He always say that 😂

He's not a complete player, does not have ( pure) point guard skills,and one of the reasons the thunder have failed in the past is because he has never learned to make plays that force defenders to play honestly and which enables the Thunder to get the most out of each possession, especially when the outcome of the game is on the line. No matter what he says, the Thunder have failed miserably since he's become their captain, and although losing Durant was a major blow to the team's chances for success, three straight opening-round playoff losses speaks for itself.

His just so arrogant and full of himself, in the way he talks and plays. Since copping slack for the way he cries during interviews, u can tell his making an enormous effort now. Otherwise he would of had a hissy fit with a lot of the questions that were asked. Russ is full of shit, as much he is a greedy ball-hog and overrated. OKC is regretting his 4year max contract, and Paul George is kicking himself for staying

When Durant,Westbrook and Harden were together I was a Bulls fan, thinking they'd meet in the finals. Harden was traded, Rose got hurt (and was traded by Chicago) and Durant knew he'd win in Golden State so he left. The league would have been a lot more competitive - and exciting- if these things hadn't happened, but they did. OKC is one of the biggest casualties. Westbrook isn't a genuine leader because he doesn't know how to adjust to the circumstances that have produced the changes around him,, which for a ten-year veteran is puzzling. It take a certain formula to win a title, and all he had to do to realize it was study the old San Antonio or even the Lakers teams which the Thunder eventually beat. They shared the ball, played solid defense, and when the game was on the line,made smart, unselfish decisions with the ball, not bail the defense out like Westbrook does. The ball is in his hands at the end of games , but he's failed too many times to justify it.

Yes at 31 years old

you should’ve gave up a long time ago... old man

RIP

The highest paid player in basketball and he needs to work on his shooting? Maybe he could have done that a little earlier.

There’s many ppl that became better shooters as career went on. Common for slashers to adapt and change with time

His shooting has declined, your never to old to practice shooting & its his shot selection he needs to improve.

hyeboi did you see d rose this season dumbass ?

iZiear this man said his shooting has declined 🤣

The Wallstar whats that have to do with what he said

Real Deal true but you know it’s basketball

but thats the man you look up says alot a bout your character

Kyle Patillo who says we look up to him it’s sports your suppose to be competitive and they just lost in the playoffs. You want him to be happy or something.

And still you support this nigga? Wake up

Der blinde Sánchez Agreed. It’s a lot of arrogance that I notice professional athletes try to disguise as some type of humility. I don’t understand how that really works as those words seem rather contradictory so maybe I’m just confused on the phrasing but it’s really unfortunate Russ is seemingly unwilling to change regardless. Maybe even unaware that changes should be made in order to win after getting embarrassed by Ricky Rubio and a rookie Donovan Mitchell. It really shows when a lot of people expected the 6 seed thunder to handle to blazers but Dame Lillard has shown vast improvements. He had a similar embarrassing playoff loss to the Pelicans but came back and made it a point to be better at splitting those aggressive traps up top and even launching from 30+ before the defense can swarm him. Russ has been the same old Russ on the other hand and hasn’t shown much of any improvements since a similar low point in the playoffs

Chewing a gum with an half open mouth

No. Once again delusional and insecure and disrespectful. Notice the only times he actually gave long winded answers were when he talked about all the critical comments that he never listens to.

Only a certain few can pull off arrogance while they’re losing

Arrogance never works

And he's constantly winning .....

Lmfao

This nigga does not know manner

He's probably faking it.. I'm still sour about this season and I'm just a guy on a couch, no way someone who actually played in those games would just be chill and not care. This will haunt him for a long time.

Greg Horton dude stfu you sound dumb saying this without this man being here okc would’ve been a lottery team he literally carried tf out of okc to the playoffs in 2017 you obviously didn’t listen to the full interview damn Jordan was getting bounced out of the 1st round 3 years straight as well until the bulls got Scottie pippen it takes time to build a team that can compete if your a real fan you’d be trusting the process and this russ worst shooting year everyone goes through a slump once in their career he gonna come back better

Hope is what you need. However with Westbrook on your team a championship is not gonna happen. There’s a reason KD left. You know what’s up you called it. Respect!

Streets of Los Angeles your stupid asf kd left because it was just Westbrook and kd only scoring they failed to get another scoring option after harden left quit speaking on shit you know nothing about your not even a okc fan

Russ does not care about winning! Darn.

hyeboi right. He’s literallly the worst volume shooter of all time. Compared to you and me he’s talented I would assume. Compared to nba players? His lack of pure talent is his biggest flaw(along with his lack of ability to acknowledge that fact). I don’t get how anyone can call him talgned. I think the word they are looking for is physically gifted. When we discuss talent, we usudally atr discussing it relative to said persons peers in the field they practice their craft in right ?

All he has to do plqy better then people will shut up.

Lysi789 he’s not a better player than Westbrook

And it would have only took him 11 years LMAO

@Javier smith I don't know basketball!? Your the one who just said westbrick had a "dangerous mid range jumper" lmao. I've been watching Russ play for years and I never ever remember him having a "dangerous" jumper period! He may have had a streaky mid range jumper but not "dangerous". And if westbricks jumper was so "dangerous" why does he always flop in the playoffs?

And hope - with the biggest of hopes.... that players like Westbrook could/would mature and change their ways - for their own sakes - and for those young fans/players who he may influence and may wish to emulate him.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jrtiZqmrlrqbeo0.html Here’s a breakdown by heat check. He is a stat hunter.

You must of never actually been on the court for any basketball that doesn’t involve playing at the park. When you are a Great Guard who has made big shots in the past and you are open, the whole team and coaching staff is going to want you to shoot it.

Yeah, you would know! A random ass fan who hasn't played basketball once in his life!

@@elroy5632 we got different opinions and that's cool u think what u wana think and I'll do the same.

@@hjoshua1701 aw my name joshy and oooooooooh my pussy hurts

His shooting has been ass

David Morrison if his shooting percentages were only 1% lower than usual and people still had a problem with it, don’t you think that could mean there’s something wrong with his career averages? Lol. A career 30% 3point shooter does not need to be taking 5 threes a game and that is the point people were making. Not that this one season is so astronomically low that he needs to stop shooting. It’s that he’s always shot this low percentage and has never learned to take smarter shots. People are just re-emphasizing that yet again because it’s the same story every year.

CJ Johnson ik right I thought the same thing, ion know if pg gonna stay

He is missing layups because he does not know how to finesse off the glass like GP does. He drives reckless to the rim and can't slow down to properly finish.

He needs to see a specialist? 🤣 Yeah, I'm sure an NBA player making tens of millions of dollars every year is calling up their local GP and booking an appointment to figure out why he's having shoulder pain.

willy santana and you loser any day

And u will never win.....believe that

Thanks for being positive, Willy Santana. Russ is right... hater's gonna hate - nothin' he can do about that. The Thunder's owner/management didn't hang onto good players they should have, who've continued to play well elsewhere. If I had given as much as Russ has, to play this game at a high enough level to compete, then got treated this way after Harden left, Ibaka went same year KD bailed and other players left (owner avoiding luxury taxes), I'd chew my gum for some of this interview, if it kept me even. He was honest, yet he's STILL criticized. He doesn't deserve the blame for OKC not making it into the next round. He's 1 player out of 4 more on the court at any given time. He expects so much from himself and doesn't make excuses. He doesn't blame his teammates or his coaches. When OKC lost Asst Coach Monty Williams (his wife died in a car crash/he's raising their kids alone now), Williams abruptly left. The Phoenix Suns just hired him as their Head Coach... he's good and had great repore with every OKC player. That off season, with KD and Ibaka no longer on the Thunder, the team lost a lot, and it's not the 1st time they've had hardship like that. Russ hangs in and stays loyal - he's consistent with his strong work ethic, making things look easy that many of his peers don't do as well as he does (great players tend to do that). Criticizing him so freely, then comparing him to players on teams where they're surrounded by teammates with many more years of experience, when half of Russ's teammates are quite young, is simply unfair. And let's get real - the dude has set fashion standards with panache. He wears a nice pair of sweats, and now he's not dressed appropriately?!? Get off his case and admire what he HAS accomplished and how much he cares about his teammates and his coaches. Disappointments happen... but you should realize that this Thunder team has suffered their share, and then some. You can't blame Russ just because he stayed with his team when others did not, for whatever reason. Consider some of these things before you put down the answers he's giving here as he tries to make up with the media. If he loudly smacked his gum every interview, it would be different. He doesn't. He's a human being at the end of the day, and deserves to be treated with respect- we would want to be, if we were lucky enough to be in his shoes, which he gives away to a young fan after EVERY game he plays... BECAUSE HE REALLY DOES CARE! As a Thunder fan since my youngest showed me his team, and why he loved KD and Russ so much, I can honestly say that our players are better individually than they are given credit for. Their energy, sportsmanship and uniqueness are amazing. The way our guys click is something else. PG has been a great addition to the team. Looking forward to getting Roberson back into the line up. The younger players will increase their confidence during the off-season and the team will gel more. Go, Thunder!!!

@@karenimhoffstolk6405 Listen man that whole post was All Excuses for a selfish player who's been proven to be chasing stats ,they have Footage of this guy doing it....he played with many players an all of them did better once they was away from westbrick, if u switch Durant for Westbrick.

UB - Even though we may not agree on some things, did you catch the GS loss to Houston? Some fans are hatin' on Curry now. Russ is a talented player with a crazy work ethic... I grew up watching players like him through my childhood (N Y, Detroit, LA, Philly, Cinci, and Portland). The money wasn't in it back then, but the bond those players had was tight, and family's remain close to this day. They played for the love of the game, the high level of competition and because they wanted to win for their coach and fans. Sadly, my Pops (hook shot/excellent passer/shot blocker/rebounder) passed away recently. Unexpected, as he was still so strong and lean. His college coach and Olympic Coach passed away in the late 2000's, a year before his jersey was retired (won the NCAA Jr year, then lost in the NCAA Final the following year). That Olympic Men's Basketball Team was inducted into the Naismith HOF along with the 1992 Dream Team. Both teams had recently lost their head coaches. The comments I've made come from the many things I was privileged to learn during such a unique, unusual childhood. I loved watching Dr. J play... I understand you're not a fan, but I see similarities between him and Russell Westbrook.

@Daniel Harper How is my comment "hating" Westbrook. It's called constructive criticism and it's a fact. He is the common denominator in the last three seasons for OKC cause like he said teams are different each season. I want this dude to win. But it's the same every year with him. Dude needs to evolve.

LOL now your gonna blame the coach? Westbrook a grown man and an all-star. He's gonna play his way and no coach will ever change his game style. You wasting comment space. Westbrook needs to change his game style if he ever wants to win a ring. That's what my comment means. He needs to evolve.

He’s been so unfairly judged. Has a right to dismiss the media
