People have always thought I was crazy for saying I would take Westbrook over Durant if the day ever came. Well, the day has come.
Westbrook is a competitor and doesn't take the easy way out.
The only person I've ever seen take Russell Westbrook out of a game is Russell Westbrook. I saw Durant get shutdown numerous times. Durant is soft. A great scorer, but soft.
Durant was an eye lash from a title and what does he do in the off-season? Work harder? Get stronger? Come back meaner? Hell no. He turns his back on his team and fans and goes to a 73 win team hoping his shots will come easier.
What's Westbrook do? He says f*ck you I'm going to take this challenge head on.
Westbrook is an alpha. Durant is a follower that is easily persuaded. Durant always said the right things. He said OKC was his home. He said the fans meant everything to him. He said he loved the city and his teammates. He said he wanted to retire his jersey here. Well, talk is cheap. I'll take Westbrook's actions over Durant's talk anyday.
Durant can continue acting like he is a tough guy to the media and try to play the villian role even though we all know it's phony. At least with Westbrook, you know what you're getting.
Dude will do some crazy stuff but at least he'll leave it on the court. OKC went from potentially being a lottery team to still having a chance to compete for a 4 or 5 seed in the West.
Westbrook, Oladipo, Adams, & Kanter is a nice lineup.
Westbrook you da real MVP.
