Westbrook was never one of my favorite players during most of his prime, but seeing how Westbrook has handled his last few years helped me gain a lot of respect for him.

Sure he never was the lead guy on a championship team, but his competitiveness is amazing. He played his best through all the Lakers drama. Westbrook also put up 37 in a playoff game in the most recent playoffs. I’m quite a huge fan of this late-career Westbrook.

Kobe - when I first started following the NBA as a kid, Kobe was the player I liked to root against. Near the end of his career I had nothing but love for him.

    I had the exact opposite thing with Bron. I though he was unfairly criticized for moving out of Cleveland as a free agent. He didn’t do anything wrong, and didn’t bitch out with a trade demand - he simply used the proper tools available in his disposal. I didn’t even really hate The Decision, the man did it for charity iirc.

    But now I actively dislike him, because it’s hard to find someone with more misguided opinions. Every time he opens his mouth, he just vomits stupidity and hypocrisy.
