Who’s the better player: 2022 Westbrook or 2016 Kobe?

[Westbrook_Fan]

This is a tough one, ability/talent wise Westbrook was a little better but Kobe hogged the ball less so his shortcomings didn’t hurt the team as much :confusedshrug:


Both are/were arguably the worst player in the NBA in those seasons though

2011 Terry

Kobe was playing like granny but showed he was still elite in his last game.

the percentage change in production between the regular season and the playoff favors 2022 Westbrook.

A Westbrook fan? Welcome buddy :cheers:

Oh wait it's likely an alt that hates Westbrook and stans LeBron :oldlol: Westbrook was pretty good the last 2 games. Maybe he's turned the corner after the trading deadline :confusedshrug:

Put 2016 Kobe on a contender where he's only asked to be the 3rd guy and he could have still been a net-positive player IMO. There was no expectation for the Lakers to win games in 2016 so he could just mess around on offense and take every bad shot that he wanted. If he's the 3rd guy next to Bron & AD, he's getting wide open shots off the catch and not going 1 on 1 on every possession.

I'll take buddy hield over either of them 1 for 1

Tough one. 538 RAPTOR says Westbrook is worse on offense, better on defense somehow.

My gut said Kobe was better, apparently his defense was too foul.

Westbrook is probably slightly more pathetic than an indignant Kobe who refused to be a scrub quietly and was arrogant in taking up possessions and challenging better players to be better.

Westbrook is an uncoachable, somehow possibly even more indignant, retard with crazy arrogance and no self-awareness.


Both are a dumb fans idea of winning mentality.
