sickening how much disrespect this guys gets. he had an off season this past year, but i refuse to believe he’s cooked. he can still be an All-Star caliber point guard. look at what he was doing in DC just the season before this last one. he’s one of the greatest to do it at the point guard position and just in general.

Russ is trash look at his MVP season game logs he had 7 10+ turnover games. He had games where he scored 50 but it took him 45+ shots (3 or 4 games like that). He even had 4+ quadruple doubles w/ turnovers. If you watch him in person or his actual games.. you’ll see how flawed he actually is. He’s an all star at most but gotta be extremely overrated because of the tripple double and his explosiveness. If you’re a team that values winning you will NEVER be able to win w/ that.
@cafelatte1124 Жыл бұрын
He's always had that play style where he can get his individual stats look nice on paper, but never lead to a significant wins. Also his rebounds are overrated as I can recall numerous times where he let his team box out other players for him to catch the rebound. Let alone that one famous clip where he grabs the rebound out of Steven Adams' hands, HIS OWN teammate.

Despite having numerous flaws Russ has still managed to put together a HOF resume and he'll go down as a top 50 player ever, a top 10 PG ever and one of the greatest athletes ever especially at the PG position. He's my all time favourite player and I hate it when people flat out disrespect him. You can criticize him but the amount of disrespect & hate he gets is insane.

Don't let the bad fit fool you, he's still an All-Star/All-NBA level point guard. Truly believe Darvin Ham will adapt his skillset into a championship level player for the Lakers this season.

I find it odd tho considering the point of the video that you didn’t include it seemed any highlights from his MVP season tho as he had SOOO many better highlights than these in that season alone, This vid is mainly his last few seasons in OKC with PG & Melo, Which is where he was still good, But slowly started to burn out a bit. I would have added more plays from his ‘14 to ‘17 years as that was peak Russ IMO

I think playing with the Lakers is a major factor in his fall off. He doesn't fit the team in any shape or form. He fit well with the Wizards because Beal is a great off ball player but playing with another ball dominant player, Lebron is definitely not a good position for Russ to thrive in.
