it ain't translating to a lot of Ws or great team success like it did for one Allen Iverson back in 2001 when he led that Sixers team to the NBA Finals no sir


That's a little unfair IMO. Westbrook is not in the same crappy Eastern conference that Iverson was back in.

I think Westbrook's becoming underrated by the board. The roster just isn't built to fit his game. He has some very poor qualities, but he also has some skills that no one else in the league possesses.

As far as I recall, I've been on record lauding Westbrook's max effort approach to basketball. As far as his other attributes are concerned, Westbrook's probably the best athlete not named LeBron James playing basketball today however best athlete doesn't automatically equate to best basketball player. Like me, htran and Boom have articulated on numerous occasions, Westbrook's approach is a double-edged sword because there are times when it evidently exacerbates his basketball weaknesses and detracts from overall team success.
