I liked him back in college. I thought his motor and intensity was great. I actually thought he would be a better defensive player than ended up being which you can probably blame to a lack of discipline cuz he should be an elite defender based on his physical abilities. I like that thunder team and Russ was the guy like the most. Some of the things you can do. Athletically were outrageous. He's one of the more physically gifted NBA players I've ever seen. And despite some of it being by design and some of it him hunting, the triple double season was impressive. His MVP season was impressive and generally the effort intensity that he always played with was impressive. And I think part of it is that I generally try to be more level-headed and but sometimes you Just have a guy you like. Even though he makes boneheaded plays and lacks discipline and typically shouldn't ever shoot a three pointer but he still shoots them. House. I think there's a bit of contrarian in me too that a lot of people turned on them and a lot just justifiably point out his flaws which is fair. But plenty of NBA players have huge flaws and I never excused them I just think the good typically outweight the bad and I appreciated what he was rather than what people wanted him to be. Of course, a point guard who doesn't take care of the ball doesn't shoot three-pointers well, should Of course, a point guard who doesn't take care of the ball doesn't shoot three-pointers well Is it an enormous problem and I can understand people's complaints on that
He's a very flawed and the a player but so are most of them besides the elites of the elites and even then they fall off Russ's fall off happened. Pretty dramatically in terms of his efficiency then they fall off Russ's fall off happened. Pretty dramatically but I still love the guy. Apologies for this long rambling speak to text diatribe on Russell Westbrook but he's the man. Let Rusty Russ no what the Russ b Russ I guess that works
