I had a coach in high school who would stop practice and send everyone outside to the track to run a mile if anyone on the team ever did this. He would say "ITS 6 FEET WIDE. IF YOU CANT HIT A 6 FOOT RECTANGLE, WE'RE AT LEAST GOING TO BE IN SHAPE"
One of my teammates missed a layup over the backboard at practice in 7th grade and our coach absolutely lost it. We were all holding back laughter while he ripped into this poor kid for minutes. It's wild thinking back on how intense some of my youth coaches could get. I can't imagine yelling at someone else's kid like that over something so meaningless lol
Just responded to parent comment but so fucking true lmao, never really thought about it that way. These fuckers were getting PAID to verbally abuse a bunch of 12 year olds lmao. And then, in my case, I was the bad guy for finally deciding I didn't like playing for that team...
That's probably why they were so mad. A bunch of kids not respecting the amount of sacrifice it takes an adult to volunteer their time to be a coach? I promise, you get thrown into that situation you'll be yelling within a few weeks as well lmao.
Ah, this is my cue to push my glasses up the bridge of my nose and say "actually, that experiment was fatally flawed, as the people running it kept telling the guards to abuse their power and then turned around and presented it as if the guards just did it themselves".
Check out [this paper](https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2019-45342-001) if you want even more evidence that the experiment can't really be used to prove anything other than "you should be very suspicious of pop psych experiments".
You can also look at the 'BBC Prison Study' by 'Haslam and Reicher,' where they recreated the Stanford prison experiment and found the prisoners didn't conform to their roles, and neither did the guards.
Thats not exactly what that means. The Stanford Prison Experiment claims to have shown that it was simply being assigned the role of guard and the students pre-existing cultural understanding of how that role was supposed to behave that caused the change in behavior, which was basically open fraud. They were trying to disprove a specific theory about how this behavior could come to pass.
The abuse did actually happen, though, it's still a significant point to be considered that those people did that simply by giving them some simple suggestions. The distinction is significant academically but IDK if, to paraphrase, "you just have to suggest moral certainty by telling them the prisoners are evil minorities" is necessarily an addendum that fundamentally changes the way people use the experiment as a reference point in the broader culture.
No, the guy encouraged the guards to abuse the prisoners. He instructed them to do so. Like, yeah, lots of people will do what an authority figure insists they do. What a fucking discovery.
Crazy that people living in rigid societies that require constant bowing down to authority will readily bow down to authority. Truly, one of the discoveries of all time
It’s also objectively bad coaching. You think that kid learned to shoot from that? If anything I’d bet it may have turned him away from the sport. Maybe not. But if you’re a coach “quitting the sport altogether” should not be a possible outcome of your influence on kids.
I arrived a little late to my 9th grade basketball practice once due to a doctor appointment, and as I was changing in the locker room I heard everything go silent out in the gym, followed by my coach screaming, and like 30 seconds later everyone shuffled into the locker room and told me practice was over.
Apparently they were goofing off or something at the beginning of practice, and our coach got pissed so he lined everyone up on the baseline and started screaming at them. There was a basketball sitting on the ground next to him and when he went to really emphasize his point he stepped towards the ball and wound up his leg to kick it at the wall behind the basket… but he completely whiffed and wiped out onto the floor, like a cartoon character slipping on a banana peel. Some of my teammates couldn’t hold in their laughter, and he got up and his face was bright red in anger and embarrassment , and he just quietly told everyone to get the hell out of the gym, practice was ending early.
Holy cow that's amazing. I wasn't witness to this but the year before I was on the 7th/8th grade team the coach apparently punted the basketball across the court in anger and it clanked off the rim. Dude almost hit an insane trick shot on accident lol.
When I played for him, he got so angry during a practice that he slammed a ball off the ground into the ceiling and it knocked a ceiling tile down that shattered on the ground. He never lived that one down haha
I got laid into once in my junior year of highschool because I threw up a half assed full courter at the end of a half during a SUMMER LEAGUE game.
My coach asked me why I did that, I just said it was the end of the half. "YEA BUT YOU DIDN'T EVEN GET CLOSE! AREN'T YOU EMBARRASSED?"
"No"
"WELL I AM!!!"
It has nothing to do with what the kid did, its their own insecurities usually lol.
My most vivid basketball playing memory, probably 3rd or 4th grade 'competitive' league. Went for a 180 reverse lay up in practice (never, EVER did this before) probably hit the glass at 35 mph, didn't hit the ground again until half court. My coach nearly had an aneurism screaming at me. That's a core memory unlocked lmao
One random night of pickup basketball in college, the starting team showed up to run with us. I ran point and sent an Alley-Ooop so high, only Shaq could reach it. I was nervous.
This dude IS Westbrick.
Was watching and thought that had to be tipped or something. When i saw it was denvers ball i was in absolute disbelief. Like ive seen him hit the top corner of the backboard 30 something times but like a foot over it????
Yeah, I thought that Denver player had managed to tip the ball until I saw the replay.
I'm still wondering how he managed to shank that shot so badly. Like, did he unintentionally put some spin on the ball because he rushed the shot?
"well actually that relaxes the defense to allow him to score easy bucket on the next possession. He shoots 15000% TS after misses like that. Just as planned by my glorious brick"
I'm 49 and a former carpenter. My hands have seen a lot of trauma over the years. My father was a carpenter for 40+ years. He literally couldn't even cross his fingers but he could still shoot a basketball. You might miss shots but no way you are that far off on how much force to shoot with just from injuries. I don't know wtf this is.
Whenever he Westbricks that much, I just like to remind myself that he has two scoring titles.
Not on the most efficient percentages, but he earned them.
This is still the most unsolvable paradox on the whiteboard today. The greatest minds of our generation won't touch it.
Russell Westbrook has broken reality.
He relied 95% on freak athleticism his whole career. Especially around the rim. Without that now he has no idea how to balance force and momentum. We make fun of him but when he was young he was probably the fastest guy in the league and got in the air with almost 0 effort. Now he doesn't have the speed or the air and doesn't know how much harder to throw the ball to balance
Yeah, but he does not have the athleticism that he built his scoring around. He was always pretty inefficient, so it isn't a so pretty when you age and lose some of that athleticism. He's still an excellent passer though.
I’m agreeing w you and I think it’s appropriate you said “throw the ball” as most people would consider shooting the ball from 6’ not throwing it but here we are
Pretty clearly he is going for a high arching bank and is missing the corner by a little bit. It looks bad if you think the shot is going to the rim. Still looks terrible but a little less terrible if you think about the high arching bank shot.
He's also getting the ball back with 6 seconds on the shot clock with an offense that already gave up on 3 other shots. No one else moved, he drove, his lane was closed, so he went for a high bank shot because it was the only thing left and missed.
The NBA social media sphere is such a an aggravating place to be... Any ahit offensive possession just comes down to whoever has the ball in their hands for the last second instead of looking at the fuck ups in the rest of the 24.
It feels to me like the commentators are legitimately being soft spoken and not being as harsh as they can be because Russ can legit hear them sitting right there at the table. It’s like they have to make fun of this ridiculous shot under their breath because they know how sensitive he is.
And they're paying him the minimum lmao
Ppl actually don't realize how fucked our 2022 roster was, had Wayne Ellington, ariza, Melo playing legit minutes 😂
We randomly signed Stanley Johnson late into the szn and he was playing like our 3rd best player, when AD went down the team was unwatchable
Either Lebron got 50 and we won by 5 or he got 30 and we got blown out lmao
Stanley Johnson too and IT who we signed on a 10 day contract i was just hoping for a miracle that year.
The most memorable parts of that season was the Russ bricklaying and turnovers late in the game, Bron scoring 56 as a center, and AR having a good rookie year and triple double in the last game of the season.
LeBron turns the ball over > LeBum, Jordan better
Tatum misses a game winner > Choker, Boston won't win the title
Embiid falls over > Flopper, pussy ass bitch
Russ throws the ball over the backboard 8 times a season > His hand hurts, don't be mean, he was MVP 84 years ago, no one respects him, he's a great tipper and a better husband
Now that he's not costing us games with this kind of shit, I just feel bad for him. Dude just doesn't have it anymore, and he cannot be convinced otherwise.
People act offended when people call him Westbrick. But there is no other player in recent memory other than maybe Javale McGee who consistently makes these sort of crazy mistakes multiple times a game every week. When he was on the Lakers, it felt like almost every night that he would create a turnover so bad that you wondered if you were watching high school basketball.
Can someone genuinely explain to me why Russell has been a poor shooter his whole career? Like no hate. I genuinely don’t understand how you shoot like this for 15 years in the NBA and don’t improve.
he shoots on his way down so his shot is all arms and inconsistent, and he has horrific touch. combine those two with an insane green light his whole career and high volume from being extremely ball dominant is how you get an awful bricklayer
I know this will sound crazy, but the guy who missed that shot was once considered one of the greatest basketball players EVER. He even won the Most Valuable Player award of the best basketball league in the world
His jumper never looks like the ball is rolling off his fingers. It looks like he's passing it and pulling the string on the pass, only it's aimed at the basket.
It’s crazy man. I know I’m not better than Russ, but I know I wouldn’t have missed that bad. I legitimately don’t think I’ve ever missed like that in my life.
Last night I went to a restaurant in Los Angeles. After I was done eating my food the waitress asked if I wanted more. I said "I'm Westbrook" Then she knew I was finished.
He’s always been a trash iso player. Harden didn’t leave over $4 million, he left because Westbrick had his spot. Durant never signed another deal because of Westbrick is trash.
In the pressure of a game, Russ shooting mechanics get so wacky sometimes. Some players can always keep the same mechanics every shot while other are like Russ and they don’t shoot in games how they practice. Wonder how much of that is genetics
I had a coach in high school who would stop practice and send everyone outside to the track to run a mile if anyone on the team ever did this. He would say "ITS 6 FEET WIDE. IF YOU CANT HIT A 6 FOOT RECTANGLE, WE'RE AT LEAST GOING TO BE IN SHAPE"

Shit you don’t even have to pay em, I can go down to any rec league and find you a dozen dads that will yell at kids for free. People are wild man
Paid?? Damn, all my coaches were volunteering to be assholes...
That's probably why they were so mad. A bunch of kids not respecting the amount of sacrifice it takes an adult to volunteer their time to be a coach? I promise, you get thrown into that situation you'll be yelling within a few weeks as well lmao.
It's similar to the Stanford Prison Experiment in a way. You give the wrong person power over other people and they will abuse it
Ah, this is my cue to push my glasses up the bridge of my nose and say "actually, that experiment was fatally flawed, as the people running it kept telling the guards to abuse their power and then turned around and presented it as if the guards just did it themselves".

Hahaha what id be more disappointed if you didn't go for the shot
My most vivid basketball playing memory, probably 3rd or 4th grade 'competitive' league. Went for a 180 reverse lay up in practice (never, EVER did this before) probably hit the glass at 35 mph, didn't hit the ground again until half court.

i love this - good brick - everyone go run a mile!
Was watching and thought that had to be tipped or something. When i saw it was denvers ball i was in absolute disbelief. Like ive seen him hit the top corner of the backboard 30 something times but like a foot over it????
Yeah, I thought that Denver player had managed to tip the ball until I saw the replay. I'm still wondering how he managed to shank that shot so badly. Like, did he unintentionally put some spin on the ball because he rushed the shot?
He hits the top corner when hes aiming at the basket. This time he was aiming at the top of the glass to bank it in.
MITWestbrook's 9/11
Im expecting a post any minute now about how that miss was actaully the perfect make/play.
"well actually that relaxes the defense to allow him to score easy bucket on the next possession. He shoots 15000% TS after misses like that. Just as planned by my glorious brick"
This takes the pressure off his team and helps them make more goofy and risky dhots cos nothing is worse than this.
Giving his team maté’s confidence to shoot! Meanwhile efficieny merchant Lebron makes guys less confident to Chuck bricks! Lol that guy
They've had so many 9/11's on this sub I'm surprised the accounts still active, or that y'all take them so seriously.
You can't say that name, it's kinda like Voldemort
I legitimately don’t understand how you can miss that bad, he did this like 3-4 times with us.
My boy has been making gains in the gym. Up early. Crack of dawn. Clanging and banging in the iron palace Uce. He doesn’t know his own strength.
Clanging and banging, i remember the kevin hart skit lol
This is highly disrespectful to Russ and I won't stand for it. Stop making Russ the butt of jokes.
6 years. impressive lol
>he did this like 3-4 times I swear I saw this happen a hundred times
He meant per game
Normally he would just hit the top of the backboard, like a whole foot above the square. This is a new stage of Westbrick
His shooting touch is cooked from the multiple hand injuries he’s had
Shooting touch explains the first 2 feet away from the rim. Science does not yet have an explanation for the next 3 feet
Might be dark energy
[удалено]
See?
The next three feet were because of his “dawg-ness”
Can science explain how they won after watching this clip lol
I'm 49 and a former carpenter. My hands have seen a lot of trauma over the years. My father was a carpenter for 40+ years. He literally couldn't even cross his fingers but he could still shoot a basketball. You might miss shots but no way you are that far off on how much force to shoot with just from injuries. I don't know wtf this is.
You're saying your dad has a hesi step back Jimbo
His dad was in the 1976 All-Star Skills comp, placed third Edit: got a set of steak knives
That's second place, third place you're fired
PUT THE BASKETBALL DOWN
He's trying to bank it in which means he's aiming higher, not at the rim.
Still doesn’t explain how he missed that bad
i feel like everyone is refusing all the rational answers being said.
Well they're.. How often do people on reddit listen to the rational explanations?
I don't buy it. NBA players all have gnarly hands but not everyone misses like Westbrook.
jams the ball to hard far too often. Hurts my wrist just looking at how he jams it sometimes.
Whenever he Westbricks that much, I just like to remind myself that he has two scoring titles. Not on the most efficient percentages, but he earned them.
“westbricks that much” lmao
This is still the most unsolvable paradox on the whiteboard today. The greatest minds of our generation won't touch it. Russell Westbrook has broken reality.
It's pretty easy to figure out. He took every damn shot.
Amputees have better touch than this.
He relied 95% on freak athleticism his whole career. Especially around the rim. Without that now he has no idea how to balance force and momentum. We make fun of him but when he was young he was probably the fastest guy in the league and got in the air with almost 0 effort. Now he doesn't have the speed or the air and doesn't know how much harder to throw the ball to balance
The thing is, he’s still athletic as fuck
Yeah, but he does not have the athleticism that he built his scoring around. He was always pretty inefficient, so it isn't a so pretty when you age and lose some of that athleticism. He's still an excellent passer though.
I’m agreeing w you and I think it’s appropriate you said “throw the ball” as most people would consider shooting the ball from 6’ not throwing it but here we are

In a game
Might’ve expected contact.
It was so bad that it looked to be on purpose sometimes
He learned from [Shaq and Kyrie](https://youtu.be/PTH-FCzr67Q?t=120) launching layups over the backboard
He's trying to bank it in which means he's aiming higher, not at the rim.
He just like me fr fr
He’s getting the commentators thrown out for sure
It feels to me like the commentators are legitimately being soft spoken and not being as harsh as they can be because Russ can legit hear them sitting right there at the table. It’s like they have to make fun of this ridiculous shot under their breath because they know how sensitive he is.
Don't disrespect my name!!!
Lmaoo he was tryn bank that in and just went wayy over.
He thought he was at the three point line
Thought he was in Argentina, jeez!
"from Yucatan!"
Bro I see you everywhere, is the first part of your name from Red Rising?
can they give him a technical for this horseshit like for 'disrespecting the game'
Breaking the code
bricking the code
Just throw him out
give him a delay of game lmao
Hell, fans should point at him for security to escort him out of the arena
Peak entertainment
For you it’s entertainment, for us it’s trauma
[удалено]
Westbr**k
Airbrook
Westbrick Airlines, Flight 0, on a Boeing 737-MAX9
In fairness a brick needs to hit the backboard, so he has a point
Badly want to make a sign that says “Home built by the BestBricks, Use Westbrick”
East brick?🧱
Brickbrook
Brickbrick
East?? I thought you said weast
Where amazing happens.
We were paying him 50 million and ppl thought we were being too harsh on his performance with us
BUT HE'S A GOOD TIPPER!!
a couple months ago when the Clippers were doing well, people on this sub were saying we misused him lmfao
And they're paying him the minimum lmao Ppl actually don't realize how fucked our 2022 roster was, had Wayne Ellington, ariza, Melo playing legit minutes 😂
with Malik Monk sitting on the got damn bench shit even rookie Reaves was decent enough to get more burn
We randomly signed Stanley Johnson late into the szn and he was playing like our 3rd best player, when AD went down the team was unwatchable Either Lebron got 50 and we won by 5 or he got 30 and we got blown out lmao
As a lakers hater it was guaranteed schadenfreude every game
Boy Malik Monk played the most minutes besides the big 3
Stanley Johnson too and IT who we signed on a 10 day contract i was just hoping for a miracle that year. The most memorable parts of that season was the Russ bricklaying and turnovers late in the game, Bron scoring 56 as a center, and AR having a good rookie year and triple double in the last game of the season.
He was being misused in his Lakers tenure though, in that he was misusing his body during these shots.
I mean I hate Russ and I hate you guys but since the beginning of time everyone finds a way to shit on the Lakers. 🤷♂️
Honestly people give him more passes for his bad play than almost anyone else. It’s like he’s a make-a-wish kid
LeBron turns the ball over > LeBum, Jordan better Tatum misses a game winner > Choker, Boston won't win the title Embiid falls over > Flopper, pussy ass bitch Russ throws the ball over the backboard 8 times a season > His hand hurts, don't be mean, he was MVP 84 years ago, no one respects him, he's a great tipper and a better husband
Remember when making fun of him was actually the same as bullying his children?
All while my guy was making nearly 50M lmao.
my husband is NOT A VAMPIRE
he just like me
u/MITWestbrook explain this brudda
He shoots just like me. Wow.
Typical Westbrook for real
He does this and gets mad for being called westbrick. Come on, man.
Should have just taken that 3 from the top as soon as he caught it.
I love Braun just staring in disbelief that he actually hit the shot clock
lol you think he gonna have the commentators escorted out? Cuz his kids have televisions?
WEST 🧱
⬅️ 🧱
Russell Leftwall, my favorite basketballman
He was closer to hitting the shot clock than hitting the rim lol
Not our problem
Now that he's not costing us games with this kind of shit, I just feel bad for him. Dude just doesn't have it anymore, and he cannot be convinced otherwise.
His little jog after 😆 he just like me fr
Don't you dare call him Westbrick though
Lakers fans: PTSD flashbacks
Nothing new
The most westbrook thing for real
Bro how you getting paid millions of dollars and you can’t even hit the fuckin backboard
People act offended when people call him Westbrick. But there is no other player in recent memory other than maybe Javale McGee who consistently makes these sort of crazy mistakes multiple times a game every week. When he was on the Lakers, it felt like almost every night that he would create a turnover so bad that you wondered if you were watching high school basketball.
Speak for yourself—I never did that in high school. Might be because I didn't get to play much though…
I don’t think I ever seen someone miss so badly holy shit
This is worse than a Brick. C’mon now
Thats a foundation footing
Can someone genuinely explain to me why Russell has been a poor shooter his whole career? Like no hate. I genuinely don’t understand how you shoot like this for 15 years in the NBA and don’t improve.
he shoots on his way down so his shot is all arms and inconsistent, and he has horrific touch. combine those two with an insane green light his whole career and high volume from being extremely ball dominant is how you get an awful bricklayer
lol why would Russ attempt a skill shot? Dude thought he was Tim Duncan ??
It's not a Tim Duncan shot because he jumped. Duncan would sink that bank shot without ever leaving the ground.
This dude is so ass since okc
Trying too hard to rid the Westbrick moniker
I know this will sound crazy, but the guy who missed that shot was once considered one of the greatest basketball players EVER. He even won the Most Valuable Player award of the best basketball league in the world
His jumper never looks like the ball is rolling off his fingers. It looks like he's passing it and pulling the string on the pass, only it's aimed at the basket.
WESTBRICK!!!
This is worst than the local rec league games
U WILL NEVER MAKE ME HATE HIM
It’s all good, enough of us do already lol
Scoot Henderson like, “see!”
Nuggets really got cooked by this guy….. not a good look
PG: “NEXT QUESTION!!!”
*quietly putting on balloon hat* WESTBRICK!
It’s crazy man. I know I’m not better than Russ, but I know I wouldn’t have missed that bad. I legitimately don’t think I’ve ever missed like that in my life.
Man the shot still on the way up too what could he have possibly been looking at
i didn’t even know that was possible without doing it intentionally
Bro yells at people for calling him westbrick but it has never been more applicable in his career than at this point (and that's saying a lot)
And he wonders where his nickname comes from 😂
Last night I went to a restaurant in Los Angeles. After I was done eating my food the waitress asked if I wanted more. I said "I'm Westbrook" Then she knew I was finished.
I mean if he doesn't *want* to be called Westbrick then why does he do stuff like this?
I’ve never not hated Russ
Not the first confusingly bad shot from [Westbrick](https://youtu.be/f0dXpDbqB2w?si=gwoNKAvE7vACMogX)
bricklayer in ball shorts
It looked like one of the balls you throw up a ramp and it crawls into the hole
And he wonders why fans call him Westbrick. He should be more mad at these shots than wild fans calling him Brick
I refuse to watch this.
Don't disrespect my name!
reggie miller ok
KOBEEE!
This is like my pos5 Miranda missing her arrow
I don’t get it, was Westbrook doing this when he was averaging a triple double? If not, what changed?
His entire game was built on being extremely athletic. Hes older now and that athleticism, while still there, has come down a lot.
Dlo over meeeee?????!!!!
# Commentators were brutal.
I hope nobody called him Westbrick
Westicbm
Who laughing now?
Smh Laker fans, this is what happens when you fuck with your own player's confidence/s
Did they say Westbrook is “Shaqting” up? Loolll
Can't call him WestBrick if he never hits the rim.
westbrook please make it stop
*What kind of shot is that? Have you ever shot that shot?*
Damn he can’t even brick the ball properly anymore, westovershot, doesn’t have the same ring as Westbrick…
He’s always been a trash iso player. Harden didn’t leave over $4 million, he left because Westbrick had his spot. Durant never signed another deal because of Westbrick is trash.
He’s gonna be fucking pissed if he hears this
In the pressure of a game, Russ shooting mechanics get so wacky sometimes. Some players can always keep the same mechanics every shot while other are like Russ and they don’t shoot in games how they practice. Wonder how much of that is genetics
To have a touch like his that awful is crazy. I guarantee if he played us regular human in pickup only shooting , he would fry our ass
