Guarantee antha ledhu. I think Lebron and Westbrook will be favorites. Last year's championship will push some votes for Lebron. Anthony Davis, Karl Anthony Towns, Harden and Curry will have chances. | ||

That sentence might be poorly woreded...but he has a point that sometimes he tries to do too much even for a superstar. Big picture the artcile is fairly balanced...he is a superstar that can be the best player on a championship team ane cheptunnadu. | ||

Part of that is absolutely on Westbrook. He jacks nutty shots, and he has had to learn and memorize reads that come more naturally to guys -- like Paul - who have played point guard their whole lives. Westbrook has struggled at times to get the Thunder into their offense early in possessions. He has an unwavering belief that he can do it all by himself if he has to. | ||

Durant won four scoring titles and one MVP sharing the rock with Westbrook, and if not for some absurdly ill-timed injuries, the Thunder may have won a title even after swapping Harden. That makes the idea that another superstar can't mesh with Westbrook potentially ridiculous. Dig into newfangled tracking stats -- time of possession, total touches and dribbles -- and Westbrook looks very much like Chris Paul, Reggie Jackson, Kemba Walker, LeBron, John Wall, Harden and other guys who orchestrate offenses. Every star gets the ball a lot; pair them up, and someone is sacrificing. It's just a math problem, and it's not new. And remember: Even Paul, the pass-first Point God, has talked openly about his struggles relinquishing control of the Clippers' offense so that Blake Griffin might explore the breadth of his game. Westbrook dished 10.4 assists per game last season, a career high, and has finished second behind Paul in assist rate in each of the past two seasons. Westbrook arrives every season with new passes in his bag. Can a player like that really be selfish? | ||

It's possible Westbrook is about to produce a season of straight-line, single-minded fury we've never seen before. When Durant missed the last two months of 2014-15, Westbrook hoarded 40 percent of Oklahoma City's possessions with a shot, turnover or drawn foul -- a number that would set the all-time record if done over a full season. He might come closer to averaging a triple-double than anyone since Oscar Robertson did in 1962. And the Thunder will win many fewer games than they did during Westbrook's sometimes awkward partnership with Durant. After a year or two of trudging to 45 wins, the halo dissipates; the lone superstar becomes Carmelo Anthony, besieged with questions about why he can't win on his own -- and whether he's even cut out to be the proverbial Best Player on a Championship Team. No superstar can win without at least one other All-Star. Even Michael Jordan needed Scottie Pippen. Westbrook, at least while he retains peak athleticism, can be the best player on a championship-level team -- or at least a co-best player. He just needs elite outside help, and that will be one of the more intriguing questions as the league watches Westbrook do whatever he does in a post-KD world: Which other star will want to sign up as his partner in one of the league's teensiest markets? | ||

Now it's the Russ Show, and the whole NBA will be watching http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/17675910/how-russell-west brook-solo-act-play-oklahoma-city-kevin-durant It is strange that the one thing standing between Russell Westbrook and near-universal adoration was Kevin Durant. Westbrook has been the most nitpicked superstar of the past decade, save perhaps for the post-Decision LeBron James. Every flailing Westbrook drive and bonked pullup represented precious chances that could have gone to Durant instead. Every 10-of-30 frenzy inspired pearl-clutching ruminations about what True Point Guards were supposed to do. Durant is gone now, and everyone seems delighted to watch Westbrook play the exact same way -- without another superstar to feed. This is the season of Westbrook unhinged. We are tired of thinking about him, and ready to just gawk at the rampage. |
