How BAD is Russell Westbrook Actually?

Russell Westbrook has had one of the more divisive careers in NBA history. The once fan favorite reinvented how we look at a player's production in the modern NBA. Fast forward to now, and Westbrick may be the most ridiculed man in sports. To understand the confusing legacy of Russell Westbrook, today we relive the dunks, airballs, turnovers, fights, and everything in between.

Honestly Westbrook could completely change his legacy by just making better decisions at the end of games. I first said that years ago and I think his newfound success as a role player might guide him in that direction. For too long, he’s been a million dollar athlete with a 10cent brain. But his ability to rip defences apart is still high level. If his basketball IQ evolves in this twilight of his career, I think he can become a champion.

Russ should've went to the clippers 2 years ago instead.

Lifelong OKC fan so naturally I EMBRACE Russell Westbrook and I encourage others too as well, yes he has shaky post season resume but I reckon he is a player we may never see again in the nba

[theprocessss]

I think a ton of people underestimate how terrible this guy really is

[Blasian_guy]

A lot of ppl in these comments don’t kno shit about russ, dude shows up everyday game and always gets his teammates involved and stars always have a mvp caliber season

[geegee]

If only he fixes his Jumpshots instead of stealing Steven Adams Rebounds
Now he's Athleticism starting to decine and his Jumpshots still broke
But i still give him props for attempting to shoot unlike a certain Nets player

Too ball-hungry, too selfish for a PG. Wouldn't want him on my team.

To me Russell Westbrook is a Top 10 player of the last 20 years and a Top 50 player of all time. He has had an amazing career. The Lakers/LeBron/media's scapegoat job has negatively affected people who weren't actually paying attention and listening to narratives perception of his career. I believe he will have a career resurgence with the Clippers because they actually treat him as a teammate and he can just play. The games played after the trade deadline with the Clippers showed what he still has and in the playoffs he balled without Kawhi and PG13.

He only got super hated on because LeFraud's media ganged up on him. They pointed out all the blame in his last season in LA, when LeFraud is as much to blame for them s*cking ass.

Good one today!! I hope this blows up.

Imagine what could have been if the KD-Harden-Westbrook Thunder went all the way and actually did win that title. Very sad that we'll never know. One of the best Big Three ever (could be argued THE best, if not for Westbrook and Harden's lack of titles) but so much wasted potential😢

[jeremybowman]

Russ deserves a statue outside arena in OKC…. He’s fierce as hell and loyal as can be…Maybe he was reason KD left but KD could have easily walked up front and told someone and gotten a haul in return

[justinreinalda]

Watching the playoffs, they don't even guard him.

[Mario-tmrf]

He's the most disrespected NBA superstar

[TheGamingShogun]

he didn't have a better carry job then early cavs lebron.

[ChroniclerOfJudah]

I was never a believer in Westbrook. I never understood the hype around him. What I believed about him in 2012 is the same belief I have now.

[MentallyUnhappy]

He's what?. 😂😂, this video already a W lol.

[selfmaderish]

Russell Westbrook is a legend, I don’t know why people don’t like him

[scottdassler]

I've never liked Westbrook, too cocky and overrated

[alfasiger]

Westbrook always sucked. I tried to tell people he will never win anything cause he's a flashy stat padder that doesnt play winning basketball.
The guy sucked. He was a pain to see. I stopped watching him after Durant left OKC.
