Russell Westbrook 50 point triple double

[thunderc]

Thunder aren't blowing anyone out any time soon, even the Lakers. They will win their share of games though.

I'm hearing grumbling of an Enis Kanter for Blake Griffin trade. If that happens Okc would be the most athletic team in the league with Russ, Olodipo, and Griffin.

You have a very vivid imagination. Not even the dumbest fucker in the world would do a straight swap for Kanter and Griffin.

Westbrook is a man among men. Jordan even says there hasn't been a player as similar to him. That being said no one player can carry a team. Especially in today's NBA with players willing to be second or third on a team just to lighten their own load and make getting a ring easier. Who's the Thunder's second best player? Adams. A player that is still growing and learning.
The question isn't if Westbrook is the best PG in the NBA it's if he's the best player and one of the best PG's of all time. And no I'm not saying he is a top 5 PG at this point in his career.

 

[thunderc]

Might be the most freakish athlete to ever play in the league and that is not overstating it.

 

[tducey]

He's a good player, going to be interesting to see him as the guy in Oklahoma City this year.

Not quite true...

Best current point guard? Definitely.

Best current player? Not as long as Lebron is still Lebron. I will say though, that if we're talking "pound for pound" like in boxing...a solid argument can be made.

One of the best point guards of all-time? He's definitely headed in that direction, but he's got a loooong way to go to be mentioned in the same breath as Magic.

He could get there....one day maybe. But he's not even in the same stratosphere as Magic right now.

Really enjoying these announcers for OKC.

They are the biggest homers on the planet but it's funny and entertaining at times.

As opposed to a Cavs broadcast.

It's the absolute WORST.

Let's just say hypothetically that Russ does his best Oscar impression and averages 35, 10 and 12 for like the next 5 years (won't happen), but OKC fails to upgrade the roster and never advances past the second round of the playoffs.

Where would that rank him all time?

 

[thunderc]

2nd straight triple double.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Westbrook fucked around and got a triple double.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

It was the least impressive 50 point game I've ever seen. Dude just chucked everything up.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

@tebowGOAT instead of thumbs downing me maybe you should defend your stance? I watched the entire game and he played with great passion and heart which I can respect but he could've built a 20 bedroom mansion with all those bricks.

 

[thunderc]

To say it was the least impressive 50 point game you ever saw is kind of at odds with being the first triple double 50 point game in over 30 years. I get your point, but it's not like he was putting up shots just to get 50.

To GET 50, not his overall game because the triple double was impressive itself. I'm a big RW fan but let's not pretend like that was a pretty 50 points. On that many shots you better get 50, lol.

Tough to say. The numbers would be incredible and should get him in the convo. But with no titles, it would be hard to put him on Magic's level.

Freaking jiggas every way like MJ.

I can't believe today was a good day.
