As u can see he was not as explosive in college as he is now. This means he really worked hard to enhance the physical gifts he already had in college. Amazing!

Russell played the game with the same passion he has today.

That team could have been the best squad ever. They 6 players who had good pro careers including 2 potential HOF’s. The coach tried to mold them to his style instead of letting them play. Ben Holland did the worst possible coaching job.

Wow 15 years later in 2021 he’s an even better athlete than he was then with the way he plays that’s unbelievable!!

I remember those UCLA teams... With the recent March Madness run they had I hope they stay on top of College Basketball 🏀

To think Jordan farmar was the best player on all those ucla final four teams!

I Deadass thought ucla was playing the Sacramento kings for 2 secs 💀🤣

He showed he had potential to be a great player in this video. It's showing in the NBA now. He worked hard and improved on athleticism and skills over the years.

He went to the league and got WAY more explosive lol he doesn’t look as fast or jump as high, and you would think he would look more athletic when he’s younger but that’s not the case

great work on all the video clips, props to the technicians & content creator. The final four was in my hometown. Didn't go but both my sons did.They came back with a natural high. March madness is the s****!

As brilliant as Westbrook was, Kevin Love should have been the Wooden National Player of the Year. A true insult that Michael Beasley won it over Love.
