WestBrick was definitely the MVP last night, for the Rockets.
I get on some basketball boards, and a number of people on them just can't accept any criticism of their hero, Russell Westbrook.
Now, obviously he makes more a positive impact than a negative one, but his style of play needs improvement. Of course, OKC having lost Harden, Durant, and Ibaka don't want to lost another impact player. So they let WB do anything he wants and force the other players to allow WB to pad his stats at their expense. That is the prime definition of a selfish ballplayer.
So I said unless OKC wins the title playing this way, WB's style of play is open for criticism.....like all ballplayers.
Well, I was informed that I'm a HATER!!! and just don't understand WB's greatness.
I responded by acknowledging he does a lot of positve things, and OKC would be a dismal team without him.
But that is beside the point. Because of his stat-padding, avoidance of playing defense, and taking too many bad shots OKC simply is not playing as well as they could be.
But WB's a**-kissing fans cannot stand any criticism of him...their hero is perfect.
I think not. He's a ballhogging, selfish hotdog. That does not mean I think he's a bad player, but I just that he's far from perfect. And I really can't stand him. Now I know why Durant left OKC.
