My dude is playing out of his damn mind, but no way is this sustainable for more than 2 years tops. How will he adapt his game once his athleticism declines? defending a guard who shoots spot up 2 pointers is a defenders wet dream.. i dont want to see him turn into a spot up shooter.. what step can russy take to evolve his game from a skill standpoint into ?

back in the 90s you didn't have dudes jumping out the gym n shyt.. you had guys like stockton and payton who would show flashes of athleticism but overall just stick to running the offense through fundamental skills.

these new hybrid point guards like d rose get burned out in a flash..

so russy already has 2 surgery's... how long can he keep this up? :lupe:

Seriously nobody knows, it's kind of uncharted territory.

He's had 3 knee operations, actually.

As much as Rose relied on his athleticism, Westbrook does even moreso. Obviously they're different players with different mentalities, but when youre a great player and athleticism is 90% of your game, you have to make huge changes and put in a lot of work to rebuild your game to stay viable.

Wade is fukking crafty. There's no craftiness to Westbrook's game.
what did wade learn in his prime that he didn't know prior and is apart of his repertoire now? Dude still had a broke three

I still think Ginobili's game aged the most gracefully.

Russy WestGawd has a different soul that 85ers can't recognize. He's not meant be understood, he's a supreme hybrid. Make him your fav player like I did (after Kobe) and you'll soon recognize.
