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.

    Full 360 on Jordan Poole. Thought he was the worst the in the league the first couple years, full 180 and thought he looked good in one playoff run, full 180 again right after that the following season and on the wizards and think he’s terrible again

      I remember feeling so smug cause I totally believed in him for his first couple of tough seasons and then he became such a good looking fiery player.

      Now that smugness has gone entirely…

        lol I was the opposite. I was smug then thinking I might’ve been wrong, now back to being smug knowing it was an anomaly/fluke
