I will freely admit I was sour on Westbrook
I thought he was a shot Jackin for numbers type ala Rose, Melo.... Others that I won't mention for obvious reasons.
Then the press on him was ball hog. I don't see too many Thunder games, so I relied on some of the talk.
What bothered me about my own opinion was that he keeps putting up these triple doubles. How can this be a selfish player?
When I heard this man say he is putting up too many shots, I was completely impressed. Then he actually stuck to in in the game. They have list 1 game since.
In this era, players have been considered great for just getting their numbers. They claim to want to win but it doesn't show in their play. I have seen players refuse to shoot and lose a series rather than make teammates better. Some other player will continue to shoot their team out the game then trash teammates through back channels rather than accept responsibility for selfish play.
Win or lose, Westbrook had arrived and cannot be denied.
I love watching him play.
