The Ringer didn't even have him in their top 100, which I honestly agree with more.
Russell Westbrook is absolutely not a top 25 player currently LOL
WestBrick isnt even a top 125 player. I wouldn't give up Gabe Vincent for him in a straight trade.
Little know fact - there are 150 players in the top 25
I get that Russ runs on pure confidence but this looks like playing with fire.
I don't know if it's because they're friends or what. How do his teammates watch him suck and then just pat him on the back?
Ok if Russ is top 25 how did Russ and PG Lose to teams like utah and Portland in rd 1 a few years ago.
Pauly P smoking some wild green.
Lol
Top 25 PGs maybe
He isn’t anymore.
Is that before factoring in BBIQ or after.
Westbrook wasn't even a top 5 player when he won MVP. He's barely still in the league at this point.
Statpadding pud
Everyone got 50 guys in their top 25
Lmao okay P
On the Clippers? Ok
Obviously there are more than 25 guys you’d take before Russ right now, but FWIW listening to the clip I think he’s more so talking about Russ as a top-25 floor raiser/engine which might be fair (if not super meaningful from a winning standpoint…). I’m not sure there’s 25 guys you could swap in for Russ after Kawhi and PG go down and get a more competitive Suns-Clippers series, and plenty of the 92 guys ranked higher than him wouldn’t have kept LA in those games

Is Wemby > Russ tho?
Sounds like my wife telling me how good looking I am.
He’s not right but he’s not wrong. Russ should be in the back half of a top 50, maybe barely outside it. 80 is way too low.
that's a dumb take, here, take my dumb take instead.
Honestly to have him in the top 100 is an accomplishment given how he has been playing the last couple years.
So how come only the Clippers were interested in signing Crocobrook at an amount good for top 200 in the league at $7M for 2 years? Definitely doesn't sound top 25 to me.
Players that never played an NBA game being above Russ is what has people saying shit.
Yeah then why did every bum team use a centre to ‘guard’ and ignore him ? Including clipppetd n Dame blazers
Sure Paul, maybe 5 years ago
Are we talking top 25 in turnovers or shots that miss the rim? I'd agree with both.
