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.
Yeh agreed. Im the exact opposite. Favorite player on the thunder and tben broke basketball for 3 years cuz hes a lil bitch who joined the 73-9 warriors after not being able to beat them. And he DIDNT embrace the villain role. He constantly played the victim card and tried improving the publics image of him with burner accounts on Twitter. Like, the exact opposite of embracing the villain role lol
I will never, ever understand why KD is a bitch for joining the Warriors, but Steph isn’t a bitch for recruiting him there. It’s the same exact thing.
