Any Russell Westbrook love? @RayanOO @RobertoTheOharaSurvivor @Juanpiz @John Akainu @Nidai_Kitetsu @Jiihad @RiShin @MonochromeYoru

he should have stayed with Denver and accept a 6th Man/Role Player. had at least 3 more yrs but retired out of pride and not wanting to be a bench warmer 🤕

The man was fun and even the player was fun

but I don’t consider him a legend

I don’t value the triple double really high especially when it’s forced like that

a good player with a great personality and energy

but I didn’t want him anywhere near any of my teams

he is a legend at the end of the day for what he accomplished in his career as a PG. Westbrook not winning a ring should not be a slight against him tbh

I don’t care that he didn’t win a ring

but his game play and his « accomplishments » don’t mean much to me

What will be remembered about RW ? The numerous TD and the seasons in TD.

And I think it’s shit. I think TDs for RW didn’t mean he could do everything on the field, it meant it was a goal for him each game to make a new TD, and he forced these. The whole team played for him to score TD every night. It was tiresome

I put lot more stock in Jokic scoring TD and winning than RW scoring TDs for nothing

If the 76ers manage to end 2nd seed it would be a fucking great season

same for the Heat with the 3rd seed.

Honestly I don’t believe both team will perform that well and be 2 and 3. But let’s see

Here’s the thing LeBron on those Flawed Lakers teams , was winning 50+ games in the West. Now imagine you put Bron in a roster with actual Talent, with actual athletes and not guys who are defensive liabilities like Luka and Austin Reaves.
Miami Heat has elite basketball culture/staff, infact they along with the Celtics and Golden State Warriors have the Best Basketball Cultures, they know how to maximize rosters, they can turn Copper into Gold,they can turn a G League Player into a 6th Man of The Year candidate. Giving a Team like Miami actual Superstar Talent is very scary for the league honestly. Especially considering what they’ve been able to do with such little talent on their Roster. The 2020 Bubble, The 2022- 2023 Run etc.
