I’m so glad I found this video. I had to remind myself why I used to like Russ so much. He used to drive to the basket with a violent but fluent motion. It was a blur. He had the confidence to go up on anybody without hesitation. It made his game wild at times but it was must see tv whenever he played. The player he used to be is gone now but not forgotten

Look how fast he speeds up and stops so fast between moves! It’s crazy

If this dude was drafted by the Lakers, 2017 would be a ring year

Russell Westbrook, Steven Adams, Enes Kanter, Jerami Grant, Victor Oladipo, Domantas Sabonis, Taj Gibson ecc........ Coach : Billy Donovan What team 🔥💪

Westbrook at his absolute peak was a true beast leading in 3 different categories in the playoffs. Only Wilt has outdone him there with blocks rebounding and field goal percentage dam near every year and that’s the ultimate company to be kept with especially as a 6 foot 3 point guard. Outta this world talent. Him and harden for sure goats up there with Oscar

Best rebounding guard in NBA history.
