I never got the overall adoration that was shed on Rose.

He was a slashing "pg", liked the offense (shots) to flow through him...had a shitty jumper...never shot threes and gets hurt all the time.

Westbrook is better now than Rose was at his best IMO.

They have similar game except Westbrook can hit jumpers and plays through pain.

What he is doing right now is insane....I have to put him at 2nd in the MVP race behind Curry.

This is assuming they hold onto the 8 seed.

If they make it, it is all on his shoulders.

NOBODY on the 8th seeded team will win the MVP...And they shouldn't either.

Eyeball test tells me Westbrook is pretty valuable.

Westbrooks game is a lot smoother than Rose. Notice the way they both jump and land on the court after making a move.

Rose is too much herky jerky stuff and one of the reasons I'd guess his body keeps breaking down.

May as well start calling him 2015 NBA MVP Russell Westbrook now.

NOBODY has won the MVP when missing 15 games since the 70's.

So the chances of a guy missing 15 games and winning the MVP on the 8th seeded team is not good, not good at all.

Look Boom....its all a moot point because its Curry's hardware.

The point of the thread is that Westbrook is a lot better version of what Rose was billed to be.

Lol no.
Bron AD and KD are better candidates for a #2 sport.

Every time I start to think you are retarded, you post something like this and confirm it.

I love Westbrook, but that's not why you started this thread. This is a troll. Plain and simple.

I agree. I said Westbrook was Rose 2.0 a couple years ago.

He's uber talented. He still shoots too much. He could be what Dwyane Wade was, but he's way too selfish.
