@nekhoops @_AKASOR @TheWestbrookEra @unactiveno @_sunless1 @Liege92 Those aren’t the playoff stats. Rookie Spida averaged 29 ppg and took that OKC team out in 6 games while Russ shot sub 40 again from the field and averaged 5 tos per game.

@_AKASOR @TheWestbrookEra @unactiveno @ISmith_WMT @_sunless1 @Liege92 Imagine thinking Russ got outplayed by Don Mitchell. You’re just another brainwashed retard.

2010’s first team without Russ in it just comedy that ain’t possible

@TheWestbrookEra @nekhoops @reapGrimer49 @_sunless1 @Liege92 If outdueling one another in the playoffs is what makes you a better player then was Donovan Mitchell a better player a Russ in 2018? Whopped that team as a rookie with Rudy as his 2nd best player.

Russ outplayed Kawhi and sent him home in 2016 so that’s not even possible that he was better. 2017 Russ had the greatest individual MVP szn so Kawhi > Russ couldn’t be true then either. Russ was the best player on the ‘16 team and he outplayed Kawhi in game 5 and 7 last year off the bench to decide the series. That was the nail in the coffin for Kawhi 😂

@nekhoops @TheWestbrookEra @reapGrimer49 @_sunless1 @Liege92 Scoring on elite efficiency in iso and off ball while being the best defender in the game, a playoff riser, and a clutch player. They play different positions so it’s a matter of preference but both of them made all nba 1st those seasons so it’s close either way.

@ISmith_WMT @TheWestbrookEra @reapGrimer49 @_sunless1 @Liege92 What measurement are you using for who was better in 2016 and 2017? Russ was the best player on the 2016 Thunder.

@nekhoops @reapGrimer49 @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 @Liege92 Did you read, I said I credit Russ for doing everything he could, but idk how you can take 2 guys that put up great numbers and say the one who won 1 game had a better run than the guy who made it much further.

@ISmith_WMT @reapGrimer49 @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 @Liege92 What was Russ supposed to do when he rested for 5 minutes on the bench and his team got destroyed? I swear you people are braindead.

@TheWestbrookEra @nekhoops @reapGrimer49 @_sunless1 @Liege92 For one, Kawhi was better than him in 2016 and 2017. Second, you’re brining up playoff records when Russ wasn’t ever the best player on any of those teams. He was the 3rd leading scorer that series in 2012 and the 6th man last year with the best player itl.

@nekhoops @reapGrimer49 @ISmith_WMT @_sunless1 @Liege92 Russ was widely considered better than Kawhi every single year of the 10’s until 2019 the final year. He was better than him in the 10’s and he’s better than him all time. He has a 3-1 playoff series record against him to show for that. Kawhi has never gotten the best of Russ.

@nekhoops @reapGrimer49 @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 @Liege92 You can debate which players better statistically. Russ had better numbers but on 38/27 splits while Kawhi had great numbers on amazing splits and elite on both ends. Kawhi made wcf while Russ got 1 win that year, though I credit him doing everything he could out there.

@ISmith_WMT @reapGrimer49 @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 @Liege92 Russ in the same playoff below. Basketball is a team sport and his team got blown off the court when Russ wasn’t in the game.

@nekhoops @reapGrimer49 @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 @Liege92 28/8/4.5 on 52/45/93 splits, leading his team to the wcf and having his way against the warriors before zaza took him out.

@ISmith_WMT @reapGrimer49 @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 @Liege92 What was Kawhi’s 2017 playoff run?

@reapGrimer49 @nekhoops @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 @Liege92 Kawhis 2017 and 2019 playoff runs are better than any run Russ has had in his career.

@nekhoops @ISmith_WMT @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 @Liege92 dude said u have nothing else except 2 FINALS MVP ; 2 DPOY ; 5 ALL DEFENSIVE TEAMS things that Russ DON’T HAVE😂😂😂😂😂 u can’t make this up bro is Russ groupie i can’t even believe it

@nekhoops @Liege92 @reapGrimer49 @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 And Kawhi could’ve had another all nba season if zaza didn’t take him out in the WCF.

@Liege92 @reapGrimer49 @ISmith_WMT @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 He wasn’t a star for four, he was all-nba 3 times, Russ 8-times. Russ would have been 9 times if Pat Bev didn’t take out his knee.

@nekhoops @Liege92 @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 Bro finished top 3 in MVP back-to-back years, then capped the decade off with an iconic championship run. Not even mentioning his first DPOY season, but that’s more than 1 year.

@Liege92 @ISmith_WMT @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 Russ has sent Kawhi to Cancun 3-times in his career. What are you talking about? The entire decade of the 2010s, Kawhi has 1 year, Russ has the rest. 8 all-nbas to 3 for the decade isn’t even close enough to compare.

@nekhoops @reapGrimer49 @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 @Liege92 Russ was the 3rd leading scorer in that 2012 series and shot 38% from the field. He wasn’t the guy leading the charge.

@reapGrimer49 @ISmith_WMT @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 @Liege92 Russ sent Kawhi to Cancun 3-times but never had a deep playoff run?

@nekhoops @ClipsFoLife @actuallytweakin @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 @Liege92 And if yk his scoring titles are on bad efficiency why try to make it a flex 💀

@ClipsFoLife @actuallytweakin @ISmith_WMT @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 @Liege92 Why you lying about the splits btw? If they’re that bad why lie? Smartest Kawhi fan…

@nekhoops @reapGrimer49 @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 @Liege92 2 DPOYs to zero, 2 FMVPs to zero, a steals title to zero, led the postseason in total points. It goes both ways. Not to mention Kawhis a 3 level scorer and his worst shooting splits would be career-high level efficiency for Russ.

@reapGrimer49 @ISmith_WMT @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 @Liege92 I already told you Kawhi was better in 2019, this is a conversation about the entire decade and Russ clears, it’s not close. 8 all-nbas to 3 all-nbas for the decade. 2 scoring title to zero. 2 assist titles to zero.

@nekhoops @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 @Liege92 Kawhi was a late bloomer and still got the same total of 1st team all nbas as Russ in his first 6 seasons. His 2019 FMVP isn’t really a team accomplishment since he lead that entire playoffs in total points, and neither are his 2 DPOYS. Russ also never peaked as high as Kawhi.

@ISmith_WMT @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 @Liege92 Russ was all-nba 8x in the 2010s, Kawhi 3x. Be serious, if you start your arguement with team accomplishments then you’ve already lost.

@Liege92 @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 Yep, and I’m a fan of Russ, but pretending that his legacy is better than Kawhi, Steph, or hardens is hilarious.

@ISmith_WMT @TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 Everybody knows this 😂 there is not list. No real media saying or said Westbrook is top 5. At no point was anybody starting their team with Westbrook as the PG.

@TheWestbrookEra @_sunless1 @Liege92 2x champ / 2x DPOY / 2x FMVP is hard for Russ to top. 2019 Kawhi is also better than any version of Russ.

@_sunless1 @Liege92 Do you wanna put Westbrook’s 2010’s resume next to Kawhi or do you wanna keep wasting my time. We can end this quick.

@richeeszy Ted from HIMYM

this is one of the best video clips I've seen

Lakers really about to go into the playoffs with just LeBron and friends 😭 #lakeshow

@KillaKreww Same guy who pitched them to move to Nashville but now he wants to act offended.

Stephen A Smith GOES OFF on LeBron James about his comments on Memphis and the Grizzlies with a “bunch of white boys around him” 😳👀 “It’s a bunch of white dudes on a golf course knowing the camera rolling and videoing you without any regard for what kinda effect that would have on the Black populace.”

@LakersNation Rui been on fire all season, contested/open but can’t even make the open shots rn.

Shai is impossible to stop right now. Timeout #Lakers as they trail 76-41.
