The third best PG in the league is averaging historic stats.

[Fallen Angel]

Only three players in NBA History have averaged 20 points, 10 assists, and 7 rebounds in a single season.

Oscar Robertson
Magic Johnson
and Russell Westbrook

Keep in mind that Westbrook is considered the third best player in his position behind Stephen Curry and Chris Paul. Either Westbrook is underrated or this era of PGs is just at an all-time level.

or its just empty stats

Westbrook is so gotdamn overrated

[Showtime80']

This is the greatest era for midget SG's forced to play score first PG's!. As far as true PG's, this era can't even touch the late 80's:

Magic
Isaiah
Stockton
Lever
DJ
KJ
Price
Porter
Jackson
Cheeks
Rivers
Harper

Westbrick is the bastard child of the early 2000's school of shoot first chucking PG's like Francis, Marbury and Baron Davis, terrible decision makers who stagnated offenses. The Jason Kidd/Nash school of PG is basically dead and buried and that along with the death of the true dominant centers is the reason why teams have been reduced to jacking up 30+ threes a game! The flow on offenses has become extinct!

Yeah man, that's empty stats if I've ever seen them.

Westbrook gonna retire as a top 10 PG of all time :pimp:

Not empty, 25%.

3rd best?

[GrapeApe]

I think rebounds are overrated for a PG, but 24 ppg and 10 apg is pretty crazy. He's also having the most efficient season of his career at 55%TS. His turnovers are high but his ast/to ratio is very solid. I knew he was having a great season but I honestly didn't realize just HOW great it was. I don't know how anyone can consider Paul to be better. Aside from Paul's slight edge in efficiency, Westbrook is better across the board.

Chris Paul still being considered a top 2 PG makes me laugh everytime. Guy hasn't accomplish anything in the postseason and has always been vastly overrated.

westbrook> paul with ease

Oscar Robertson played in primitive basketball.

[feyki]

He has below than lg average TS and with 6+ TO's per 100 poss .

He's in his peak right now . With solid scoring , amazing playmaking effort and good rebounding . But it's just regular season . See him in playoffs .

Yeah, he always raises his play in the playoffs. Don't get it twisted.

What? His 55.5% TS is significantly higher than the league average of 54.1%.

And his overall efficiency (115 ORTG) is excellent.

Yes , my bad . But %55 TS doesn't sounds good . His playmaking effort is excellent , that's why he has high Ortg .

So , let's see him in playoffs :confusedshrug: .

Great point. People say this is the current era of PGs but the 80s were stocked (no pun) with amazing PG talent. TRUE PG talent. Mark Price was one of the original 50/40/90 guys.
