    If Lebron was putting up Westbrooks numbers
    We would be hearing about it non stop 24-7 on ESPN and every talking head out there telling us how he is the greatest player on the planet. Same way the league dirtied Iverson in the latter part of his career because he wasn't a yes man, they have done the same thing to Westbrook. These type of numbers are historical and they talk about others as MVP lol. Poor kid will never catch a break in this league.

    Guy is only hitting 40 % of his shots and has like 100 shot attempts per game. Nothing historical about that.

        What choice does the guy have? He has no other players around him. He has to attack if they have any chance of winning. At least he isn't sitting out every other night because he needs to rest.

          Averaging 32/10/10 for an entire season is incredible. He's also started all 67 games. He's def the MVP in my opinion.

            U forget it is a triple double an not a single double right? If he is throwing up a hundred shot his assists and rebounds are even more amazing

              He should be the MVP, but he's a team killer. Durant would be there if he passed in crunch time. Give him his MVP, because he's never winning it all. He can biggest drama queen, and worst dressed as well. Not a title, though. He thought he was number 1, so they lost Durant.

              Look at the two in the running. Westbrook, and Harden. Individual players.

                I like Westbrook and admired what he did for OKC unlike that other soft guy leaving to join GSW. However, i think his number is a little inflated... look how his teammates sometimes stayed away to let him get rebounds and how many shots he took.

                    If Westbrook doesn't get MVP unanimously, he got robbed.

                          Guy is not even trying to win just pad numbers, he pushes Gibson out of the way for rebounds and guns for assists at end of games if he is short of the triple double

                            Wont... cant.. win the MVP.

                            Harden
                            Lebron
                            Westbrook
                            Kawhi

                            in that order.

                              Westbrook is Westbrook... that's like trying to take away Jordan... from being Jordan.

                              Westbrook would be one hell of a player if he would slow it down.... and not turn the ball over. That's like trying to teach a Pitbull not to chew off someone's arm. It's just going to happen eventually.

                              OKC has reached their prime. I don't think they can get any better. Westbrook also can't get any better.


                              Even though Lebron James is the best NBA player period.... there's no way he could EVER do what Westbrook is doing night in and night out.

                              Lebron outweighs Westbrook significantly. 249 lbs to 187 lbs


                              If anyone knows anything about conditioning and body weight ratio.... well... there you have it. 62 lbs. Try lugging 62 lbs + more around... night in and night out. And it has ZERO to do with muscle mass to fat ratio.

                              Even Lebron knows he couldn't do what Westbrook does... he won't admit it publicly.

                                Agree when you dont behave exactly how the man wants you to then he'll defeat you with the pen. Come up with all kind of new and historic reasons to deny you making themselves look stupid. Theyve come up with new and inventive ways to keep T.O. out of the HOF, very funny stuff though.

                                  One look at Westbrook's numbers now compared to Lebron's numbers when he was 28 clearly shows who the better player is.

                                      RWB is an incredible athlete. RWB has great intensity. NOBODY wants to play with him, and the coach has no idea what to do with him.
                                      I also believe Harden and RWB are on pace to have the top 3 TURN OVER totals of ALL Fuggin TIME.

                                      LBJ is more valuable to his team and WINNING titles. Every player wants to play with LBJ.

                                          Westbrook has an intensity to chase stats/ make history. Zeke is one of my all-time favs because he had an intensity to win -he & Dumars didn't care about stats.

                                            The size of his muscles make me think otherwise -muscles are heavy. ftr NBA.com have him listed at 200Ibs.

                                                Accoridng to Google

                                                Westbrook 187 lbs

                                                King James 249 lbs



                                                Regardless... let's just say Westbrook 200 lbs. James 230 lbs.

                                                30 lbs is a lot of extra weight. Regardless if you're in shape or not. I was around 203 lbs solid.... and I've also weighed 186 lbs solid. My cardio was off the charts at 186 lbs. I was flying up and down the basketball court with no problems.... while other guys were gasping for air. There's no way Lebron could match Westbrook's energy night in and night out.

                                                  Lol, Im saying I checked the net and there are various weights given. 187 lbs and 200 lbs is what I saw just in descriptions without clicking on any links. I personally dont think he's over 200 lbs.
