The most athletic point guard of all time…his explosiveness is ridiculous. 2nd player to ever average a triple double for an entire season and he did it 4x

Extra context for that #1 play He had 50 points 16 assists and 10 rebounds that game He broke the record for most triple doubles in a season Eliminated the Nuggets from the playoffs And won MVP

Context for the number 1 play is, that game he broke the single season triple double record in that game and topped of the night by hitting a game winner and knocking Denver out of playoff contention.

he averaged a triple double in a season and won a MVP that season. also OKCs all time leading scorer

All time leader in triple doubles and future hall of famer Russell Westbrook was a fun player to watch growing up

Him, Harden, and KD on the same team as young players before their prime was something to see

8:12 Did you guys even notice he threw the ball off the defenders back as the in bounce passer then hit the buzzer beater?

Happy you guys did russ. Definitely the most angry dunker. I love how emotional he gets.

FINALLYYYYYYYYY , the 🐐

He played for OKC from 2008 to 2019 won an MVP in 2016 they made a few finals in 2012 but loss then played in Houston for a year and then Washington for a year then the Lakers and then got traded to the clippers at the deadline and is still there right now he has 9 All Stars and 9 All NBAs

The reason the last clip was number 1 was because, that same game Westbrook broke the record for most triples doubles in a single season, also that shot knocked Denver out of a playoff spot.

I live in OKC and watching highlights of Westbrook, Durant, and Ibaka all on the floor at the same time gives me warm fuzzy nostalgia. That team was something truly special but never managed to achieve up to their potential. One of the most fun to watch sports teams I've ever seen, and Westbrook was the heart of that.

Theres a difference between dunking on a guy thats over 7 foot tall and completely jumping over a guy 7 foot tall like Vince Carter did

I’ve only ever been to one basketball game. It was Kobe’s second to last game ever in OKC, and when I say Russ had a whole different gear than everybody else, I mean he may have had 2 more gears. TV doesn’t do justice how fast he actually is on the court. Russ’ athleticism is probably one of the best all time.

Legendary player. Westbrook has done things that possibly won't be replicated! Westbrook is a fucking thing of myths he's like a mythical creature! Just flat out unbelievable!

Russ is known for being ultra fast and probably the most athletic pg ever

My favorite player of all time i know the chances arent great but i wanna see him get a ring

Dude would have been elite out wide on a soccer pitch, so much speed, strength and athleticism. Best point guard in the league for multiple years.

These highlights make it seem like Westbrook is a big dunker. I've never thought of him as that, he often goes whole games without any dunk. But when he goes for that rim, he goes all out for it

I've never dunked on someone on a 10 foot hoop, but have dunked on hundreds of people on an 8 foot hoop with 2 other people watching and it's one of the greatest feelings in the world. He flexes and screams after his dunks because the adrenaline after dunking over a 7 foot center, with tens of thousands of people screaming, is too hard to contain.

probably one of the most aggressive dunkers of all time... guy really had beef with the rim

Fact about the number 1 clip is that during that game he breaks the record for most triple doubles in a season and then ends the game with that buzzer beater. I’ll always remember that game and that season. Eventually every away team was rooting for Russell to get closer to beating the triple double record.

A player like Westbrook deserves a bigger compilation than 30 plays honestly he was my favorite player growing up after Kobe. Just fierce tenacity and super athletic, wish he shined in the lakers 😢

That through the legs from the other side of the court is the most ridiculous pass ive ever seen. Prime Russ was just unbelievable

Westbrook will forever be one of the most underrated players in my opinion. His lack of championship runs has hindered the attention he deserves on individual talent. His prime was such an honor to watch

FINALLY WESTBROOK IS MY FAVORITE PLAYER ALL TIME!!!!! and grew up in the Kobe era 💯💯💯💯

Has one mvp and no championships but is the triple double king at the point guard position. Very athletic but nowadays he’s not the same player and his play has never really lead to wins.

My favorite player of all time, as an OKC fan it was a blessing to watch him during his prime

The part I love about Russ is how much emotion he puts in to the game.

Love Russell on and off the court.

this is actually an old highlight tape from a few years ago.. hes done some amazing things since then. waiting on the official update

That last place was to average a triple double in a season since Oscar Robertson, and it gave him 50 that game and it knocked the opposing team, the Nuggets, out of playoff contention. One of the best MVP seasons in recent memory

When you mentioned the Vince Carter dunk in the Olympics, you forgot (or weren't aware of) one other detail... Vince jumped OVER the guy. Not just dunked over him, but literally his entire body went over the defender's head.

Number 1 was the day he beat the all time triple double record and then hit the game winner at the end of the game

I’m from OKC originally and I gotta say. The guy stayed loyal to that community when Kevin Durant left and he completely held the community together. Love the guy no matter how many haters he may have. Gives his heart every play!

I was at that Nuggets game that he dropped 50 on us and hit the game winner. Great game.

"it looks like it was sped up" no my friend that's just how explosive Westbrook was at one point a true triple double king Russell Westbrook holds the record for the most NBA career regular season triple doubles with 198, and is the only player to average a triple-double over four different seasons.

You should watch his best dunks, amazing and so powerfully athletic at his peak

Criminal that the masked coast-to-coast dunk wasn't in here

BEST VIDEO EVER

Gotta watch his 20 20 20 game highlights

OKC had him, KD, and Harden at one point. They were all pretty young at the time. If that team would've stayed together who knows how good they could've been.

Russ actually played in okc for most of his career but after okc he played for houston in the 2019-20 from there he went to the washington wizards and then to the lakers for the 2021-22 and half of the 2022-23 season and then got traded to the clippers in the other half and to this day still plays for the clippers with james harden paul george and kawhi leonard

He was once known as one of the most loyal players but eventually he has started bouncing around a few different teams

Check out some Manu Ginobili highlights if you liked that nutmeg pass

You should do John Wall next him and Russell i feel are who made guards so athletic today

Russel Westbrook won a mvp title with the thunder but that team is known as one of the biggest big three bust of all time since they never made it far in the postseason with Russ kd, James harden, and don’t quote me but I think they had Chris Paul too. He went to the rockets in I think was 2017 with James harden and cp3 and made a conference title series and got bounced. In 2020 or 2021 he left to the lakers with lebron and they got bounced by the nuggets last year in the conference championship game. He’s now on the clippers and is coming off bench and in prime position to win sixth man of the year as he’s getting better every year. That team is scorching hot with him, James harden, kawai, and Paul George who I forgot at some point was also on that thunder team. They are expected to make a deep postseason push. He would be regarded as the 1st or second best point guard ever but lack of championships and even conference championships are holding him back from being one of the best ever.

Westbrook has played on several teams now but was by far at his peak on the Thunder

Westbrook has yet to win a championship (the Thunder of those years is one of the big recent disappointment). He played for five teams but there's a reason why the video only showed clips from when he was with the Thunder: he was a very athletic player, and when his physical abilities started to slip, he really had a lot of trouble adjusting, which is why the second half of his career has been unremarkable.

Russ went to high school with my nephew and he was already a phenom at 15. What an explosive athlete. Would probably have been elite at any sport.

yeah 42 triple doubles is the most in a season by a player ever. Westbrook won MVP that year.

Gotta do David Robinson ❤🎉

Best missed dunks would be a great video to watch!

I think he's the perhaps the most physically gifted to play point guard. I also think he's a head case that will never win a title. The enmity between him and Kevin Durant was bad for a little while.

You have to do the history of james harden, KD and Westbrook who were all on the same team as a young big three

PRIME WESTBROOK is GODLIKE ... he averaged TRIPLE DOUBLE for 3 seasons, one of which he won MVP ... im not sure but i think he is the #1 player in the history of NBA in terms of triple doubles ...

If Russ could have shot better from the outside, he'd be one of the best. But he was always exciting, and gave his all. I was happy when he played for the Lakers, even when he wasn't in his prime.

The Thunder used to be the Supersonics. The supersonics won a finals a long time ago tho

You guys gitta do the russ mvp mixtape. He avg a triple double for 4 of 5 seasons

For the first couple seasons they also had James Harden but they really didn’t win anything because of Lebron, and then Harden left. Then KD, and Westbrook played the Warriors, and the Thunder blew a 3-1 lead, and KD left to the Warriors the next offseason

React to the raiders chargers game

12:40 The NBA would look so much different if Russ, KD and Harden had beat the Warriors with a younger steph, klay, and draymond back then.

Cam Newton College Highlights

4 years in a row averaging a triple double

All the highlights of Westbrook would be so good because of how athletic and how fast he is. But then it’s highlights. The problem is, he is so fast that oftentimes he loses control of the ball or his body. On top of the fact that his shot selection, coupled with his below average jump shot, is not always optimal. I mean, you don’t have to be a basketball fan to decipher that he is not as skilled as some other prominent point guards such as Kyrie Irving, Damian Lillard, Ja Morant, etc. What he has is supreme athleticism that he can out jump or out run other players.

Reacting to Derrick Rose would be a good one, similar freak athlete. Career ruined by injuries though. OR the original LeBron James, Grant Hill.

I really wish you guys would watch videos with more context on their story and career narrative instead of simple highlights, you're really missing what makes Westbrook a hall of famer level talent

One of the greatest to never win it I'm glad you're going down this path of players that were great like really damn great but they just couldn't win a ship its sad seeing such great players and such great teams coming up just shy same thing with Carmelo

You gotta watch Larry bird and magic Johnson a courtship of rivals though. We need more Larry bird lmao

The thunder have been to the finals but havent won one

Kevin Durant, James harden and Russell Westbrook all played together in Oklahoma city for a number of years, but they have nothing to show for it they never won when it mattered.

OKC had Durant, Westbrook, Harden on the same team at one point in time, but sadly they were not able to get over the hump of Lebron James and the Miami Heat when they did make it to the finals.

Okc once had harden coming off the bench Russ & Kd. 3 Soon to be MVPs and went to finals to lost to Lebron and Dwade Heat. The last time Russ and KD played they were up 3-1 against the (73-9) warriors in the WCF and gave it up and lost. But ironically the warriors ended up blowing 3-1 against the cavs in the finals 😂 Then Kd leaves Russ to go to the warriors and Russ would average a triple double for I think 3 season before he was traded to multiple teams. You gotta respect Russ though, he plays at 110% effort every second he’s on that floor

D ROSE NEXT

You guys should react to Luka Doncic

how can anyone watch this and tell me westbrook is overrated 😂😂😂 these plays giving me chills

Sadly they never won a ring on the Thunder they even had James Harden

Okc made it to a finals with Westbrook Durant ibaka and James harden but it was against the heat with Lebron so the heat won but this okc team could have done so much more with the talent they had, they were just too young and harden left to Huston first

Kevin Durant next

Why haven't y'all reacted to Luka

Russ is so disrespected. He’s slowed down in his older age but at his peak he was incredible. Averaged a triple double 4 times in a 5 season span after no one had done it once since the 1960s. He was never a great shooter and that’s been exposed since he’s started to slow down(he’s 35 now). He’s played for a bunch of teams now but most known for his days in OKC. Dude used to just assault the rim

You guys asked if he has any championships or postseason success and the answer is no LMFAO. He went to the finals with KD as a young player in 2012 and other than that one year he has always shrank in the playoffs and in the last 5ish years he became one of the NBA’s most inefficient players

You mean Russell Westbrick

Westbrook is arguable the richest, most selfish player ever. He never won anything.

This is really sad to see even as a celtics fan because thunder at one point was legit probably one of the strongest teams in the NBA Durant, Westbrook, Harden, ibaka on paper but the motherfukers just couldn't win a ship even when harden left and Paul George joined the roster they were still stacked but still couldn't make it
