Never been a Westbrook fan, but he's the best player in the world...

[stalkerforlife]

It is well documented that I have never liked Westbrook and I thought he was detrimental to Durant's success.

However, times have changed.

Westbrook is the best player in the world and that is absolutely shocking to me. Dude is the closest thing to Kobe we have seen in a long time. He's alpha as phuck and completely unafraid of the moment.

Agreed. Elite at his position in all aspects of the game.

And now that OKC isn't playing either Fisher, Sefolosha, or Butler 20-30 minutes a night, it helps out a ton. It's really the biggest difference in his play. He's not shooting over 2-3 defenders with a crowded paint and Sefolosha and Perkins left open.

I'd say he's second best after Anthony Davis.

we'll see come PO, if he continues this way, teams will put relevant effort into deveoloping plans to stop him. Not sure if he has the bball IQ to survive those nights, he's a one gear only guy

we'll see come PO

you mean like we did last year when he was the best player in the playoffs?

that doesn't make sense, OKC didn't win the ring

or are you talking about individual stats as if they mattered?

You're right, Kawhi Leonard was the best player in the playoffs...

[AussieG]

Athletically, he's up there. Beast mode. Fundamentals? Not sure.

I am a huge LeBron James fan and very big Big Dusty Russy fan. Russy is the best in the world, I must admit
