Jazz
Born with 45 on 25 shots right now. Took Westbrook 18 more shots to get pretty much the same. LOL
Jazz
Final 2 games of the series:
45.5 PPG, 12.5 RPG and 6 APG
those numbers are God-like..
Only players to average 45 PPG + double-digit rebounds in consecutive playoff games? Wilt Chamberlain and Russ..
Where is Russ right now?Final 2 games of the series:

Why is that relevant? Other than LeBron, every great has been eliminated in the 1st round, it happens..
1st round exits are how we measure success apparently. Spot on take...
Take enough shots so you get enough points and you'll be great. No need to focus on winning.
Well done Russ, I get the Iverson comparison - played all out etc, but I reckon Westbrook tries to get his teammates involved where he can, no matter how limited they may be & therefore a less selfish player & probably more liked by his teammates.
Because triple doubles.
If he had never been past the 1st round, I'd understand some of the criticism, but he's been to the Finals + 3 WCFs, it's not like man hasn't done plenty of winning in his career..
That stage of his career might be over, it doesn't really matter, though..not everybody needs to win rings, there's more to basketball..
He has been with Durant and Harden. Without either of them he has not gotten past the first round.
Raw PPG numbers good now. I see you conventionally forgot to list his fg% as wellFinal 2 games of the series:

Winning not important now. Harlem, CN, and the rest of the fluffers can post all of stats they want. Fact still remains Russ can’t get out of the first round without Durant holding his hand
He's only had 2 opportunities..Jordan and Kobe couldn't do it in their first 3 attempts(Kobe even missed the playoffs)..
KG took 7 tries IIRC, doesn't make him any less of a legend..
He lost to the rockets who had marginally better (arguable) talent last year in 5 games, and just got punked by a rookie this year.
Durant won them that. The year RW went down with the knee injury, Durant was the one able to win a playoff series.
Only leaders since MJ:
Shaq
TD
Lebron
Dirk
Steph
And if Jordan had never won a le after that, would you be here proclaiming him the GOAT?
Of course not.
Westbrook is winning 0 les as the main dude on his team. You make it sound like he's just now entering his prime. WB is 30. He's been on stacked squads. He's made the Finals once and got destroyed.
He also single-handedly destroys his team's chances of winning more habitually than any other superstar I have ever seen in the league.
But what's most hilarious about your take is that you are proclaiming Westbrook is a god for scoring 46 points on 43 shots... in the same ing game that a ing rookie dropped 38 on Russ's squad - in 26 shots. While playing an entire quarter with 5 fouls. Oh, and despite being a rookie, he didn't take any shots like this:
2:05 Russell Westbrook misses 30-foot three point pullup jump shot 88 - 92
2 minutes left on the clock of a 4 point elimination game and Westbrook takes a 30 footer.
And you're sitting here ing defending him.
If any Spur in history every takes that ing shot, you are crucifying him in every single game thread for a year, regardless of what ridiculous stats they post otherwise.
42.8 Russell Westbrook misses 30-foot three point jumper 91 - 94
What's that? He did it again?
Seriously. What the . He's a 30% 3 point shooter.
And let's not forget the reason the Thunder were down 3-2 in the series -- because Westbrook let Ricky ing Rubio go off for a triple double.
I'd rather have Steve Nash on my team on defense. At least he ing tried.
Including his patented "airball multiple 3pt shots from way behind the arc early in the shot clock in a close game during the 4th quarter".Final 2 games of the series:

The guy's BBIQ is the opposite of a player like Draymond Green. That's why he's a loser.
Once again...
Harden
Durant
Ibaka
All continue in the playoffs.
Westbrook is done.
Harden 1st West
Durant 2nd West
Ibaka 1st East
Westbrook even with Paul George and Carmelo Anthony... 4th in the West and lost to the 5th seeded Jazz.
Last year Westbrook lost to the Rockets, who lost the WCSF to a team who lost Kawhi and Tony Parker.. at home, by a load.
Suddenly, after sucking his all last year and most of this one... ESPN pretends to have common ing sense:

Durbeta said it himself idkStephanie
I'd add Harden if he doesn't choke this year..I hate his game, but can't deny his greatness, as long as he avoids his annual choke..
too bad nobody outside of the analytics community realize how masterful and historically dominant Harden is at basketball. 3 MVP caliber seasons in 4 years, league MVP+Finals MVP (pending). He's like the 6th best perimeter player to ever play the game, realistically speaking but that might offend Bird fans
