clippers get a player that wants to play everygame every minutes. kawhi is happy
Only thing that would make this podcast better is a higher quality audio!!
This man said they should play eric gordon over russ… They not the same position. Eric gordon aint a pg and isnt the same use player. Who they runnin off gordon bones hyland? Cmon g. Terrence mann is good too but not a natural playmaker. They needed a started pg. Eric gordon terrence manes russ or vibes gotta start.
Also, Lebrons last game he scored what like 4 points in the second half? Russ was the only one fighting and hes to blame? Then hes annoyiled hes benched when he was the only reason they were still in it. Dude has been available and did everything the coaching staff and team needed. Lebron dont play defense, AD has skill but plays inconsistent if he DOES play and the rest of the squad was mid… What they want him to do. Yall just on crack now.
Y’all don’t know ball 😂😂
This is unwatchable. Get better guys ESPN.
You all hang on to BS being a good player and KD as the best player to play the game. Both are wrong.
The push for the playoffs in the West is going be crazy, ready for NBA to return tomorrow‼If you want hear some NBA Takes head over to the channel and check us out 🙏🦾
Russell Westbrook haters
Congrats Spears!!
keep bontempts and mcmahon
Kobe requested trade on May 30, 2007. On May 31st Lebron scored 25 straight points. Those were probably the two big headlines of the day.
It’s so funny how every new team Russ is on thinks Russ can fit into their mold 😂 when will they learn Russ gon Russ.
Russ scored 27 points in his final game as a Laker not 19.
Marcus Spears that is so coincidental that you said that about when Kobe asked for a trade that something significant happened to Lebron. I jus watched a video with my daughter and they talked about that exactly yet I don’t remember what it was I think it was the MVP thing? I’m gonna have to find the video it was either 10 things you didn’t know about Kobe or Lebron
Pau was a superstar? Lmao. His team won 24 games the year before he got traded if Pau was a superstar wat is AD?
Why does Pau get all the credit ? Why doesn’t Kobe get anything for being a good teammate? But when cuss plp out he’s terrible ?
Lmao Kobe being jealous of Lebron lmao gotta turn this off ! U mf’s can’t stop
What does Lebron winning his MVP which he won in 2009 have anything to do with Kobe requesting a trade in 2007?
Crazy Russ took every team he was on to the playoffs winning a mvp when KD left averaged a triple double three straight season n 4 out of the last 6 years the hate be real for no reason crazy
Congratulations to Marc spears
I think he forgot How the heat made it to the finals in the bubble
the racist who isnt cappable to say one word which makes sense is in the hof – smh
PJ Brown wasn't a buyout guy. He was semi-retired. Cassell wasn't very impactful at all.
Protection LeBron force at hand bro these dudes make people dislike Bron from how they operate
No holidays though windy dudnt they just crash a train
Not a Laker fan or a RW fanboy but while there is little doubt that RW was not a good fit last year with the Lakers , he was not the only reason the team did so poorly. Futhermore, the manner in which the team ( not just the organization but LBJ and others) treated him during this season was very demeaning yet he played hard every night . If the leaked stories of the his conduct in the last few days before the trade are true then frankly I understand as it is a natural human reaction to the situation.
I think the lakers are just winging it at this point though and their new Russell sucks at defense
The Most underrated podcast in the world
This dude is a clown. "If Russ accepts the role". Dude he did everything that was asked of him on the Lakers. You guys just want to keep the false narratives going so you have someone to talk about. You want to keep painting this picture that isn't true. Bunch of clowns
I enjoy the gentleman’s version but looking forward to the animal version next week when the Tim’s return 😂
build around ben simmons?? sheesssh. Ben is barely playing and fighting for the backup center spot.
