Westbrook is the worst shooter in NBA history from 3 point range with >2.5 attempts per game. He's ing awful. He has all the talent and athleticism in the world and refuses to be anything other than a me-first stat chaser.'cept for LeKing there ain't a got damn player in this league right now who could play 40+ minutes a night on both ends of the floor with the required intensity to be elite, tbh. Even Kiwi goes asthmatic when he was to chase shooters through screens in the playoffs for extended periods
It's almost like there was someone on the team that no one wanted to really play with.

I'd be happy with Porker getting any one of those stat lines.36-18-12 on the road in a W
First player in modern NBA history to post those numbers
Mike Malone benched Mudiay who was locking him up & had Nelson trying to guard him in the 4th quarter.36-18-12 on the road in a W
He didn't make a shot in OT & was stat padding by getting intentionally fouled after chasing rebounds.First player in modern NBA history to post those numbers
He's putting up sick numbers with an absolutely mind blowing usage rate. But his team continues to struggle vs even mediocre teams. It's taking Herculean efforts just to get wins vs average teams.
He's fun to watch (at least to me) because he always plays full speed, but I personally am surprised that OKC is so mediocre with a player as good as Russ at the helm.
Yep, just a stat chaser who doesn't care about winning. Theres a reason that even with his great "stats" that the teams record isn't good.He didn't make a shot in OT & was stat padding by getting intentionally fouled after chasing rebounds.
Meh, watered down NBA...
He's played 5 less seasons than Lebron
Rondo had 28 in his first 7 seasons & Grant Hill had 29 in his first 5 seasons.He's played 5 less seasons than Lebron

Let me know how many rings all them stats get him.36-18-12 on the road in a W
He's Baron Davis on steroids. His ceiling for success is getting out of the first round.
It's hard to knock Russ tbh.. I mean, he plays hard even if he has flaws. He is ridiculously good and having to carry a major load on a team that just lost a top 3 player.
Dudes a balla..don't think you guys realize how hard it is to do what he's doin..
He just got another TD... 27 pts 18 rebs 14 assists... wtf yw
If he even survives the season, they should change the logo, tbh..
I'm not a huge fan of his, I tried watching the Thunder's first 6 games or so and I was thinking to myself, wow, he's playing fantastic - why do people keep ragging on him. Then after that great start I watched a game or two more and he started turning the ball over, shooting bad shots, and I just couldn't watch it anymore. That stretch coincided with them losing a bunch of games.
I know he needs to do everything for them to win, but I really think even if they do lose or are trailing in a game, he doesn't have to jack up that many shots or try and force the issue so much, as at times he can end up with tons of turnovers from forcing the issue. If he could just cut a lot of those turnovers out of his game and try not to take so many bad shots, he'd be absolutely amazing. I also still wonder how he'd go without his athleticism? Do you guys think he'd still be a serviceable player without it?
What he is doing is really, really hard to do. The posters that are saying that are correct. Do not think that it's easy. Even if you get the full green light from your coach and team to take as many shots as you want while having the ball in your hands most of the time, it doesn't mean you can do what Russ is doing. Not many players can do this at all.

No one has ever done what this alpha nig is doing now
Give me the award now, tbh
Well, winning matters in this award, so that may end up hurting Russ even with a triple double. Especially if they barely make the playoffs.
He will be in the top 3 for MVP for sure but winning it when Lebron is almost averaging a triple double (that no one is even talking about that blows my mind) while winning a lot and proving to everyone in the finals how much better he is than everyone will be tough.
