He is this years MVP though but I do like that Westbrook is averaging a triple double for the THIRD STRAIGHT SEASON!!!
Westbrook plays hard and he distributes the ball so he isn't this "me, me, I , I" player everyone makes him out to be.
I am enjoying real ball players rather than people like John Wall. Now his counterpart, Beal, he can team ball.
For me the Triple Double is fast becoming the most over rated stat in basketball. Having watched basketball for nearly 40 years, what constitutes an assist in today's game is becoming looser and looser. I've seen assists awarded for a pass to a player on the 3 point line, who then dribbles, crosses a player and then drives to the basket. No way in hell was that ever an assist and it wasn't as little as 10 years ago. And this is not a go at Westbrook, but the league. I've seen ridiculous assists awarded to multiple players lots of times this year, who's passes should not have been awarded an assist.
Look at the frequency that triple doubles are occurring across the whole league, Eflrid Payton had 4 games in a row with Triple Doubles!!
And any team that allows their PG to get 20 boards, is playing for stats. The OKC players box out, with no intent on getting the rebound, unless Russ can't get to it. When the figures came out about 2 weeks ago on what Westbrook needed to average a Triple Double again for the year, I was sure that he would do everything he could to get those numbers, and I was right.
He is a VERY good player, and absolutely in the upper echelon in the NBA, but for me, he's not even the best player on his team and would not currently be in my Top 10
Not in any order
Giannis
Curry
Harden
Durant
AD
Kawhi
Embiid
PG
Lebron
Jokic
Lillard/Irving/Westbrook/KAT are all in the next group of players
Westbrook should be in there before Jokic or PG.
But eh. We have different opinions.
I think Beal is a stud too.
PG has been the difference make for OKC this year. I'm not big on Westbrook, as discussed in earlier posts. Great player, but cannot see him winning a title playing like he does currently.
Beal is a stud, but has never won anything. I'd like to see the Wizards build around him properly and hand him the keys as the number 1 option.
But as you say, everyone has their own opinions. Anyone being considered for the Top 10 is a great player, so not knocking them, just think other players are betterI'll ride the wave where it takes me

I love when GS gets some good ball movement going and starts raining 3's. It's demoralizing.
There was a game that Cleveland set the record for 3's and I was like "finally" they get it. They do this on a regular basis they can beat anybody.
Well, they never did that again... So they didn't "get it"...0 -
