Who do you enjoy watch playing the most, and who has the sexiest game of the following PGs ... and why:

CP3
Steph Curry
Westbrook
Kyrie
Wall
Lillard

Curry

Westbrook

Lillard

CP3

Kyrie

Wall

In that order

[Budadiiii]

Westbrook - explosive athlete who plays balls to the wall. Plays with brute force and a ruthless competitor. He skies for rebounds over big men, sprints in the open court and isn't scared of contact. Plays with a lot of enthusiasm and is a vocal leader.

Curry - crafty and skilled. Can hit any shot on the floor at any time, fun to see a guy so skinny and weak have such a big impact. Enthusiastic player, has a lot of fun.

Wall - Big, strong, fast, and smooth. He seems to glide on the court and has really good touch. I really enjoy his drives to the rim, as he has insanely good body control and agility

Those are the three funnest to me.

Wall and Lillard shouldn't be on this list.

Curry

the rest

When Westbrook is on his A game (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_EkL1TfYc4), dude can be the funnest player to watch though. As others said, he's like an 80's Jordan lite.

Westbrook is my #1, when he's playing his best there's no one I'd rather watch. I love the constant hustle, the crazy athleticism, the controlled (at times) fury that he has when he plays, he has drive like no one else in the league. He's great at everything except for shooting the 3.

Curry would be my #2, dude can drop shots from anywhere on the court. Easily the best shooter in the league, combined with his passing ability he's great to watch on multiple levels.

CP3 is #3, possibly the best pure point guard on this list? He puts up solid points and converts efficiently but he's also got great handles and smooth passing. Lob city might not be enough to do anything in the playoffs but it's entertaining as hell.

Kyrie/Wall are both at the bottom, though I haven't seen all that much from Wall. I think I'd give Wall the edge over Kyrie as far as being fun to watch for his passing/drives but when Kyrie is on he can put on one hell of shooting display.

I don't consider Lillard fun to watch, apart from the clutch 3-pt shots that show up from time to time he just doesn't do anything for me.

[IncarceratedBob]

1. Tony Parker - Winning is entertaining to me.
2. Westbrook - Can shoot like Curry, handle like Irving and dunk like LaVine.
3. Curry - Greatest shooter in NBA history
4. Kyrie - No weakness in his offensive game.
5. Lillard - Poor man's KI.
6. Wall - Fast but can't shoot
7. CP3 - Rather die than watch this bitch play

[Jud]

1) Westbrook - Athletic as fuh. Can make that nice, quick pull-up or he'll just drive past you and jizz all over your center/forward with a nasty slam or a crazy, acrobatic layup.
2) Curry - Great shooter and very crafty
3) Kyrie - Love his handles and sweet moves
4) Wall - Very fast, and has nice finishes.
5) Lillard - Nice jumper, and really quick player.
6) CP3 - Cool passes, but that's it.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Curry has the most aesthetically pleasing game in the association.

Everything looks sexy. His dribble moves are quick and tight. He passes with a bit of Magic flair. He shoots from anywhere on the court and the fact that he doesn't need to be squared up or balanced just makes him make the game look that much easier (which is probably how I would describe high aesthetic basketball: makes the game look easy). Even on his drives, he does these prolonged, high arching scoop shots, high arching runners, crazy angled/english bank layups.

Essentially, he is as smooth as it comes in the current NBA.


Then probably Westbrook from a pure entertainment factor. Lillard and Kyrie next. Maybe Kyrie slightly above, as he plays like an uglier Steph, although I love watching Lillard when his shot is on. Wall. And finally CP3's flopping ass last.

[Milbuck]

Assuming they're all playing at their best...

Westbrook
Curry
Kyrie
Lillard
CP3
Wall

I hate putting Wall last, he's actually my 2nd or 3rd favorite of the bunch..but it just speaks to how stacked the position is right now.

Me neither. If I'm ranking:

1) CP3 (handle, passing, IQ, leadership, and scoring ability)
2) Kyrie (handle, attacking the bucket, layups, and jumper)
3) Westbrook (raw athleticism, and monkey mentality)
4) Steph Curry (handle, and set shot)
5) Wall (smoothness)
6) Lillard (IDK???)

Everybody citing Westbrook is interesting to me. I get his passion, explosion, and athleticism is something to behold to win people over. But his actual skills, menality, and game is fairly unattractive. It's brute force. His jumper, and handle is MUCH uglier than CP3, Kyrie, and Curry. And he's not even as smooth, or liquid body control wise like Wall.

Agreed but his dunks and facials have to put him a least top 3 to me

I was gonna mention this in my post..yeah, his game overall isn't that pretty. But his intensity, aggressiveness is something to watch, like in the WCF when he brutalized Parker. When he makes it his mission to destroy the other PG on both ends of the floor it's definitely entertaining. It's like watching a mini-Lebron that plays only on hate.

If we're taking all that mental/competitive stuff out of it..and looking only at their style of play..then yeah Curry and Kyrie are ahead of the pack, maybe CP3 too.

Steph Curry, no doubt. Dude is basketball porn.

Curry has the best no look passes too.

[SamuraiSWISH]

I think Kyrie's similar meek stature, and athleticism like Curry, makes his attacking handle to get to the rim more entertaining. Plus his ability to finish is more entertaining, some of his layups are really crafty. Takes more heart to me too to get to the basket than settle for jumpers.

Curry uses his handle to free up his set shot, be he's always going side to side. I don't understand why everyone bites so hard on his back and forth half spins or crossovers. He's that guy at the gym who doesn't have blow by speed, but does have handle ... uses back and forth crosses or moves on moves to always end up back at point A.

Just sit on the fakes, stay put, watch his midsection and contest his set shot.

It's just something about his mentality and how that translates into the game. It's true that there's not much smoothness in him compared to the other PGs on the list but I love the intensity he brings and the entertainment value that I see in it.

Like people have said before, Westbrook is like Jordan-lite when he is doing what he wants, which is often.

He is capable of dropping 50 points, he is capable of dropping 15 dimes, he is capable of outhustling and outrebounding big men for key rebounds, he is capable of playing the passing lanes for steals, he has even had games where he's hit like 6 threes in the 1st half. Basically he can do everything besides protect the paint, but even then I saw him doing that against Batum to save the game for OKC.

There are a lot of intangibles with him, his desire being the biggest.

In what sense is he even remotely comparable to 80's Jordan? Just the fact he's fearless trying to posterize people? Otherwise he's not nearly as skilled, smart, or effective. Not even as athletic. Not as quick, laterally, body dexterity. MJ also was ruthlessly competitive without coming off as a childish punk when things weren't going his way.

Athletic, incredible finishing ability, fearlessness attacking the basket, passion, etc. He's not 80's Jordan, more like an incredibly lite version minus the fundamentals. Loki made the comparison a few nights back, and he's the biggest Jordan guy on the board.

I don't see a similar finishing ability. Westbrook is all power explosion. MJ was artistry near the rim. Power, finesse, the dunks, the layups. The passion, fearlessness, and explosion to the cup is the only vague similarities to me. And he's still not as athletic. Not very similar to me. Care to direct me to Loki's post ... thanks, bro.

This.

Jordan had supreme, point guard athleticism in a big 6'6 frame

Extremely quick first step, two feet leaping ability, amazing stamina and durability.

He was also underrated strong, and had great body control and dexterity.




This is why I can't be a fan of him. He had the body of a God mixed with supreme fluidity and explosiveness. Had all the physical tools given to him, and was a cheat code in the league.


I'm more of a fan of the less athletic individuals, who use smarts, savvy, skills, and fundamentals to out think, outmanoeuvre, and out skill their opponents, like Stockton, Steve Nash, and LeBron

I can't seem to find the thread, but if you ask him, he'll tell you what's up.

And yeah, its not so much Westbrook's play resembling Jordan's as it is his approach in certain aspects that are Jordan-like. That game on Christmas for example.. Guy looked downright unstoppable taking it to the rack. Last I seen somebody play that way was Flash in his peak, who conversely had attributes akin to MJ.

My knock on Westbrook is his poor attitude. He has selfish tendencies, pouts, and relies heavily on his athleticism (bizarro Jordan maybe? :oldlol:)

[Graviton]

The fact Westbrook has multiple personalities is what makes him the most entertaining. Sometimes you will see Goatbrook out there, sometimes Chuckbrook, sometimes Westbrick, sometimes Swagbrook. You never know what you gonna get, but you will be entertained regardless.

His ninja turtle facial expressions when he is angry, pumped or happy are hilarious.
