kd/westbrook question

[swagga]

Who do you think will be more remembered in 15 years? KD or westbrook?

To me they look like a (much) less talented kobe/shaq duo, where one isn't extremely assertive but clearly more talented and dominant in the flow of the game while the other has the alpha/chucker mentality which is sometimes useful tbh.

For example many people consider kobe as being greater than shaq ... just asking.

Durant is the Shaq/Jordan of their relationship. Unless Westbrook wins an NBA MVP, and Finals MVP while playing for another team.

the question isn't about now, as the answer should be obvious. But IMO westbrook goes to LA soon and there he'll have his own team he will put up some crazy stats and plenty of highlights.

Also, fans remember alphaness more than value. E.g: barkley, iverson both were great players but they are not as valuable as malone or stockton. imo. Today they the first pair is MUCH more remembered. Fans remember players taking over and stats, they don't remember excellent steady play, professionalism, context, teammates or two way impact.

Example for stats out of context: When people compare barkley with malone they'll bring spg, bpg to say barkley is underrated defensively but they'll not bring up that barkley was attacked by design and malone wasn't or why this happened.

Durant. He is the better player and regardless of how 'alpha' Westbrook is, he is never going to reach the level Durant has done these past couple of seasons.

Westbrook doesn't have a larger than life personalty like Kobe, which is partly the reason for his popularity amongst the fans.

KD is the guy winning MVP's, and is easily the bigger name. So him.

I know you're a blatant troll, probably an alt of some Kobe or Durant fanboy, but this line of attack never makes sense to me. Everyone's favorite player has playoff chokejobs so anytime you make fun of another player for their chokejobs it really makes no sense. Hell, LeBron's playoff "chokejobs" thus far are "bigger" and more memorable simply because of how epically bad he choke din the 2011 Finals.

He also quit in 2010 and shat himself in 2007. Durant chokes here and then but I give him credit for putting up 25+ppg pretty much all of the time.

Yeah, but the point is every great player has choked in the playoffs to some extent. I know stans and trolls have their go to "he choked in _______" insults, but they've never made sense to me; not when the opposing fanbase can just as easily point out chokejobs of the other player.
