Where does Russell Westbrook go from here?

[RedBull]

You must be really young, people were criticizing Westbrook (sometimes unfairly so), years before he ever played with LeBron

Nah I’m

No one HATED Russ until Bron. He was only Young Sabo. He’s been hated since is stint with the Lakers. Coincidence? Nah.

YEA .. HE WAS CLOWNED FOR HIS RECKLESS PLAY

BUT THE GENUINE HATE AND IDEA THAT HE DIDNT BELONG IN THE LEAGUE WAS ONLY AFTER BRON

 

[murksiderock]

YEA BUT HE WAS STILL SEEN AS A STAR PRIOR TO LEBRON

AFTER THAT, IT WAS ALL DOWNHILL

TO THINK, HE ALMOST DIDNT MAKE A ROSTER THIS YEAR.. NUTS!

Two revisionist statements.

Westbrook made his last All-Star team in 2020 with Houston. He couldn't make the All-Star team in the "weak East" in 2021, whose fault was that? I remember that year, it would be true that he was seen as an aging, fading star, but emphasis on "aging" and "fading", he wasn't thought of as a current star, in that year, to even make the All-Star team in the lesser conference.

His star power from his HOF career between 2010 and 2020 are what drove the coverage of him in that Wizards year. His play was not exceptional.

To the extent he got "hated" because of his experience with Bron, how is that any differeng than the "hate" he got for "running KD outta OKC"?

People actually ran that narrative, that if he was a better teammate, a better player, Durant woulda stayed, and when Durant won his rings, people used that as an impetus to mock Westbrook as not being a winning player, he'd retire ringless, etc.

Yall not telling the entire truth.

Did the Lakers experience hurt his perception, maybe a little, but not more than him bricking shots off the side of the backboard and the alleged dissension he caused in the locker room. Let's also note, that the Bron experience was not the first time that it was alleged Westbrook didn't get along with a star teammate.

He almost didn't make a roster this year because he is no longer a plus player. And he's 37 years old. And he's in his 18th year. And he hasn't been really good on a good team in over a half-decade.

He was good last year in 6th man role for Denver, until he wasn't. He was good on the Clippers a few years back until he wasn't, they relied too heavily on him.

I'm a Westbrook fan, he can still be a positive contibutor to a good team as a 7th/8th man in rotation role. The problem is the good teams all have much younger guys they can give those minutes too, ain't no good team giving him more than 24 minutes/night anymore, and his play doesn't warrant that if you saw how he played down the stretch the last two years.

On a bad team like the Kings he can get the keys and ball to the best of his abilities, they fukking suck and can say that they got a HOFer to spen some time with them in his twilight.

He deserves to be on a roster, but like all of his other age peers, the end is nearing with him. He's not Chris Paul washed but he's also not at that level of Durant and Kawhi and Steph and Bron at this point, he can't give you that kinda production so you can't justify that investment if you're a real team unless he accepts a 7th or 8th man role (which he doesn't seem to wanna do, which is his right).

[MJ Truth]

I'll never understand how you can be a fan of the game of basketball and hate Russell Westbrook.
Miss me with that he makes bad decisions and he takes bad shots nonsense.

Those are good reasons lol.

STOP IT

WESTBROOK AVERAGED 22-12-12 IN WASHINGTON .. EVEN GOT MVP VOTES .. ONLY REASON HE DIDNT MAKE ALL-STAR WAS BECAUSE THE TEAM WAS TRASH AND HE MISSED A BUNCHA GAMES IN THE EARLY SEASON

THERES A REASON HE HATES LEBRON

 

[Shadow King]

Nah I’m

No one HATED Russ until Bron. He was only Young Sabo. He’s been hated since is stint with the Lakers. Coincidence? Nah.

[ReturnOfJudah]

Boxscore watchers loves Russ. People that watch the game know why they call him Sabo

 

[Bledswole]

My dawg was almost out the league and would've been on the couch with the ability to still get it done in the league,the older you get the more and more you see the NBA is SUPER POLITICAL

 

[The_Sheff]

Once i started seeing posts about how well Russ was playing this year I knew the team had to be terrible.

 

[duncanthetall]

Bron urged them to hate him. They followed like prostitutes.

nikka we were calling him Young Sabo aka Young Sabotage over a fukking decade ago, in the middle of his prime. The posts ain’t deleted. Yall kill me

Don’t die breh, get up and just read better.

You dudes read with emotion. Like I said in the post, we called him Young Sabo, but no one HATED him and said he didn’t belong in the league until his Lakers stint. Am I wrong? Prove it.
