How does Russell Westbrook get so many rebounds? An in-depth analysis

Russell Westbrook averaged yet another triple double in the NBA-- his fourth in a row. The way he gets points and assists make all the sense in the world.. but what about his rebounds? I decided to put some nice, crisp in-depth work into finding out. Enjoy !

Show some love on this one! 😁 Took me a bit of a minute, but it was mad fun to make. Let me know what else you’d wanna see

[YardratZ]

Dude. The way you eliminated variances and construct validity is beyond amazing. This is needed

[CHP.Spinna]

I truly respect you for being objective and pulling up stats and knowing he’s a stat padder he’s still one of the best rebounding guards just based off athleticism but his stats are fraudulent

[willymak]

This guy deserves more coverage. Keep it up!

[Russ]

Life long russ fan, the only reason I watch the nba right now. You absolutely nailed this video man. Great ending too.

[Bullet_Gibson]

What i got from this is, Russell is a beast and is respected more than centers and power forwards lmao. Russell is clearly goated 💪🏿💪🏿💯💯💯

Well russ was given 3 special gifts, Its his energy, his passion, and his athleticism, Just imagine Jason Kidd, with those attributes he'd put up crazy rebound stats, not like he hasn't already, russ is able to get 10 rebounds with almost 2 more quarters left to play, its not because its easy but because he has the energy and physical attributes to do so, if he didn't have the passion for it, he'll prolly average just 5, which isn't that bad but getting 10 just shows effort hahaha

I've started to think that rebounding is easier for point guards than it is for other spots on the floor. Maybe because defending points don't really box out because of the size, but when MJ played the point for a little while, he recorded a bunch of triple doubles too, while he was never an especially talented rebounder.

You've got to give him some credit for going for them, right? It must take some level of awareness to understand how to get them. The Hachimura rebound is interesting because it required Russ recognizing DJ was being boxed out, and being in the air well before Rui was. Perhaps by necessity, but you don't get that board by accident.

I just hope when it's all said and done we can all look back on Westbrook's career and appreciate that he was able to do this at all. Everybody is so set on tearing him down, it's kind of sad to see someone who seems to genuinely be a good guy get shit on by the entire basketball community for what seems to be no reason.

Most interesting NBA video I've watched in some time.

I was up late and saw a random video of Russell Westbrook and looked at his stats for fun. I was curious how tf did he get all those rebounds at 6'3? This video was perfectly made for my random brain at 3am 😂 thanks fam

I would have liked if you compared Russell’s rebound type %s with similar players

[mannyt.]

Ain’t no such thing as stealing a rebound you go get the damn ball bruh
He wants the ball so he goes and get it
And if teammates “give” him rebounds they don’t want them not his fault
One more thing look when he “sags” where the ball is it ain’t gonna make it to who he’s guarding

[sajalrai]

I'm so done with hearing stat padding!!
I think y'all should go do it... Take rebs make ast and score... 🤷🏽‍♂️
