"Take away Michael Jordan's midrange game and post game, and you get Westbrook"

[Derivative]

If you take away Michael Jordan's godlike midrange and post game, what you get is Russell Westbrook.


True.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

also take away 3 inches of height and several IQ points

[JtotheIzzo]

Westbrook is a 454 V8, MJ is an Italian sports car.

[Budadiiii]

Also take away the fact that he wasn't responsible for his fathers death and likely has a larger dick.

[turnaroundJ]

-2 inches height, +2 inches length

[Magic731]

Wtf is this stupid shit? Take away a players strengths and you get left with a lesser player? Unbelievable. Take away Kyle Korver's jump shot and you get left with some tall white dude who no one has heard of.

[kNIOKAS]

and also take away juggernaugt defensive abilities...

I would like Westbrook but I think his game is not what the basketball should be... Kids got wrong idea watching MJ play, They are going to get even more so watching Westbrook.

Like another poster said, even though MJ played guard and he could handle the ball as well as anyone, what made him unique is that he finished like a big man around the rim, and had a big man-type dunking and finishing style, as shown in the GIF.. and MJ was one of those few wing players in history that dunked as often as a big man.

We have dunk stats from the 80's and 90's from old Philadelpia 76'er media guides (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=352399), and the only 1st option wing players that routinely get over 100 dunks per season have been MJ, Dr. J, Wade, Lebron, Durant, Dominique and Drexler.

Guys like Kobe, Tmac, Westbrook and Paul George get literally half the number of dunks each season because they don't combine their style and hops with enough power and/or skill.. Jordan's dunks over David Robinson (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=10933714&postcount=108) are a great example of his big-man type power and style combined with guard-like quickness.

Ironic how Westbrook has a very good midrange and post game.

Its because Jordan has absurdly big hands that he is able to finish like that around the rim.

[Quickening]

His dick must look even smaller next to those huge paws :biggums:

[pauk]

So you think Russell has the same DPOY defense MJ had? Including size and oh... IQ, intangibles...

Funny how nobody mentioned defense...

[Harison]

MJ would have to be stripped naked from most of his abilities and mental edge for comparison with Westbrook to work. :confusedshrug:

[STATUTORY]

take off 2 inches from his dick and he would still have made MJ timid

asthon kutcher?

[Blue&Orange]

Sometimes i wonder if retards on this forum understand this is a BASKETBALL forum. I't athletic this athletic that, why don't theses f@gs just go to some athletics forum?


Yes let's remove the basketball skills from all the NBA players and turn this forum on a gay forum... it's not like it's almost there, you got the Lebron family right now after all.


On topic, even in the realms of athleticism, you see how Jordan attacked the basket and see how Westbrook attacks the basket, and if you can't spot the difference than...

[OldSchoolBBall]

And footwork, and triple-threat game, and off ball game, and defense etc.

[bizil]

The player Westbrook reminds me of in many ways is David Thompson. They are both in that 6'3 range, freakish athletes, and unstoppable scorers. Westbrook just happens to play the PG. Thompson was a better shooter but Russ's midrange game has become a threat.

[ImKobe]

Please. Westbrook's skillset is NOTHING like Jordan's.

[FKAri]

What about MJ's intelligence, patience and poise? That's like the biggest gap between them :lol

[Smoke117]

Except you don't. Jordans quickness, nimbleness, and first step destroys Westbrooks.

[Asukal]

His dick must look even smaller next to those huge paws :biggums:

How did he spank the monkey? :confusedshrug:

[Marchesk]

Westbrook needs the ball in his hand to make passes. Jordan much better off ball passer.

[STATUTORY]

Westbrook needs the ball in his hand to make passes.

:biggums:
can u explain how u make a pass without the ball in your hand?
