Russell Westbrook 49
What has he done to be that high already
At the very least he's got one of the greatest peaks at the position. Him from the '14 PS to now is on par with anything Isiah has ever done and clearly better than Kidd, at least the way that I see it
Ofc he doesn't really have longevity or a lot of accolades so you can justifiably dock him for that if its part of your criteria for all time greats

Top 75 All-Time
Paul Pierce was better than Kidd and Walt Frazier too. I'm done with this list.
So I guess Steve Nash is a top 30 player all-time, huh? Get the fukk outta here.. Nash wasn't better than Pierce either. I hate how overrated some of these players are.

not even in the same class as isaiah or kidd when you look past his gawdy stats.
all those triple-doubles and the thunder couldnt even get into the playoffs last year.
paul pierce ranked too high.
win while youre ahead breh.
Good. Now
Do you even know why the Thunder missed the playoffs last season?
Nah, I'm just pointing out your stupidity. As usual.
They didn't need Durant to make the playoffs. Westbrook missed 15/16 games near the start of the season (they went 5-11), and Ibaka missed the last 18 games of the season (10-8) - over that time they had one of the worst defenses in the league - Westbrook still had them competing as top 5 offensive team. If Westbrook and Ibaka played the entire season, they would've won 50+ games. They still ended up winning 45 games (equal record with the Pelicans who made the playoffs) in the West, which would've been at least a top 5 seed in the East.
Are you one of those guys who thinks empty stats a thing. With Westbrook on the floor OKC performed at an elite rate offensively last season even without Kevin Durant. The actual reason OKC didn't make the playoffs was b/c of a terrible defense which wasn't helped by the injuries to Ibaka and KD. Even WB had to miss time
It's really silly to use record against WB here or any dominant star. Like Kobe's Lakers in '06 would struggle to make the playoffs last season. Empty stats? Why did Rose's Bulls in '11 make the PS but WB's Thunder fail to do so. Is it possible that the best defense in the association had something to do with that.
Got it before I could, pretty much this. WB was phenomenal last year but the circumstances were too much for him to overcome in terms of team sucess
......................and they got bumped out of the 8th spot by a team that made the thunder look healthy in comparison.
what yall think, they stopped making injuries when they made OKC?
