Russell Westbrook 2016 Jordan Commercial: “Now I Do What I Want”
This did numbers back then
Even as a Russ hater, this still hit
The song is ear bleedingly bad
you’re old as shit bro we don’t care
This song is literally a decade old bro, us old heads are the ones who were bumping this back in the day 😂
Nah I was young when this was around. Uzi has always been ass
I could see saying this hook “slaps” if I was like 8 and my mom grounded me
but instead youre 42 balding and getting divorced soon
Hell, no dude this guy’s like 60
0 for 3 son
Yer out!
If you’re out here doing strike 3 calls you gotta be at least 60. 😂
Listen here pal, youre on thin ice! Barking up the wrong tree. Ill make you yesterday’s news bucko
You’re not young now and you weren’t young then, it’s okay
Apparently young = liking shitty music
Mid 2010s Uzi slander is wild
I agree this shit was ass back then and is still bad now
I don’t know how this has so many downvotes lmao. It’s so incredibly bad 😂
MF because you are either lame or old as fuck and lame.
Neither of those would even make sense. The song is 10 years old and lil uzi is pure ass
Russ lowkey got some dance moves out there in this commercial
I remember the clips of him doing this during warm ups every game. There would be at least one camera on him dancing on the bench
I remember when Charlie Villanueva walked in between Westbrook and Cam Payne dancing and Westbrook shoves Villanueva out and continues dancing lol
Elite hand and arm work. I never liked his particular style, but I always respected the coordination.
He definitely balled out that year for sure! But those sneakers were ASS 😂😅
Fr his sneaks got me bullied for a week straight in middle school lol
Jesus Christ I’m old
Same
lmao i’m 20 and i feel old now..
Stfu and go back to recess
I encourage you to try and view yourself as incredibly young and to take advantage of it and go do as much cool shit as you can.
What happened after a week?

Stop wearing em popped out in them a few times after but not as frequent as i was before
he has great performance shoes tho. Now every signature athlete shoe from Jordan is buns. Zion, tatums, decent one is luka only..
I don’t know what it is about them exactly (maybe a carbon shank?) but they’re one of the few shoes that support my very high arches. I have 3 different models plus his ‘28 and ‘29 color way and they’re so comfy.

i agree tho. lol . i have liren 6v2, wow12s and redhare9 ultra. Lining is amazing, best brand in the market right now..
one of the most 2016 pieces of media ever
Getting old sucks
Looking back… The summer of 2016 was probably the best summer of the decade. This was the Pokemon Go summer. It had a soundtrack, Drake dropped Summer 16 earlier that year. And of course it was before Trump was elected, the last summer before everything changed. I can’t believe it’s been ten years.
Everyone loved to complain about 2016 being the worst year ever
We didn’t know just how bad it was going to get
It was the beginning of the end
Every summer has a soundtrack lol, you just associate that particular one with the fun stuff you did while young.
For me it was Chance and Kanye (I’m also from Chicago), and that summer was fun for me too, but nothing about that year specifically was any better or worse than any other 2010s year, we were just at prime age for enjoying summer activities when it came around
Hate to break it to you but unless you put in a concerted effort to finding the joy in life, you’ll never feel that way about a summer again, old man. Death comes faster and faster every year.
This
It was funny seeing Westbrook acting like this wasn’t about kd when he was asked about it
People act like he wrote the treatment for the commercial…
I mean…… That’s fair. Yeah. It’s not like there was clear animosity before this. This was the starting point. I can’t remember if this was before “can’t win with these cats”
Yeah this was the start and then they both blow it off in interviews but then 🧁
They played this the first commercial break of KDs first game with Golden State lol
2016 Uzi has remained the greatest run of any musician in my life. I was 1000% in the peak demographic for it but man any time I hear it I get teleported back
You must be so young lol, which is all good.
I guess. I’m married with a house and mortgage now so I don’t think of myself as “so young” anymore
You probably grew up watching Kanye, Wayne, Em…
You can’t be older than like 26 based on how you’re talking in here, so you’re still very young lol.
Older than that but not by much. I guess being a home owner where I talk about my lawn and shit with the 35+ year old neighbors I have makes me feel old.

Bro what
He said JESUS SAVES! 🙌🙌🙌 HE AINT BLOW HIS MONEY! HE’S GOT IT IN A HIGH YIELD BOII
you know ball, wish i could go back to that energy one more time
Getting my license and blasting “I can drive” is a top 1 moment in my life I think
The Westbrook 0’s are one of my favorite leisurewear sneakers of all time. I still have a pair of the olive snakeskins and the navy. It’s wild it’s been a decade.
Life was so much better back then
I wish it was still 2016. Shit has gone downhill this decade
This shit was iconic smh
The 3 piece combo of dancers beginning at 0:34 and then the old guy hopping up to scream makes me lose it every time
That’s Mike Brown, NBA champ
Is that not a woman? haha
Brodie put his real brodie in the commercial and flexed his wedding ring
I miss this era of dancing. Cookin and hitting the folks :’) the why nots were my everyday sneaks and 2016 uzi is goated. Happy trails Russ u did your thing
Sweet sweet 2016
I love that moment Westbrook just shoved dude out the way during the pre game dance intros. Shit was absolutely diabolical.
Everyone was like now the shackles are off he’s about to be unleashed then he drops this fire
the passage of time is something else man
It’s wild to gain perspective on Game of Zones jokes years later
“Good bye Kevin… now I do what I want”
What a time to be a basketball fan
Banger
Am I krumping? Am I krumping now?
IT DONT MATTER POCKETS FATTERRRR
lmao
Bro, I saw this commercial and knew he was gonna go crazy. One of the best basketball commercials in recent memory, nothing has been quite like this
Nice jeans Russ
I miss 2016 man
Can’t act like this season wasn’t hype, def was the most narrative driven MVP ever tho
He has an infectious smile lol
I swear I thought this quote was from the Game of Zones episode.
Uzi is timeless. 🔥
Such a legendary year. Storylines, hoops, music, just elite
WHY NOT?
Thank you Lil Uzi Vert
such an overrated year but i miss the vibe of it so much. last of the real world pre covid 🥲
2016 was tight as fuck
such an overrated year
2016 was the best year ever and we will never achieve levels of peak like that again.
#DicksOutforHarambe
Well there is a big obese shadow hanging over that year.
sorry to hear that
year was not overrated ngl, can’t even list all the cool shit that happened that year
back when okc was like able
Who greenlit this shit?
Westbrook
That’s one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard
Well he did what he wanted
corny. so, SO corny you know it was his idea
Man this is cringe
