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 almost agree with all of this besides you saying he “fucked his own legacy”. His legacy is totally fine lmfao
His legacy is 100% cemented as a player.
But in discussions / rankings people will allwaaaaays make sure to bring up the move to the Warriors.
Really? He’s the best playing, nicest guy in the league you’d expect to be called Bitchmade.
I disagree… the difference in KD choosing golden state over choosing the Knicks for example is the difference in people talkin Lebron and Steph as the carriers of this generation vs KD bein right there with em… everyone that says KD is better than Steph has to answer for how Steph got 2 more rings on a HIS own team…
