If winning is all that matters then Horry is better than Kobe, MJ, Bron, Magic, Kareem, Hakeem, Steph, KD, Garnett & etc right??
Is Westbrook a Top 10 All-Time PG?

Kidd is one of those guys you had to watch play.Most cerebral player I've seen in all my years of watching the sport.His ability to make timely steals, track loose balls, snag the rebound at the most vital part of the game...Really was some Extra Sensory Perception shyt.He was a mutant when it came to "hustle-ability".Like Dennis Rodman, but doing it from the pg position.Awesome situational player with a freaky high sense of spatial awareness on the court.He wasn't the most outwardly emotional guy, but I've never seen a guy play with more energy or passion than J Kidd.Watched him every game when he played for the Suns.Put him in my unique/mutant category with guys like Charles Barkley & Dennis Rodman.Cliche as it might sound, these dudes had an extraordinary feel for the game.Like ball magnets nh.Things that might not necessarily show up on a stat sheet.

how?
he said basketball is all about winning, not athletic feats. So by his own requirements, Robert Horry is the greatest player of all time behind Bill Russell

Players with multiple chips like Horry and Kerr are role players, they didn’t lead anything instead they benefited from being in the right situation at the right time. Horry is a benefactor of Hakeem(2) Shaq/Kobe(3) and Duncan(2) rings.

Bill Russell and Horry the GOAT according to y’all’s standards
Don’t see it. Decision making skills questionable at best, and a lot of empty stats

I think Westbrook is better than Oscar Robertson. I mean Oscar's main argument has always been averaging triple-double once. Westbrook already done that 4 times. yeah Oscar won a championship once, but he was barely the 3rd best player on the team when the playoffs had 2 rounds only before the finals. before that he was either missing the playoffs or losing in the first rounds. Plus, unlike Westbrook, Oscar played in a weak era for point guards most of his career.

47 years post-retirement, Oscar still is one of the five greatest points ever and the consensus within the basketball community overall is he's a Top 10 All-Timer, or borderline; very, very few rankings put him below 12th. I'm not sure I have him in my Top 15, and I'm more of a Westbrook fan, but Westbrook isn't at that level...
Oscar was way bigger in his era than Russ is in his, and that has to count for something. It was Wilt/Bill, then it was Oscar Robertson. He was one and done alot but he made a conference finals run as a #1 and was a more prolific scorer. And no, he was thevsecind best player on Milwaukee's chip...
I'm never to be confused as an Oscar fan, I think he's overrated, but you're selling him short, bro...
