We've seen players like him before ie Steve Francis & Stephan Marbury among others. Yet his career arch went slightly different, growing next to another superstar his age. I think we've seen the best of Russ, the numbers might still come but our criticism now is gonna double as his style of play doesn't result in winning basketball. It's so funny, he was 6 mins away from going to the finals, possibly winning a chip, and being viewed in our eye's in a completely different way. This happened to another player named Kyrie Irving, had LeBron not come back to Cleveland Kyrie's career would have most certainly been - that guy who make's good commercials and dribbles around alot but doesn't actually win.
This is a crossroads for Westbrook, a key moment. We could remember him as the dominant sidekick when he played next to Durant who was making the NBA All First Team. It's not far fetched to see him fall from the NBA elite as we crown other point guards ahead of him from here on out. Sure the numbers and allstar games will still be there, but the winning might not be. If he doesn't improve his decision making we could all be looking back at what once was (5 years later...Hey guys, remember the OKC Thunder?). Maybe he was never meant to be on a championship level team like the players I mentioned earlier. I guess we'll see...
