How come u can’t just show him the stats to prove it

@@Celtics2024WrldChamps nah then i show it but i love getting his reaction lol.

@@KrishNA-xy2fw But later he doesn’t check the final score, players stats himself?

I agree.

what is greatness about a 30-35 team

@@whitemagicsponge7190 bum

@@Joshsoreal 😅

10th seed in the east is greatness now lmao.

No joke, the only thing that keeps him from being arguably the best point guard of all time is his boneheaded plays at times

@@fricktard12345 true. Luckily he's cut down on those a lot.

@@fricktard12345 Idk man best pg of all time is a high bar. I think what's keeping him is lack of success in the playoffs. If he didn't make those dumb plays I agree he would be on the list but there are so many great point guards that are extremely skilled but also have the accolades, including steph, magic, thomas and many others.

Not a good shooter unfortunately

Can’t win

I literally believe that had something to do with it lol. Nobody more petty than Russ.

Dude dropped like 60/35/30 in two games

@Malik Kai name me 9 point guards better than Westbrook all time. Magic, Curry, Isiah, and who?

I've seen Scott Skiles get 30 assists back in 92 or 93, but he didn't have 21 rebounds on top of it. This is insane performance. My mistake, it was in 90 when he had the 30 assists against Denver.

@@GABRIELA-ACEVEDO. Skiles assists were great too, but a lot of them were to teammates who couldn't miss. Westbrook just dissects the defense, full court passes, dimes everywhere. I think he'll break the record.

@@thomassankara1391 also they had won by close to 40 points that game. Not to take anything away from 30 assists, but he was still playing when the game was way over.

@Malik Kai so stockon is not a top 10 pg?

What does "ball dominant" mean? He's a real point guard that has the ball in his hands to make plays lol. Like Magic and Steve Nash and stockton . "Ball dominant". So stupid. He's just doing the point guards job like Luka . He's not a glorified 2 guard like Steph and Kyrie that play off ball most of the time. He's a classic point guard.

@@JonathanEvans1977 it means he WANTS the ball in his hands. The offense runs through him most of the time. Of course most PGs are ball dominant, but some clearly more than others

@@JonathanEvans1977 but I know what you mean, it’s a dumb label that stat and analytic nerds came up with

@@nikobellic2515 oh it means THE TEAM wants the ball in his hands. For good reason. Of course he wants the ball in his hands hes the point guard and his coaches and teammates want him with the ball too.

he's the team's only playmaker and also a pointguard.... being the pointguard is already ball dominant position, being the playmaker requires your team system run through you... (much like lebron, draymond, or any playmaker that are not in the pg position) also needs to ball dominant per possession... two types of ball dominant.. first is that your team is losing while you're having great stats probably a contract year for free agency so he needs the numbers ... the second is that your team is winning if the ball is in your hand... losing when you are off the court... it means your team rely on you to get them going.... they running faster, attacking the basket stronger, shooting with confidence because they know that the ball will find them because their pointguard is a willing passer

Yet people still hate on him and call him a stat padder.

No no no thats not good, I like cows

You’re wild

Fist bump?

Other words love to stat padds

Ah I thought that said edp and that it was gonna say something else that he loves

You can be a stat padder and selfish by just looking for assists. Tonight he was clearly in an only assists mode. But still a great player of course. Such a beast.

He was during his thunder days

Well I'm at least glad u admitted why you had a change of heart about him in your comment. If he came to my favorite team I'm sure my opinion of him would improve. That in itself isn't evidence. He definitely did pad his stats an awful lot when he was on the thunder, but that doesn't mean he isn't a good player.

@Daniel Harper Yes.

@Daniel Harper It's not because they win that game that it is a good thing for his team. As he said, he doesn't care to win the championship... So yes he is a stat padder...

And Wall is only 40 games back from a torn achillies and had a hamstring strain, an ankle sprain, knee fluid and thigh contusion this year... The Rockets also had their desired starting lineup play together for...zero games? Due to Covid/injuries/Harden+Victor trades. Russ is 1,000,000 better healthy than Wall was injured. But don’t forget, Wall led the wizards to at least game 6 of the second round 3 times with zero all stars on his team, zero award winners at all. Many in the organization have said that this is the best team they have had ArOuNd their backcourt. Russ is a better individual talent than Wall...and I get you are just responding to the people from earlier this year...but it goes both ways. Russ looked terrible cuz he was hurt and was with a new team...Wall not only was coming back from 2 years away and with a new team...but as the season went along he got banged up more and more and the Rockets legit didn’t get any chance whatsoever to learn how to play best with each other. John Wall is the 2nd longest tenured Rocket and he got there 2 weeks before the season. Rookie head coach. Harden Sabotaging...like it’s crazy. Don’t do to Wall what people did to Russ earlier this year. Wall also has his own statistical records but they aren’t as round or simple as Russ’. For example, Wall led the wiz to a record 4 consecutive game 1 wins. Wall broke Jordans record for most consecutive 20P+ 7A+ playoff games. Wall only player ever with 27 p and 10 a average across multiple playoff series in the same year. Wall, Mj and Bron only players with 40+ and 8+ in a road victory game 6/7. Wall hit the only “miss and you home go” shot since Ray Allen. Wall owns the only 1800p 800a 150s 50b seaosn in nba history. Wall also holds the only 19.4 p 9.6a 1.4s 1.1b season in NbA history. Wall is 3rd all time in PG blocks and averages more per game than both #s 1 and 2. He was one of the fastest players ever to 10k and 5k dimes. And the best one, according to a 2019 espn study, Wall has won more with less help than any 5+ time all star in NBA history, grading “help” in terms of accolades for teammates and coaches and etc. Russ is the better player. It’s just too bad that everything Wall has ever done has basically been ignored. And then of course he is the scapegoat for all issues lol. Like seriously..have you heard anyone in the media or anywhere point out what the wizards were pre and post Wall?? Leads them to their 3 best seasons in 30 years and gets NO love for it lol? For some context, Chris Paul hadn’t been further in his career until joining Harden yet...Paul’s career was a great success! So many players..not MvP guys but like all-NBA guys, unless they were on mega teams they were never blamed for not making the playoffs or ever advancing...or if they had like one good playoff series it was enough...well it was never enough for Wall. It’s clear tho, the league and media was on his case the moment he entered the league. Apparently the league talked to the wizards a few times about the gang signs on the court. I have other info but basically I just think the media and nba don’t want to promote Wall and never did. That sounds silly to say now that he’s been down and out, but here’s a quick example: KD comes back from achillies, scored 22. Huge media all the next day! Wall comes back and scores 22/9/6 and then 28/6/4/3/2 in his first 2 games back after 730 days off, Rockets go 2-0 after starting 0-2 while he sat out. ZERO. And I mean legit ZERO National media coverage from the main shows. Zero. And when the Rockets won their first 6 games that Wall played post-Harden? lol the jump did a little segment about their winning streak. And I’m not even joking..they were showing highlights of every single player except Wall. Lol. I don’t give a fuck if you read this or not, it’s more of just a response in case anyone reads what you wrote, I always like to put some of the details out in the world instead of just generalized slander

@@schuylersavage276 I'm never reading that. Ever. But if its something to the point to where Wall is anywhere near close to Russ, I dont wanna hear it. Wall's best year was Russ' MVP year. The next 3 years after that we said Russ was on a "decline" and he was still better. Idk what your response said but if its Wall over Russ and any point in their career.... never lol.

Not gon lie I just said to myself I been trippin for how I been sleeping on Russ lately I’ve always liked em but I stopped watching him for a lil while..

When the fuck was he overrated???

Nope. Folks just haven't been paying attention. He's ALWAYS been this good

@@tugboat6940 Never it was just the trend to shit on Russ for having no rings. Like hes the only great player without em

@@tugboat6940 Dude's been on early exits, remember the series vs portland or vs jazz? Before this season he's one of the last guys you would want to take crucial shots but this year he's like the leader in fg% in clutch. A 1st rd matchup of them vs Nets would be interesting

Can't even get 20 boards in 2k even playing 12/qtr

@@charinashainesillano3030 Lol

Listen, Russ is great. No hate. But Steph has a legitimate argument for best point guard of all time, not just this generation. You can't call someone the greatest with nothing to show for it. Again, Russ is a hell of a player and a great point guard, but there are limits.

@@ronankelley7768 maybe greatest offensive point guard of all time but overall? Nah westbrook is a better all around player than steph

That's a fact and the fact that MJ said that, that's huge props for russ from the goat himself

👨‍🍳

Don’t forget Bradley Beal

First round exit 🤦🏾‍♂️ CANT win with Westbrook style of play

@@samyou5535 beal playstyle won't win a thing. Glad they got westbrook

They work well together. Russ doesn't have to hero ball because he knows he's not the primary scorer, while at the same time Beal knows that Russ is the primary ball handler. That is a key difference with previous seasons.

@@holden6104 well yeah Ball hasn’t had a co-star for the last two years before this. With wall, though, it was just as clear who was the pass first guy. Wall took less shots per game every single season of his career than Russ is this year. Brad just also didn’t take as many shots back then. The wizards played more of a team game overall but John and Brad were still the top scorers. Both Wall and Beal have said the reason why Brad signed to stay is cuz he wanted to play with Wall again. They never got a chance to play together in their primes. And when they did get a chance to play together with wall in his prime and Beal coming along? They were 1 or 2 wins( really a wall broken hand and a 44-5 bench deficit in game 7) from 3 conference finals. It’s just annoying that people act like Wall and Beal never did anything in DC. With their coaching and rosters they greatly exceeded the initial expectations on them. Also considering what they had to work with compared to the only teams that beat them in the playoffs( 4 #1 seeds). John and Brad were always nasty in the playoffs together. Legit the only time they lost series was becusdr they were playing better teams, not better duos. DC won 1 playoff series since 1982 before Wall. They haven’t made the playoffs yet since he’s been injured/traded. Looks like that streak is finally going to end at year 3, but still. It’s like when wall was healthy people ignored him and then somehow find a way to blame him for the wizards being terrible WITHOUT HiM!! Heck one of his most impressive years was 15/16 when Beal and everyone else missed like 30+ games and wall kept the wizards at .500.
