hard everyone would do it

 

[Hardaway]

they win more when he gets triple doubles but maybe he tries harder to get them when they're likely to win

like in a close game he wouldn't go all out tryna get that 8th, 9th, 10th rebound but if they're up 20 he can

Did you see the nuggets game this year. Buddy fell asleep because he was thinking about that 10 rebound to get a triple double on a miss tip and Gary Harris hit the game winner.

facts.

 

[Damnshow]

This man is insane, hes making triple doubles look like its nothing, two seasons in a row, breh one of the most gifted athletes ever, and that work ethic is something else too.

 

[Surreal]

Nothing will top Durant and Curry at him when he was tryna get that Triple Dub and Adams passed up the shot

 

[Damnshow]

that freebounds shyt is terrible man. no way to spin that. But if his teammates wanna box out and push nikkaz out the way for him to get his rebounds, then
