Westbrook averaged a near triple double season and no threads for him?

[BlakFrankWhite]

GOATbrook fam, im dissapointed in y'all, our Lord put up a 24/8/10 in only 34.3 MPG this season, got the FASTEST triple double in 60 years!..single handedly won the Thunder many games and yet none of you bothered making thread praising him


Westbrook had an All Time Great season..if Curry wasn't playing like he wasn't roided up to his tits, Westbrook woulda won MVP.

Because we've seen better.. Jordan averaged 33/8/8 on 54% in 1989..

And keep in mind that the 47-win Bulls would've missed the 45-win playoff cut without Jordan's 33/8/8.

So the 1989 roster was a LOTTERY roster that Jordan carried to 6 games with the world champions, just like Lebron did in 2015 - except Jordan led that lottery roster all season, while Lebron only led a lottery roster beginning in ECF.


Also, Jordan faced EVERY POSSESSION double-teaming in 1989 Playoffs, especially against the Pistons' "Jordan Rules" in ECF.. Here's an example from Game 6, starting at the 9 minute mark (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4W_0I82B18&t=1h21m11s) of 4th quarter - MJ is double-teamed 10 of 13 times he touched the ball to finish out the game.. All 10 double-teams shown are shown in gifs here (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11703590&postcount=88).

In comparison to Jordan being double-teamed 10+ times per QUARTER, Lebron was double-teamed a total of 18 times in the ENTIRE 2015 Finals:



"When James was double-teamed, the Cavaliers scored 5 points on 2-of-18 shooting".

Lol how do you average 33/8/8 and only win 47 games? Jordan has the least impact of any all time great, that's why he needed Pippen

MJ had no help - his supporting cast only added enough help on top of his 33/8/8 to win 47 games - compare that to Lebron's 2009 cast, who added enough help on top of his 28/8/7 to win 66 games.

The only possible reasons for the Cavs winning 19 more games despite Lebron's inferior production is that Lebron's supporting cast was better and/or they played inferior competition.. Obviously, the 19 additional wins aren't ONLY due to inferior competition - it's due to better supporting cast as well.

This is easily proven untrue - the Bulls were only a 6-seed in 1989 - their upsets of higher seeds in the 1st and 2nd Round shows the team was playing to maximum capacity and used a superior brand of basketball to overcome their favored opponents.. Otoh, Lebron's team was a heavily-favored 1-seed that was upset by a lower seed, showing the team was not playing to maximum capacity or a superior brand of basketball.

So Lebron wasn't driving his team to a superior brand of basketball or maximum capacity because his team underachieved, while Jordan's DID do those things, because his team OVERachieved.. :cheers:

Lol at you making excuses for not winning enough games

Seems like that's gonna be your go to move now after 73-9 :oldlol:

No need to ruin the thread for Westbrook - hes got probably his best season so far. Saddly he was injured last two seasons and it somehow ruined part of his prime, as he had some insane games last season. I hope for him to remain healthy in the post-season (Durant also) as OKC would need both Durant and Westbrook at 120 % in order to have at least a chance in the West.

Weak era where 37 year old people can drop 60.

I'd take Westbrook's season over Curry's in a heart beat.
All Curry does is come down the floor , look for his shot , if not there pass it off.
Westbrook has more dimes off his penetration drives , then curry has over bringing the ball down the floor ball hogging.

Shows you how limited stats can be when related to greatness

I had beef with some posters before, because they stanned players so hard the would go arguing even if someone actually agreed, but you're the first one I'll gladly put on my ingore list, because opposite to other trolls and stans you come into every thread about any player that plays well and start your goddamn ****ing stupid Jordan comparisons. Jordan is the GOAT, we all know it, but nobody ****ing cares about that shit that was settled 20 years ago.



That said any other year Westbrook would have a strong MVP case.

24/8/10 in 34 minutes man...yet Big O does this in one of the weakest eras for guards and people use his triple double seasons as an argument to put him top 10 all-time despite him winning squat except for that one year when a young Kareem came in and led the team to a championship.

You just described Kobe's career, minus the impressive stats

[stalkerforlife]

He got exposed when Durant got injured.

He can't win without Durant.

He's a stat padding fraud like Bran.

His was injured that season too. OKC started 3-12 last season...GOATbrook gonna goat.

Thunder team is absolute garbage without Durant and Russ. Even KD wont do much if GOATbrook got injured.
