Iman Shumpert Goes Off about Russell Westbrook: He Got $44M But Didn't Get $44M Ball Time! (Part 6) 

WORD!!!!!

If you’re not a Westbrook fan you don’t like basketball. He earned everything he got on court with heart and dedication.

@@lees5953 You got me 👍🏾

NoCapp 😂

Westbrook led the team in rebounds, steals, assists. He didn’t lead in scoring , in which he was 2nd Westbrook was the best player on the team

Definitely seem like a good dude

@@ItzMalick bruh please stop trolling my comments on all these different guys channels, it's pretty weak promo, I get it you tryna push your channel but nuff now.. We spreading positive vibes and love not promo.

Iman really is a😎guy very tall.I met him last year at CVS here in Miami,he had daughter June🐞 with him.That really made my night🙌🏽🥰got a pic too😊

@@lindaclark4242 i bet you wanted to give up them cookies huh?

@@edwardwalden05 Oh no🙅🏽‍♀️never been a groupie.I've met plenty of celebs before him.Always had respect and self control🤷🏽‍♀️Have a nice day!

Exactly

@Action Potential 22 what? Lol

The new media

Well it makes more sense when you got someone who has 1st hand knowledge on what they are talking about.

@@88ntil I ruined it 🤭☺️

Vlad stay trying to get Iman to throw jabs at Russ and Iman wasnt going for it! Respect! 💯💯💪🏾

The media continued to roast him because of the amount of views it got them. Because of stupid fans that let the media determine their opinions for them.

Yes yes yes and yes thanks

Y'all keep talking about the Media and forgot to Mention the FANS...lol..let's not act like normal fans of basketball don't have opinions about Westbrook either.

Oh so I need to know Basketball to know a guy can't shoot n builds houses with all those bricks? ??

@@kingdomsheir7 Then YOU need your eyes checked

😂

Shump had a horrible take on Russ🙄, Russ did in fact have the ball in his hands most of the time, he brought the ball up the court as usual he got his touches………..Russ was not just supposed to be cake and just add to the team he was supposed to relive bron from having so many minutes and scoring load and run the offense……..Russ was a disaster and litteraly missing wide open DUNKS and having the ball fly out his hands to a wide open fan in the stands on a nightly basis! 😤🤦🏽‍♂️

Fr, not tryna hear Glad interrupt Iman at all like he does everyone else.

Exactly

It’s just ironic that they traded away all of their wings to get him and didn’t realize that he’d need spacers LOLL. Some front office

Lakers had that, fucking managment a shaqtin for trading kcp, kuzma etc and letting Caruso go

@@mayankkulshreshtha6322 Well there still is other 3 and D players they can get rn. They might not be as good as kuzma and caruso was for them but they would still help the team a lot

Don’t non of that shit matter If A.D. not on the court. He don’t ever play his ass stay hurt the team suppose to be built around A.D. right now.

Exactly

Russ Melo Trevor and Dwright knows that they need shooters and a good balance system and AD needs to stays healthy that’s all and this is coming from a true Celtics fan

Shooting and defense, yea the defense could have been better if ad was on the floor more but not significantly, they need to make some good off season moves, not huge, just get players that can fill holes in their game

U swapped that championship team for the 44m man lol he didn't play 44m worth of ball

@@yungelplaga9538 stfu dumb casual. The man in the video literally explains this

I would tune in it sucks he’s not still playing on somebody’s team anymore

He definitely knows what he talking about!!!!💯

Everyone need a podcast huh.

@@IKEBULLTV right I'm tired of that. People act like they don't have they own mind. They need listen to other people

Nah there’s probably some teams that offered him deals I think he just focused on himself and his family rn

Basketball players get paid to play. The coach tells them what to do, no one’s taking advice from a journeyman lol

@@hammertimejames5511 yo bogus

@@Kenfromig he sound like another couch all star who didn't get picked up on a squad in the hood, lol

He shot 66% from free throw 29% from 3. Stfu

@@thehumannugakareemsupreme9484 tf does that mean b*tch a**n*gga

No shit, ofc if u are a brick fan

@@hectorzayas5488 nah also a tripple double fan yo favorite play never average a tripple double in one season yet three consecutive season bron average 6 rebounds he way to big for that

People want a pg to average 28 pints a game off the ball which he averaged 22 and 44% fg i don’t see the problem with that 8 rebounds 11 assist like that’s his worst season and he still look pass decent for a point guard 🤷🏾‍♂️

​​@@kingjaetv632 so we just gonna ignore the low IQ, the horrible efficiency, the MANY turnovers, no defense and horrible shot selection huh?

@@kingjaetv632 he has the most misleading triple double stats. His assists doesn't even come from ball movement and seeing the open man with the open shot. He holds on to the ball and looks for the man with the open shot to get that assist. And OKC literally catered their defense to allow him to get those rebounds. His style of play is good for stats but ain't good for winning playoff games.

So he getting $44 million to slow down .... not bad 😇

He’s not going to have that role he’s had in OkC, and D.C., because Lebron is the primary ball handler.

@Call Me Nimble00 you still dont get it and you dont boot RUSSELL WESTBROOK out of the league you are crazy

BECAUSE HE IS NOT THATTT, HOW DELUSIONAL ARE YALL

@Call Me Nimble00 ok Phil Wackson 😂

That means he overpaid and that hurts the team.

And Vlad still made the headline real “click-batey” like Shump was talking shit 🤦🏾

Nobody Blames Russ Besides White Kids and The Media. No Player Has Ever Said Anything Bad About Russ. Not Even KD 😂

@@OFFICIALKB2FLY Patrick Beverly?

@@genomarshall27 I think that’s just how you read it🫤 … if you read it with a positive mindset it reads different

@@OFFICIALKB2FLY bro have you seen Bron’s body language?? Cmon man!

Bro how would that even help lakers they would get beat either way with him on benchbench or not on the team

@@mr.chiraq with westbrook leading the second unit he can play his game in his rhythm. Westbrook needs to control the offense to be successful instead of being in position to be.

Had a higher usage rate than bron and AD.

@@1990POE not in the games lebron was playing.

@@moesisme2 people forget Westbrook was running the point and primary ball handler like the first 15 games. But he was making so many turnovers they told bron to run the point

They probably wouldn't let him,he's not talking crazy for clout,or just saying sheep fan things He's too knowledgeable and reasonable to market in that world

He don’t care lol

Every athlete don’t wanna be a 🐑 analyst

@@deykno87 he is literally showing up and talking to Vlad for nothing lol… I’m not saying every athlete wants to… but he clearly wants to talk about the game and he’s good at it… that’s literally all I’m saying dude

No he isn't, he been traded 4 years in a row. 66% from free throw 29% from 3 He's ass

🤣🤣🤣

😭😭😭

day-to-dayvis

😂😂💀

Chuck gave him that name..

A regular? Vlad has actual fans that tune into his shit regularly??? Shit this is news to me

and dame

Nah dame lillard also

Because he can't see the obvious. Westbrook is in decline. I've never seen a man miss as many layups as Westbrook has this year. He's losing his athleticism and never developed a jumpshot any sort of finesse move around the rim.

Dude that means you don't know jack shit and literally need to study the fundamentals of the game any watch all types of ball not just NBA. That man spit some facts but u just made bro sound like the Malcolm X and Farrakhan of basketball lol

Really? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That says more about YOU than anything tbh lol

@@eliteleveliq4289 Farrakhan is a fascist lol

That’s cuz you don’t know how to form your own opinions, you just follow narratives

he has valid points but Westbrook played bad this year 2...it was his own fault as well

No pro plays like Russ no matter what role they put into 🤷‍♂ No sense at all!

This is why niggas be followers in the sports world according to what mainstream media feeds you. It took another nigga to tell you something that you could've watched just by tuning into the games?

Bri you got got this is iman shooting his shot to tell legm give him s chance back in the league

he's speaking facts. Anybody who's watched basketball for a while or played a little bit can see this, but he broke it down to the T.

U mean for u to understand nobody needs him to break down anything especially like he was a real hooper

@@BIGRENZY boy go sit down some where goofy .. should've saved ya little comment..I said " y'all" for a reason ..if the shoe don't fit keep it moving 🤡

@@slattjames5969 you are apart of that y’all lol you a whole casual slim

Him being a hooper doesn't mean he is always right He is wrong because that's not gonna help the team the most

Facts.

Exactly!!!

All hoopers aren’t even aligned on those views so that point is irrelevant

It's actually very easy and expected. How much basketball did Popovich play? He's a top 5 head coach of all time with 5 titles, coaching at least 5 hofers 4 of which were rookies when he got there. So yes non basketball players can know more about basketball than actual players

Was averaging 15 off Houston bench and they still cut him smh

@@mlee4467 they were trying to blackball him like they did A.I in Detroit . It’s literally disgusting. Idk how that shit happens

Btw 18 7&7 for russ this year as the “3rd option”

@@215Legend A.I still had something left in the tank in det. I don’t understand the shit they pull.

Melo is buns though Nothing he's done in his career deserves the praise he's gotten

No he’s not spitting facts, Westbrook was the best player for the lakers this season Look it up Led the team in rebounds , assists and steals, he was 2nd in scoring

@@YounginBallin no he did not wtf??? LMAO 😂 He only lead in turnovers and assist, he doesn’t lead in points, rebounds, blocks, or Stls.

@@omaidolor8929 he lead in rebounds, assists , free throws and steals google it And was 2nd in points behind Lebron I’m not talking about per game averages, I’m talking about TOTAL NUMBER

@@omaidolor8929 can you not comprehend?

@@YounginBallin You said all major categories. I can comprehend just fine, total numbers don’t mean shit because he played more games and mins then everybody on the team by a landslide. Looking at the total numbers doesn’t give you the full context. Averages calculates consistency, he shoots 66 percent from the freethrow line so what does that tell you if he’s going to the line and missing the free throws? 29% from 3. Y’all gotta watch the games I’m convinced y’all Westbrook fans just watch highlights

Doesn’t matter. U making 44 million u gotta hit shots and not turn the ball over so much

Russel is trash now. No excuses

Pros dont play like R. Westbrick no matter what role they are put into 🤷‍♂ And Im a Lakers fan.

If he was good they would’ve gave it to him. Simple.

He had opportunity when Bron and Ad were both hurt and he failed. In conclusion he’s terrible but he can cry on 44 million

Funniest comment on this video Lool!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Facts

Yes or steady on ESPN or TNT

No. Everybody in the league knows basketball. If you heard players speak on bball it would be a new language.

Even worse is Zion..

naaw , he a player. everyone knows they see everything better then us. is ball talk nothing insane. but when you an analyist..is differeng.

I think a lot of people criticize the Lakers because they think it’s funny how LeBron shows up and decides to play GM. As a result the Lakers have basically no first round picks for the next 8 years and they are stuck with this.

@@rlsullivan85 I don’t mind them criticizing the lakers at all! I hate the Lakers I just don’t like how they wanna put all the blame on Westbrook for their failures! He wasn’t a good fit at all for them!

Lakers fans don’t care, they just want it TO WORK! Lakers fans gotta be the most ungrateful fans and I’m a lakers fan.

@@rlsullivan85 how did this become about Lebron? Tf he gotta do with how terrible lakers front office has been for years?

@@edwardwalden05 because LeBron calls the shots when it comes to building the roster. He’s leaves a path of destruction everywhere he leaves lol

Nah he talking crazy ,Russ led the team in every category on the lakers except for scoring , only behind Lebron

I think staying in LA is his best option. If AD comes back healthy the Russ move will make way more sense.

@@successdefiners I self edited "better situation". A different coach and system in LA certainly qualifies as a better situation

Tim had that shot on lock

@@It_is_what_it_is63 Exactly

He lying through his teeth lol

And normally he has been top 5 for near his entire game and this season both Lebron and especially AD missed games. Dead sure with them both playing 82, Westbrook would be top 30 tops. Shumpert never said he get no touches, he said he has went from having superstar amount of touches to role player amount of touches which is a huge difference. Really how are so many of y'all out here this slow.

It doesnt change the fact russ use to be top 2 in usage remember thats one of the reasons why kd left okc lebron is the primary decision maker on the floor with him which takes away what russ does best an that just go downhill on fast breaks so less touches with a player that isnt a good shooter will have all your stats down cause hes not an efficient scorer

He said he wasn’t positioned in the right spots.. which is Vogel fault for trying to make Westbrook a spot up shooter that stands in the corner all day

@@Splashgetcash facts

It’s a brotherhood

Russ still trash. Needs to be on a bad team if he can't be ball dominant.

It's why I don't argue basketball. I never liked Russ but I'm not switching up like everyone else. I never liked Harden but I'm not switching up and just following what everyone is going with...

@@MrCopacetic23 you couldn’t even make the g league calling a superstar trash like y’all fans know played in the league before lol

@@jmoney888 I don't have to be in any pro league to see with my eyes that the guy's entire career he has been a manufactured stat padder that is scary inefficient. KD couldn't leave him quick enough.

He not right tho. He said everything Russ does is cake. How when he making 44 million a year???

But thats how Russ plays tho. he plays fast and he was on teams where they knew to get out the way so he can fly. Then grab boards when he bricks.

@@a.soraparu773 fast and sloppy

@@jaron312 nobody said otherwise but it was enough for him to get a 44M contract. Lakers were trash when Lebron first got there and AD was hurt all last season. Let’s see what year 2 is like for them. Cuz nobody gonna take that contract. So he’s lakers problem now.

@@Mg-vl2ye he just told you why not to blame him for 44 million

Nigga played like pure booty idk why people tryna take up for him ☠️

‘The side of the damn goal’? U mixing up the sports. And u didnt watch a single game. You dont know how many players miss layups and make bad shots.

Exactly,and that explanation although somewhat true is why he's not playing and doing interviews,everyone on here d-riding in the comments but there's NO EXCUSE for any pro player to have been playing like that,with Imans mentality when A.D. went out Russ should have dominated,and wtf is his excuse for Anthony I wonder?🙄

@@user-ew1xu4wq4k that goofy mf was out there hitting the side of the backboard. ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

@@user-ew1xu4wq4k you know what the fuck he was tryna say lmaoooo

With what?? A bunch of players on minimum contracts?? U can’t be serious.. and he actually averaged 26, 9 assists and 8 rebounds when lebron didn’t play.. Vogel was the one that put that team on the bottom starting with putting Westbrook in places on the court he never invision being at

Never the coach couldn’t coach that’s all 💯

Facts. People dont watch basketball they just like to talk like females

@@ShawnBrown-qh4md There's always crickets when you bring up bench players.....

Frm March on he literally was avg like 23 9 9 on like 50% shooting 😂

The examples you mentioned took years of adapting and training not 1 shit show of a season.

@@MoSuli96 Lebron and Kyrie clicked from day one. Lebron adapted his game so he could click with AD from day one.

@@TrueAnakinSkywalker I think your saying that because they won that year. But only because AD got Health Before the Bubble

@@SNOW_MAN_175 it’s not about them winning, they played well together. Kyrie and Lebron play well together, Ad and Lebron play well together and it didn’t take them years to understand how to make it work.

I agree with you mate 💯 lots of excuses been thrown around for Russ. That boy played absolutely horrible. The amount of missed shots, TOs, scrappy plays etc. We expected better and in all honesty it was a shitty call to have him over and now we stuck w his expensive ass

Bron is terrible off ball tho and it’s his team.

They were a comfortable 3-4 seed before he got hurt…

Lebrons not the goat that’s why, mj would’ve led this team to the finals

Russ never learned the Fineness part of the game. That's why everything looks so awkward when he throws it up. Its like his body isn't capable of doing a simple finger role without his whole arm spazzing the fuck out in some kind of weird motion

@@mikerhem1273 yea he didn’t learn the correct way. He just learned to make millions

@@ItzMalick I’ll watch

But Russ is a Broken Play. You can’t leave your feet with no plans for the ball.

U think doncic would be good fit instead of russ?

@@PD-qu8dq they need to get him in transition more

Yeah cause you play in the league right? 🤣

@@kevinmoore2820 when did you realize this....cause all of russ teams play at a faster pace than the lakers...even Beal said they had to speed up....ohhhhh they could because they are younger....russ always had turnovers and a bad shot his whole careee....but it's let's protect bron time so they trash russ

Heres the thing. Most of russ’s game is his explosiveness. Thsts why he won mvp. He was never a pure shooter, or even passer. He would always beat you because he was quicker and more powerful than you. Now that he’s older and he lost a bit of that step is becomes obvious that his value as a player decreases tremendously because he was NEVER a pure shooter or facilitator.

What do you mean by inconsistent?

Avg triple doubles in consecutive seasons is inconsistent??😂😂

@DAD leave the cone alone

Rondo

Glady, He willingly was traded to Houston. Not Because he was bad, but becuase Harden wanted Cp3 out, Russ wanted to go for a chip, and OKC was ready for a rebuild. Then he got traded to the Wizards, because he didn't like the culture of the Rockets ( Guys not watching film, guy not trying, etc) And then He Got traded to The Lakers after leading the Wizards to the playoffs becuase again, He wanted to get a ring and The Lakers felt they needed a change in their personel because the Lakers weren't good without Bron and Ad on the floor. At no point in those 4 years was Russ traded from a team because of how bad of a player he was that season. He had a career year towards the end of his Houston run and had a terrible matchup against Lebron and the Lakers, and Then Lead the Wizards to the playoffs by being himself and playing like how he always does.

Yes you can. He had games where he completely took over and they still lost because of bad rotations or the bench not doing their job. There was one game (and I forgot who they playing against) where he absolutely took over in the third quarter, with the help of DJ. And then after that their lineup was not played again. Mind you they were down I believe 10 or 15 points in the first half and for a portion of the third quarter. If K remember correctly the lineup that they played after that was a smaller one that just got cooked and they lose the game. Or games where he played well and it’s a very tight score in the final minute. Lakers will be tied or down 1 point and have a inbound play because of a foul or timeout, Melo is the lineup, and then on the inbound play you learn that coaching actually drew up nothing as Westbrook or somebody else gets the ball and it’s a pure iso. Nobody else is moving - at all. No screens. Nothing. Even if Melo was hot that game nothing was drawn up for him to get the ball. Defense doesn’t move. Contested brick shot. Lakers lose.

@@IncognitoSprax some games it almost looked like they lost purposely. Really. Had me become a conspiracist. They did not wanna give Monk his shine in the beginning because I suppose if he shined all of a sudden you can't afford him. Later on they had to play him in a bigger role. Took too long for Vogel to play the right players
