    Russell Westbrook might be the best player who’s the worst for his team

    Me! Me! Me! Yeah I’ve known this for a long time. All those Blazers wins vs Russ by just letting him “take over” down the stretch made it crystal clear.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Emptiest numbers of all time. High scoring on inefficient shooting, high rebounds by snatching all the easy ones that teammates otherwise would have gotten, high assists by insisting on dominating the ball and only passing if it's an assist opportunity.

    The only type of team Westbrook fits on is one with no other top-end talent. He doesn't add to other talent, he just carves his numbers out of the production they would have put up without him.

    All for the low, low cost of a max contract.

    Yup, his statistics definitely warrant it. He obviously doesn't help a team win a title, but there are various ways to earn a Hall of Fame berth.

    Yeah he does things that nobody else can (seasons of triple-doubles, etc.). Unfortunately, leading a team to a championship or serious contention does not appear to be one of those things he can do.
