But that’s what he was doing tho… he was dishing it out.. he threw Jab back

Exactly. He showboated his whole career. Now he's crying 😢. Russ almost as soft as Ben simmons

Man was going at Durant with cupcake jabs.

Facts💯

Thank you! Keep the same energy

That’s a good point. Great point actually.

exactly he's not only a bad defender he's one of the worst defenders at his position in the league. he puts 0 effort on defense. he does put effort into getting rebounds though lmao

FACTS!!! He never played D

That’s true but this team really doesn’t fit Westbrook play style and it’s clear he can’t adapt to different systems imo Westbrook should’ve stayed with the Wizards

Worst part is he NEVER played D his whole career

His level of play is proof the constant scrutiny is getting to him even if he says otherwise. He's been nervous since he got to LA he cares too much. He needs to pretend he's anywhere else and shut the noise out and he'll loosen back up.

He doesn’t even play hard on both ends. That’s the thing. Bro will try and bulldoze his way thru the paint on offense and if he doesn’t get a foul or the bucket, he walks back on defense like it’s his team’s fault

Exactly westbrick is trash and he needs to retrie

💯

Facts I’ve been saying this all season

the majority of the league doesn't play defense

You are SO right!! People need to stop saying that about him!! Just because you are passionate in your body language when you score, it doesn’t mean you give 💯 all the time…especially when you miss!

@@hught6885 so no one is suppose to miss

I’m a laker fan… I disagree with Steven A. I think it’s funny, not classless.

@@ReynHornwood thank you, I also used to be a big lakers fan until I realized I was more of a kobe fan then only lakers. But I agree it was funny and new. Haven't seen that kind of trash talk ever lol not like they were out there cussing and being personal or anything it was all about the game they were playing at that time and that's it

Definitely was hilarious 🤣 ppl so soft these days

That just shows how sad the twolves franchise has been

Man idc if it was curry, Jordan or lebron …. If you air ball a open corner shot I’m doing the same thing💀🤦🏽‍♂️

Exactly, Russ was literally the same dude that was rocking the baby and was clowning Bev for years. Not saying he was wrong for trash talking but he’s earned it

@@jay_1212 you forgot Bev got him injured and missed the playoffs? and then almost did the same exact move a year later?

Yea but not from kat though, I agree with stephen a he hasn't done anything in the league to be piling on russ

@@hueyfreeman5509 he just whooped his lakers though lol so what’s your point ?

Absolutely

That's a lot of cheating 😂

Facts

I just don’t get it though, I understand the Lakers was never going to work but dayum. Not even averaging 20 points per game? Especially with AD out.

It’s crazy how a previous MVP can be terrible at basketball. Also, I don’t think you know it actually means when they say “he doesn’t cheat the game.”

He used to not close out so he can grab rebounds & now he doesn't even do that anymore😂

Not to mention SAS is the same dude who posts 10 minute TikTok videos mocking the Cowboys and their fans after every loss and the next day spends 75% oh his show's timeslot doing the same.

So does Lbj, & he (Lbj) hasn’t given consistent effort since 2013.

You don't watch the games. Tuning in to laugh at the Lakers this season doesn't count. This isn't Westbrook's only season. Miserable casual fans like you truly ruin the online NBA community

@@JeromeLPitts what does this have to do with lebron lol Yoo I swear to god on literally every nba video there is a comment about lebron even if he has nothing to do with the video lol by far the most popular player I’ve ever seen lol video could be about the nba draft lol and a lebron comment will come in

@@multiplesourcesofincome7037 omg Kobe would’ve crucified him lol

@@KDRusha no Kobe wouldn't. Not with Westbrook. That's what LeBron do. He and his fan base are the people who throw blame on everyone else

My thing is did they taunt Avery Bradley or wenyen Gabriel after their airballs?

He ranned off on the plug 4 times smfh

When they he plays hard, they clearly don’t watch him on defence. They only say he plays hard because apparently leaving your assignment on the perimeter to chase a rebound is hustle

@@shin267 Word because for all that physical ability he has NEVER made a all defense team and that speaks volumes about his effort

He didn’t finess us. He’s just older and struggling. I don’t wanna see short term memory and his whole career being forgotten cos of this one season.

Clearly, he didn’t. Something is wrong. We may not know what it is, but something is going on. Dude has been a killer for years! Y’all on something

Yes he has Ben bad all year but I would love for people to talk abt lobron bad body language he put this team together he has bad body language all year he's man his man blows by him and he throws his hands up and walk off the court and don't even get back on defense in the middle of the game if you're the team captain you don't do that he want the Lakers to blow it up one more year I wouldn't do it he wanted Anthony Davis and AD is always hurt he wanted Westbrook we already knew he couldn't shoot he put this team together so why give the bad body language especially when you get beat on the play and walk off the court in the middle of the game

I agree man. As a Bronsexual he’s been tough to defend & losing his legacy

It’s Classless James don’t shake hands after they lose but when he wins he is all over the court shaking hands . Not even the rookies do that

If dude makes a layup down by 20 he'll "rock the baby". Westbrook gotta be able to take what he dishes

Westbrook trash talked after the game it's these mouths that keep making him seem soft

Russ doesn’t give any effort at all

Fr westbrick cheat the NBA by statpadding triple double for 4 years straight. He single handly devalue the triple double stat.

Ben Simmons can't shoot it must be a mental health issue. Russ can't shoot it must be because he's a fraud

Gianni's don't got no jumper like that

He also has never won anything and been on like 8 teams

@@georgebishop4627 this man is on his 3rd team in like 10 years. How tf you get 8?

@@youngrosie1 i guess he included teams outside of the nba

That’s what I’m saying. If he wasn’t rich god knows what he would’ve done 🤦🏽‍♂️

He signed the contract plus he taunts players all the time

You can't name me a high level player that doesn't get this kind of scrutiny at some point. The only reason he's getting this level of scrutiny now is because he's playing with LeBron and keeping the same lack of accountability for his bad play, like SA said Russ makes his image worse with the interviews he has. Bad press always comes with the game if you're supposed to be good and do poorly, then couple that with a terrible attitude just to make it worse.

Give me his check!!!!!! I would care less what ANYBODY says😂

Do you know how much this man gets paid? Google his current contract lol that man does not care

Lol watching him play defense itsa dam joke the man plays flat footed no effort

*All out with the ball. He’s a pylon 99% of the time without the ball.

Dude is one of the laziest players off ball though. People think he goes 100% because he'll mean mug you after an open layup lol

Finally someone said it. These analysts probably do not watch the actual games and just wait for the highlights so they can start taking notes for next day’s program. Russ does cheats the game by not playing it the right way. Being selfish, does not play D, does not rotate without the ball, steals the rebounds from the center instead of him running towards the other end of the floor for a fastbreak, arrogant towards reporters, does not practice to improve his shot. So many things there

he doesn’t even go all out. he has one of the worst iq’s offensively ever. he just runs super hard, tries to jump high and gets so many offensive fouls, playing like that isn’t playing hard it’s playing dumb. pat bev plays hard. chris paul and stephen curry play hard. russ doenst play hard he makes the game hard for himself with his lack of IQ

Where has pat bev ever LED his team? He's a role player talking stupid lmao

Rodman used to blow in peoples ears...its competitive. Throwing bows, flopping, I mean the list goes on. This is not pee wee sports.

Agreed he just isn’t ah good enough scorer for ah starting point guard in today’s league to win 1, plus his athleticism is declining. Effort and out hustling everybody can only take you so far.

and a huge paycut

doubt that, too much of an ego and passing a HUGE bag. Him coming off the bench would make westbrick the most expensive role player in the league for like ...ever

Contenders are looking for turnovers off the bench now? Wild…

That would be ideal, but I don’t think he needs, or should, come off the bench. Teams want a spark plug, someone who can score or maintain a lead so the starters can rest. His style is too reckless. If he works on his defense and lower his turnovers, he has potential to be a decent starter.

Its crazy because even when the lakers season is over sports media will still bring them up w multiple topics about whats next for lakers, lebron, Westbrook etc..

Wokecenter doesn’t care what the people want or need… straight 🗑🔥 daily
