View Full Version : Do you guys think Russell Westbrook can carry a team by himself and be the MAN?

Yes or No? and why....

Edit: I guess what I mean is can he do it successfully. As in having a winning record and leading his team deep into the Playoffs.

Yes, he's good.

But carry is kinda open ended. He was the best player last year. I assume he already did it...do you define it differently?

Carry a team and be The Man? Sure. Win a title like that? No.

I don't think so. He'd get his big numbers, but they wouldn't translate to wins.

Yeah he could but current(without KD) OKC is not built around his strengths at all

Put him on a great defensive team in the East and he would excel

Do I think if you place him on the Sixers, he would lead them to the playoffs? Probably not. And I don't think Lebron, Durant, or Steph would be able to either.

I think if you put him on last year's Rockets team in place of Harden, the Rockets would still be in the playoffs and threatening.

Make the playoffs in the East aka win 38 games? I think they'd all make it

Build a team around him with great 3andD guy, stretch four and dominant big man and they will be contenders

Of course. He does last year if AD doesn't hit a lucky ass 3 earlier in the year. Plus the team was buried deep early without him and KD.

Out in the West, it would be hard for him to even get out of the 1st round.
