    Love the NBA, but never watch the All Star game. Just one step below the Pro Bowl.

    Here are the comparison stats.
    I consider Harden considerably better than RWB. For offense, Harden shoots TS% 61.4%. RWB is 53.9% and is on track to take the 8th most shots in history. (Context: Down Year Curry shoots better than either one at TS 63.1%., KD is at 65.0%)
    So I don’t accept any argument for RWB based on his scoring.
    Now RWB crashes the boards by design for OKC, while Curry and Harden don’t. OKC also helps RWB pad his rebound stats, though one can argue that’s to trigger the fast break.
    Now for raw production, RWB and JH are exceeding Curry. But they also are system players that REQUIRE the ball in their hands, so I ding them for that. In fact, viewed darkly, RWB’s ball dominance and inflexibility drove KD out of town.
    So in the end, I certainly think Curry is a better player than either, and have zero issue with him as a starter. Even ESPN RPM, which overrates the box scores, thinks Bad Curry is the #9 player in the league. I would understand arguments that Harden is having a better season.
    I can understand arguments that both JH and RWB carry their team more, but personally discount that since they both PREVENT better offenses from being installed and that hobbles OKC. The jury is still out whether it’s hobbling HOU, since they’ve looked dynamite in the regular season.

    ^^saw this on another site. add to this that GMs in the NBA would take curry overwhelmingly over westbrook. if you think that's debatable you're smoking something. on top of this, the all-star game is a popularity contest. they're not voting for first team all nba or MVP. it's not that big of a slight to westbrook, if any at all.

    Westbrook got all star MVP coming off the bench in the past. Can't imagine what happens when Kerr tries havin him and KD in the game at the same time

    Who cares, the NBA All-star game is a joke. Its not like he isn't going to play a bunch. What he going to miss out on? So he won't be the first guy to jack up 13 shots in the first minute.

    One of the biggest crimes our country has ever faced.

    This wouldn't have happened under Trumps administration.

    Westbrook is a straight up baller. I love watching him play. Disgusting that the NBA let stupid fans decide who starts in the all star game. Should go strictly by the numbers.

    Why? Avg players put up good numbers on bad teams. Numbers don't mean shit.

    Westbrook not a better player than Curry plain and simple. Curry proven that already. Westbrook is a great player, but he's not an all time great player like Curry.

    Never won an MVP. Never won a ring. Got exposed in the finals when he got there by D Wade. Known for choking in clutch moments. Turnover machine. Low bball IQ.

    He's gonna be playing same amount of minutes anyway. No one remembers who starts.

    Goat I respect your opinion on the NBA but come on. Curry would get rape stomped by Westbrook 1vs1. Curry is 100% a gloried shooter.

    Only reason a Curry has ring is because he team was stacked. Clay Thompson is much better than him for example.
