Lebron vs Westbrook. Who is better?

[Budadiiii]

Word broooo!!!

Westbrook > Durant tho

Wouldn't be surprised if both end up top 5 all time.

I know you Euro guys don't know much about American basketball, so I'll let you slide with the LeBron stuff.

You guys really like the feminine type of player.

In America, we enjoy masculine athletes like Jordan and Westbrook.

Pauk conveniently gets his internet connection back after the Cavs go on a 2 game winning streak.

Russell Westbrook is better than LeBron James

I’m serious. Oklahoma City point guard, Russell Westbrook, is a better basketball player than LeBron James and, furthermore, Westbrook’s career and game are starting to resemble…wait for it…Michael Jordan.

Early in Jordan’s career he was the best player on the floor, took the most shots, missed the most shots, and carried his team in games versus superior opponents. As many of us recall, Jordan’s Bulls often lost those crucial contests despite Jordan’s heroics and more often because of Jordan’s poor decisions. Jordan - as we all know now - learned to elevate his teammates, and in doing so, he elevated his own. Westbrook may develop in the same way. Who are we to assume he won’t?

Which leads me back to James. I’m a critic of James not because of his “Decision” theatrics, but rather the promise he has failed to keep. James is supposed to be the best player on the floor. He’s not. James is supposed to do things that nobody else can do. I mean that in the literal sense, the way Jordan played the game in a way that nobody else did, or could for that matter. But James is a physical freak. He’s more Shaq than Jordan. James’ athleticism is undeniably incredible, but there’s no wow-factor.

Like Jordan, Westbrook’s offensive game is one in which the crowd sees things they couldn’t image doing. The Westbrook wow-factor stems from the uniqueness of his repertoire. Lebron, however, does things that make a reasonable person say, “Well, if I was 6-foot-9, 270 lbs, I would bulldoze my way through James Harden too.” To borrow from football; James is the best fullback we’ve ever seen, but we were led to believe he was the best halfback.

Did you just copy that shit from here?

Westbrook is better at missing layups.

So Durant basically has a player better than prime LeBron on his team and still cant even make the Finals

to be fair, OKC has been derailed the last two seasons by injury.

last season was their best chance to make the Finals again (and obviously win the Finals this time) until westbrook went down.

nice catch bro, i meant ibaka..

the interesting thing about this thread, is that lebron and westbrook are pretty close right now.

but we know that Jordan was a big step up from westbrook - for example, we know that Jordan got 3 times as many dunks per season as Westbrook, and was basically a bigger, stronger, more powerful, and much smarter version of westbrook.

so with Jordan being a big step up from Westbrook, it gives us perspective on how he would look in today's game (easily the best player itl).

and given how close westbrook and lebron are right now (westbrook has the edge actually), westbrook's status as a Jordan mini-me lets us see that Jordan's advantage over Lebron must also be significant.

Lebron's PER is 24 right now... westbrook has the edge on lebron for sure.

like, we already know that it is a question between westbrook and durant as to who's team it is..

so imagine if jordan replaced westbrook - dunking 3 times as much as westbrook and being that much more dominant and smart: durant would instantly become Jordan's sidekick..

durant would be pippen with a better jumper...

And significantly worse defense
