Is Westbrook a Top 10 All-Time PG?

[who_better_than_me]

Lol nah my guy this is crazy

I think Cassell is top 3 one of the most underrated players I’ve ever seen.

I thought Russ was overrated but after seeing him this year when a team and gm actually catered a gameplan to him, he’s better than I though I
He was. Okc never built a team around him with good players with skill. Dude averaging 30, 8, and 8 on near 50% shooting with a real coach and a real gameplan presented to get the most out of him. Dude doing this on the wrong side of 30.

I disagree with what you're saying about OKC. Russ was on many good teams in OKC and flopped.

He's never been overrated though, he's a top PG to ever play. He's just not a championship level point guard.

Yeah he is imo, but don’t underrate/overlook The Glove. Gary Payton is the greatest Defensive Point Guard of All Time and still till this day the only Point who was DPOY in 35 years and running.

How can you say that when he’s been to a finals before. And it wasn’t a cake walk to get their

In terms of talent yes but how can you be considered a top 10 point guard when you're known for horrible decision making, sabotage and forced shot taking?

There's absolutely no way I'm taking him over Steve Nash or CP3 as a point guard.

I get what he’s saying though because those OKC teams had no real offensive game plans

I've said for years how vicious he'd be in a Houston type of offense. With his first step and explosiveness if he gets a step he's going to finish and if you cheat and give help he'll make the right pass.

You're correct but Harden and KD were the real catalysts of that run IMO. Harden was the late game decision maker, Russ basically became an off-guard, KD was the engine behind it all.

He's had enough to win several times and he's part of the reason why they never won. Those early OKC teams before they decided to go all in on defensive non-shooters he was still horrid late in games with the ball in his hands, late in OKC they depended on KD and Westbrook to carry them, which didn't work out, but then after he became a MVP he had a MVP level Paul George to play with and they started getting better offensive play and they couldn't make it out the first round twice. Got completely bodied and embarrassed by Lillard.

I'd put him over Nash and Payton.

Y’all be disrespecting the fukk outta Nash

 

[Bledswole]

fukk Nash

Disrespectful

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

Disrespectful

And yet his MVPs are more disrespectful

 

[hostsamurai]

And yet his MVPs are more disrespectful

People called him overrated in Dallas, that he wasn't the reason they had the best offense in the league. Then he moved to the Suns and they instantly had the best offense. Do you really think that isn't MVP worthy? Or shyt, do you think Westbrook could move to a new team and instantly have the best offense in the league?

 

[42 Monks]

no fukking way is russ a top 10 pg

 

[Bledswole]

Like i said nikkas is disrespectful to Nash. He fasho a top 10 PG of all time. Got two mvps and was responsible for the Suns back to back WCF appearances while also being one of the best shooters of all time. Some of these PG’s can’t make those claims give Nash his props

 

[King Poetic]

No

dude is great the first 43 minutes of ball games

the last 5 minutes dude be all over the place
