@DanteOnDeck Big Halloween fan. I commend you for your service. Some of the rewatches are ROUGH. But there is some gold in there (aside from the obvious OG78)
Russell Westbrook has:
🏀12 refurbished courts
🏀Opened a middle school and high school
🏀 Why Not Foundation provides reading rooms, food drives, and mental health services
🏀 initiated projects to build affordable housing in LA
🏀 Partnered La Clean Tech to cut pollution on vulnerable neighborhoods
🏀 Honor The Gift manufactures all of its clothing locally.
Mentioning Russell Westbrook who was just honored by the city of Los Angeles for how much he's don't for the city is insane.
Clearly JR Smith is uneducated about how much Russ has done and still does for the city he loves.

@TheWestWolfPod Zeke with 2 rings gives him the edge for sure. Steph gotta be one and Russ is/was better than CP3 as great as he was.
1. Steph
2. Magic
3. Zeke
4. Russ
5. Oscar
6. Kidd
7. Nash
8. CP3
9. Stockton
10. Payton
@TheWestWolfPod I think Russ is about to find a lot of peace with all of the upcoming success that comes with retirement, next phase. Fam gonna benefit from all of it.
@MichaelRedd_ Well said, Redd! Unfortunately the Lakers stint + LAL media + LBJs fans hurt his Internet rap.The nasty stuff began there.
People like you who played at a high lvl, competed against Russ, his teammates, coaches,etc. They know!
Great player. Great person. Great career.
Russell Westbrook retired today with the most triple-doubles in NBA history. The name written on his wrist for all 18 seasons belongs to the kid UCLA actually wanted. That kid died at 16, and Westbrook spent two decades playing for both of them.
Westbrook was a 5'8", 140-pound freshman that no college recruited. The call UCLA's head coach made to his high school in 2004 was about Khelcey Barrs III, Westbrook's best friend from across the street in Hawthorne. A 6'6" phenom pulling scholarship offers as a sophomore. The two had a pact to play at UCLA together, then the NBA.
In May 2004, during a pickup game at LA Southwest College, Barrs collapsed on the court. An undiagnosed enlarged heart.
Westbrook walked across the street every morning after that to do his friend's chores at his grandmother's house. Then he grew 7 inches, averaged 25 a game as a junior, and took the UCLA offer they were supposed to accept together. From that point on he played like a man carrying two careers.
The numbers he put up look like typos.
209 triple-doubles is the most in NBA history, and it took breaking Oscar Robertson's record that stood for 47 years. In 2017 he averaged a triple-double across an entire season, something no human had done since 1962, then did it three more times. 27,176 points, 14th all time. 10,351 assists, 5th all time, behind only Stockton, CP3, Kidd, and LeBron. He did all of it at 6'3" in a league of giants, and outlasted the franchise that drafted him. Seattle picked him 4th in 2008 and stopped existing before he played a game.
And in every one of his 1,301 games, he wore two wristbands. One said KB3. The other said "Why not?"
People spent 18 years asking why he played every possession like the building was on fire. He was playing for two.
.@russwest44 is using his talents on the court to lift up his community off the court.
His foundation, school, fashion line, and multiple business investments all have the same goal: to impact and inspire those often overlooked & underestimated.
