So... Is it Westbrook's team now?

[3ball]

Would have never thought this could happen [COLOR="Red"]back in 2012-2014[/COLOR]

Hmmm... Were you one of the many ignoramuses on 2+2 who thought Kyrie was better than Westbrook back then?

When I said Westbrook was EASILY better, you guys thought I was clueless... But as it turns out - everything I said back then was spot on, and you guys had no clue about the game (and still don't).

Damn, you'd never think he'd get this good

Westbrook is poor man's Jordan with an inferior vertical:






Compare to regular Jordan:

you'd never think he'd get this good

... Just because YOU couldn't see Westbrook's ability, don't assume other people couldn't.

It makes sense that a poor man's Jordan would be the best player in the game (as of today) - Westbrook thrives in today's game, even though he's 3 inches shorter than Jordan, not nearly as smart, a much worse shooter, and can't jump as high.

Enjoy those facts

Westbrook is nowhere near the best player in the game you idiot, regardless of these 4 games of the playoffs.

Curry, Lebron, KD are all clearly better. Kahwi, CP3, and healthy Anthony Davis are all debatable.

And when WB had the team all to himself for the most part in 2015 he nearly averaged a triple double but missed the playoffs. His impact doesn't match his stats, which is very similar to Ordan.

Curry and Lebron> Ordan.

if Westbrook had a 40in vertical and didn't get stuffed by the rim he would probably be goat.

The only player in the league that is "clearly" better than Westbrook is Curry.

None of those guys are MUCH better than Westbrook, but Jordan was.

Jordan never missed the playoffs and went 6/6 with 6 FMVP's.

So you have no clue what you're talking about and sound like a crazy person saying crazy things.

Curry and Lebron> Ordan

This is Curry's first season being the NBA's best offensive player, so he has 9 more seasons (in a row) to catch MJ - therefore, he isn't worth comparing to Jordan.

As for Lebron, Jordan averaged 5-7 more ppg in the playoffs and Finals (respectively) on better efficiency across the board (TS, FG, ORtg).. There's never been a #1 option that averaged 5-7 more points on better efficiency that wasn't considered the FAR better player.

Jordan's 5-7 ppg advantage with better efficiency is worth more than Lebron's 1.0 assist advantage (Jordan had lower turnovers) and 2.5 defensive rebound edge (Jordan had higher offensive rebounds).

Ordan

It's statistical fact that Jordan was a much better shooter than Curry inside 20 feet:

Got damn, so much bullshit I don't even now where to start. He's clearly NEAR the best player in the game. How is he not?

The only one clearly better out of those listed is Curry. Stop it.

You're straight up trolling with the last part. Westbrook missed a ton of games himself last season in addition to KD missing games and still barely missed the play offs. When he was actually on the floor, he was easily on pace to making the play offs. Put down the pipe son and step your basketball knowledge up. Shit is embarrassing.

Clearly better, but not 'much' better. Just like 10 is clearly higher than 9, but not much higher...
