    Harden's is FTs. Westbrook's is triple doubles. The one that stood out to me was MJ's 125 million dollar equivalent pay one year. Anyway.. kind of cool video.

    His Harden hate is evident, of course, but that segment on Bill Russell is just idiotic. Of course he would have a significantly better rings-to-playoffs games played ratio than someone like Jordan or Shaq. When Russell got his first 9 rings, 8 postseason wins could get you a ring, and the other 2 rings needed 11 wins. Nowadays you need 16. Jordan's 6 rings required 96 wins, while Bill Russell's first 6 required 48, exactly half as many.

    Russell was further aided by being a part of the greatest NBA dynasty ever, a team that regularly bulldozed others in the playoffs. Jordan's Bulls were great, but they were also

    Russell was great enough on his own without some douche like this having to exaggerate his greatness.
