Russell Westbrook chose OKC when he had every right to leave.
-KD gave up on him in OKC.
-Harden gave up on him in Houston.
-Russ took the Wizards to the playoffs.
-LeBron scapegoated him with the Lakers.
-Kawhi and PG couldn’t stay healthy for him with the Clippers.
-The Nuggets chose Jalen Pickett over him, even though 36yo Russ averaged 16/8/8 with a 22-14 record as a starter in Denver.
The most important thing to understand about Russell Westbrook, that only OKC fans give him credit for, is that the only thing Russ cared about on the basketball court was WINNING.
I’ll say it one last time for the IDIOTS in the back…
Russell Westbrook’s OKC team record in games that he recorded a triple-double was 138-34. THAT’S OVER 80%!
The triple-doubles translated to wins.
Russell Westbrook will be remembered for his loyalty, his competitiveness…and yes, as a winner…even though everyone else around him gave up on him.
And yes, Russell Westbrook is a Top 5 PG of All-Time.
TODAY, they should start building the statue in front of the Continental Coliseum…
because Russell Westbrook built basketball in OKC.
They didn’t value Russ. They didn’t appreciate Russ. They didn’t respect Russ.
I’ll say what Russ didn’t say in his retirement video.
WHY NOT?
OKC WILL LOVE RUSSELL WESTBROOK FOREVER!
Scotsmen in kilts playing the bagpipes at 6am in Boston. The residents of Lawrence, Kansas learning the Algerian national anthem and crowding every practice, South Korean supporters sharing their tequila with Mexican fans before the match, Brazilians taking over Times Square. Bosnian and Canadian fans high fiving before their big match.
The World Cup is humanity's biggest party, and continually reminds us of how amazing we can be!
Watching OKC vs Spurs game 7 made me realize one thing:
I’ve seen Wemby try to flop for more contact than I’ve seen the entire OKC team.
But we don’t usually hear about do we? 🤔
Yall are so biased it’s crazy lmao if Shai said this he would literally be receiving death threats but now cuz wemby did it it’s “taste of your own medicine”
All the SGA slander has become corny. He finished fourth in free throw attempts per game on a team that was 17th. He's as close to a throwback player as you get: a (mostly) inside the three-point line scorer who can beat you a bunch of ways. He gets calls, yes. Gets fouled, too.
Victor Wembanyama, who preaches about ethical hoops, snapped his head back as if he got shot when he didn't get touched, is always hilarious. He just gets a free pass since the media is mesmerized by how cool and thoughtful he is.
