    There are different forms of quitting. Demanding a trade at least gives the team an option. WB is a facade that OKC meth heads seem to believe in, yet they called Durant "Mr Unreliable". I guess stats are the new detail of the day, wins are secondary.

    So you think the way Westbrook has been playing lately represents a different form of quitting?

    Ruminating around a calendar with the same old gang of Media, front office types and the lion's share of rank & file members proved not to be Westbrook's bill of fare. "Mr Unreliable" is afraid. Russ is not.

    I think he's saying that Westbrook's play is symbolic of him quitting on his teammates in-game.

    I think...

    He's definitely removing any shred of confidence or rhythm his teammates will have in a crunch time situation. "Give me the ball and get out of the way." Doesn't exactly seem like a great motto for teamwork in the post-season, eh?

    If you've decided that your team cannot win a ring and you just want yours, you bet your red neck.

    Being the Kobe fan you are, it's not surprising you'd gravitate toward Russ. Frauds find each other in a crowd.

    Harsh. Dude gets 17 assists still has to hear foolishness. He passes in the clutch after missing open guys vs Bulls still not good enough to some ...
    Dude is relentless. Sure you are right he won't last but while he can he should try and dominate

    His usage rate is historically high. He gets 17 assists because he always has to have the damn ball in his hands. He doesn't function otherwise. Even when Durant is playing, 75%+ of the games you can make a very safe bet who's going to take the most shots on the team. If someone were to put a gun to your head and say, "The Thunder better win this game", who do you want taking 25+ shots? Westbrook or KD?

    It's true. He is a great individual player.
    Nobody can say otherwise.
    Great, great individual player. One of the absolute best.

    But not the guy that rings are built around.
    He's close to transcendent like Jordan who beat the odds, but not quite there.

    And when you aren't "quite there" and play like you are- that's a detriment.
    He is a tremendous asset to his team. Any team he can be on, but he is not going to bring home a le himself.
    And that is what he tries to do. Play like HE is going to bring a le to OKC.

    Its really an insult to the legend of Kobe to compare a fly by night role player like Russell to Kobe. MJ is the only playe that was on Kobe's level.
