Russell Westbrook and Reggie Jackson beefed because there can only be one starting point guard
You know that power move where someone you’ve already met introduces themselves again like they have no idea who you are? Russell Westbrook basically did that to Reggie Jackson, but times 1,000.
Reggie Jackson was Russell Westbrook’s back up for 3.5 years. Yet, a little over half a year after they parted ways, Westbrook was asked about Jackson and simply responded, “Who?”
I can think of no colder response.
Now, that’s not to say Reggie Jackson was totally innocent in this beef. While teammates, he found ways to prod Westbrook. As opponents, he prodded even harder in the form of gratuitous celebrating.
The beef between Russell Westbrook and Reggie Jackson stemmed from the classic friction between a starter and his back up-- only it escalated quickly because both players have a unique variety of aggressive confidence.

This man did a windmill dunk after an interview saying he wouldn't play that game cuz of injuries 😂😂😂such a bossmove
In a game where the Thunder had 7 available players... I'd call that a selfish move not a boss move

Ok I love Russ but goaltending the free Qdoba half court shot is downright criminal
I thought it was more hilarious myself.
Some people say they're built different, Russ the type of man that just thinks different
Legendary in my eyes
@@LaughingJokerProd Off the court russ is the complete opposite which is hilarious
What the heck even is Qdoba, lol
Russell seems like he could beef with his shadow. Dudes so competitive.
Too often he crosses the line that separates competitive from psychotic.

Yee boi, swept his ass 4-0

Who hear after it took over 5 years to do that lol , lame ass butch
The Thunder had the absolute craziest streak of good drafting imaginable. Not one ring out of the deal tho.
And looks lile the streak is about to repeat itself.
They drafted good stars,but didn’t get good role players,that’s why they never got back to the championship
Honestly you can blame Westbrook!! THAT'S THE REASON WHY KD FINALLY LEFT HIM!! 💯💯
They probably would've if Thunder ownership hadn't gotten cheap with James Harden.

Who hear after Reggie Jackson wasn’t good enough to even back up a Westbrook
Me
Man Reggie was playing at an almost all star level those first couple years in Detroit, shame injuries derailed him for a while but look at him go now! Happy for him he always seemed like a nice guy
Facts and Around 2017 season wit Tobias and Drummond he was producing and they were top 5 in the east mid season. Unfortunately he injured his ankle and was out for rest of season. Tuff. Missed the playoffs too
He's still really good right now for the clippers.
Facts he was an all star snub 2017 when we went to the playoffs, but now he’s universally hated in Detroit.
I remember when he dropped 40 points on Damian Lillard. Drummond also dropped 29 points and 27 rebounds.

First semester psychology: "The people we dislike are the people who remind us most of ourselves."
And why is that
I can guarantee that this is not nearly as true as some people want it to be
What if you dislike no one? Does that mean you don't exist?
I dislike a few people because they are deadbeats, but I can’t imagine a world where I do that to my son.
Neh Jackson clearly isnt fit to for a 2, and he's nowhere near Russ as a 1. So, him starting was just not that great for the thunders. Thus, the dislike. Don't think Russ disliked him initially tho.

very impressive shooting last night

@@SecretBaseSBN Thanks for letting me know. I’m just asking because Collapse is my favorite content from you guys!
This is my favorite beef because I feel like I was in it. You missed an important day 1/5/2015. I only remember because I recorded it at the game. But the Thunder got stomped by the Warriors. And although the Warriors were in control the whole game, and KD finished with 14pts the heat kept being directed to Reggie. I was about 20 rows up with perfect view to the Warrior bench. At some point Reggie got pissed and started literally arguing with KD at a timeout. The get back on the court and Warriors are shooting free throws they’re stilling back and forth. And then Reggie was subs and started with other guys on the team. I remember saying he’s gonna be gone then I looked at my phone and saw Waiters was traded to the Thunder. Idk if Waiters deal went through before the game and Reggie was asking out because of it or if them getting stomped was the final straw and the Thunder accepted that night. But that was wild one! PS this is the longest comment I’ve ever posted #NBATMZ
It's crazy how in hindsight this video brought that memory out of you!! 💯💯

@@SomethingWithZ yea it was.
@trap Kelly it’s embarrassingly bad quality lol. Still have decent pics from that game tho.
Russ might be the current superstar who's had the best beefs over the last 10 years

Maybe Chris Paul
Not a superstar anymore
@@b.w.8909 Well he’s still a great player
Except for maybe dan gilbert vs. LeBron. They really need to do that episode soon.
Who is here after that crossover last night!
you and me
I’d just like to remind everyone that Kendrick Perkins averaged 4 points a night in 2015 and was shoving his point guard
Yes because scoring is all that matters
@@joedaddy8205 It’s not but by that point in his career Perkins was trash. Barely did anything
i love how randoms think nba teams, especially successful ones, would have any player on their roster that doesn’t contribute to their success
@@setapartprod really so why does Ben Simmonds still have a job when he is so useless
@@smartguy360because he has a massive contract that no team wants to have under their salary cap without having the actual player. Might as well have him on the team instead of not having them and having to pay a minimum contract on top of that as well
we saw it in all its glory last night!!!
Russ : "who" Reporter: "reggie jackson" Russ: "o..what happened" 😂😂😂
Whose here after Russ was caught tripping
On the court and in his mind!
Coming back to this with Reggie had a ring and russ had none.
Can you imagine all the stories Russ is gonna have when he retires. Hopefully he’s open to tell all about what happened with guys like KD and Reggie
Russ gonna replace Kenny on TNT.
@@twentyseven2948 I think draymond is gonna do it.
Russ is the true locker room cancer. Cant get along with anyone.
@@skylinez4793 never heard one teammate say one bad thing about him tho ?
@@skylinez4793 literally every teammate praisises him, Even when KD got caught with the burner he literally said “Take KD n Russ off that team they’re nothing”

Who’s back after Reggie torched that boy 🔥😂😂😂
Respect to role players like Reggie Jackson for not being scared to step up to a star
I think they need a Update for this video😂
Windmilling while being out due to injury, writing "starting point guard" on his shoes, crying tears of joy after being traded Reggie is Hall of Fame petty lmao
Don’t act like Westbrook ain’t petty either. He’s such a hothead and clearly has ego issues.
@@GameVids321 that’s what happens when you’re a star NBA player. Gotta keep inventing boogeymen to motivate yourself. Same thing Jordan and Shaq did
@@GameVids321 He definitely met his match with Westbrook in pettiness
Yep had to come back to this
Here after the superb layup game winner by Reggie against the Lakers. He's really found a home with the Clippers.
their roles kinda been swapped; russ getting hate from his own team and reggie is absolutely adored by his
I hate to admit it but reggie got the better of russ there. completely embarrassed him with that sick spin and hit the game winning layup off russ bone headed defense.

The 2008 Brazilian Gp deserves a rewinder.
Great idea, I don't think this channel covers F1/motorsports though.
I’d love to see motorsport and (more) soccer content, but I think they might need some writers and personalities that are invested in those sports. The few soccer videos haven’t had nearly the same passion behind them as something like this video, and I wouldn’t want motorsport vids to get produced in a similar way. I’d be all for Nico vs. Lewis or Materazzi/Zidane for beef history, rewinders, or whatever- but it’s gotta have the same passion as their videos for “traditional American” sports. Hell, F1 is basically a sport of teams figuring out how to legally break rules and then have rules specifically patched in to counter team cleverness- I’m sure there’s a ton of content just in that to explore.
Anyone here after Jackson won a ring before Russ?
Crazy how Reggie’s is on a contender team now and Russ on a first round exit team
Not really lmao it happens especially when u team up with the claw and pg but eh
And once again he’s playing in the shadow of 2 stars
after sucking 10 years? not much of a story
Being bought out by a damn lottery team that Reggie was on to being able to choose your destination and picking a top 5 team, while russ was traded. I would hope Reggie is on a contender

Not the same but I guess.
Or a collapse of the LeBron cavs championship team.
nah the 2010s clippers
I feel we need a collapse video of the Philadelphia Eagles after their Super Bowl win. They almost immediately imploded upon winning it and started falling apart after the win.
Reggie was okay with Detroit but he's doing really well for the Clips rn. I remember back when he was the backup for Westbrook, I had no idea they actually had any beef.
He got in trouble everywhere he went. The only reason he’s doing well is because he’s best friends with another trash human being - Paul George - who has a history of Belittling teammates and sleaze bag who cheats on his fiancé and gets a stripper pregnant. Trash attracts trash I guess.

Already watched this but I laugh that it recommended me this video after he torched Westbrook tonight 😂😂
😂
After this week, you might want to update the beef. It got a fresh dose of spice!
They should’ve traded Russ instead of Reggie. He had a better shooting % and was a better compliment to KD and it showed the season prior in KD’s mvp season. The main reason why he asked for a bigger role/starting was because of what he showed in that season
I came back here to watched those Collapse and unTITLEd videos of Secret Base and now I remember, Reggie is now a champion with the Nuggets!
This beef is still not over. Russ tried to trip Reggie after Reggie crossed him over in the Lakers Clippers game
This needs an update after Reggie Jackson put Russ through a spin cycle.

Was living in Oklahoma City during this and can confirm that the local sports radio would talk about Reggie Jackson being a locker room cancer all the time.

Its crazy to think that Reggie vs Westbrook used to be a debate
It wasn't. Reggie Jackson was the only person on the planet who thought he was better than Russ
