Lol

Not even close

Ball hog

Chi_archie · 04-11-18, 08:34 PM

maybe 4th place this year

cincinnatikid513 · 04-11-18, 08:35 PM

no way he is mvp

krk1030 · 04-11-18, 08:35 PM

But last year this was accepted as fact.

The Giant · 04-11-18, 08:37 PM

He's shot the ball three times today.

He must've told his teammates he would share the ball today if they helped him get the rebounds he needs.

17 rebounds
14 assists

He's a stat stuffer without any awareness of the game. Sad.

jjgold · 04-11-18, 08:45 PM

LeBron James is been the MVP to last 14 Straight years and everybody knows it

Westbrook plays for triple doubles and can care less about team success

krk1030 · 04-11-18, 08:46 PM

Winning the game easily...

There would be no denying him tonight. He would've probably pulled a Ricky Davis if it came down to it.

One play he completely left his man to go stand under the rim and when the shot was missed boxed out Carmelo and grabbed the board.

Good comparison. He's Ricky Davis with a little more athleticism.

Good player but he’s become upset asked with triple doubles and lost the focus of the team concept

lakerboy · 04-11-18, 09:06 PM

Well.....

IBetYou · 04-11-18, 10:12 PM

he's a fu(king disgrace. His team needing a win to avoid the 8th seed and he's chasing stats. No one has the stones to challenge him on it.

jtoler · 04-11-18, 10:19 PM

is there anybody in the nba that you guys like

His team won the game, what are you talking about?

You are aware it takes stats to win, right?

The Kraken · 04-11-18, 10:33 PM

Markell Fultz had a triple double tonight, he must be playing the game all wrong. There are other players that could have grabbed those boards and scored those points.

The Kraken · 04-11-18, 10:35 PM

Only player that ever knew how to play the game right was Jordan, and of course all the guys here. Nobody else

Big John Studd · 04-11-18, 10:41 PM

Bug eyed ugly penetrating piece of shit, only worried about stats. You can't tell me he would have got that many rebounds in a normal situation.

marcoloco · 04-11-18, 10:41 PM

averaging a triple double for a season is sooo 2017

He averaged a triple double for the entire season, he didn't just grab a shit ton of boards in one game

Do you also get upset when a pitcher goes over his pitch count o get a no-hitter?

Lebron should be winning MVP every season he's been in the league....nothing new here

Westbrook still a stud though, if averaging a triple double in a season, now twice, wasn't anything special, others would have done it.....it's as rare as it because only extremely unique players are capable of it

Lebron could average a triple-double every night if he wanted. Fortunately, he understands that asking his teammates to clear out of the way so he can get some meaningless rebounds doesn't really make his team better.

So you're a Westbrook apologist... He has his teammates box out so he can scoop up near 20 boards to average a triple double. What happened to optimal rebounding strategy? When he chases assists it's an even bigger problem as opposing teams play him for the pass, understanding that's what he's after.

LeBron tried to average a triple double this year and couldnt do it because its super hard. Players complained early in the season that they felt he was padding stats. Averaged the most rebounds and assists of his career this year but it still eluded him.

Lebron is easily the best player in the league, hands down no argument....but Westbrook is still an elite talent and obviously future HOFer
Thunder were always beating Memphis G-league Grizzlies anyway so who cares if he tries to scoop up a few extra rebounds or whatever? Makes no difference

To average a triple double over the course of a season twice is ridiculously impressive any way you slice it. Even if you're only about the stats, 99.9% of NBA players still couldn't average a triple double over the course of a season, or even come close honestly

westbrook is a beast just accept it

I guess that makes you a westbrook hater. His team won by nearly 20, he got other players involved and for a for some reason even though they he was chasing assists the opposing team could not stop him.

And yes, LBJ is the best player in the league and should get the mvp every year. Now, him and Westbrook are victims of their own success

jjgold · 04-12-18, 05:22 AM

Any GM would not have Westbrook in their top 15 to start a team
Case closed

Hman · 04-12-18, 05:54 AM

There's been free money on Harden as MVP for months now.

It's still impressive what Westbrook has done.

Do we seriously think other NBA players don't try??

Or that ofhers players don't wish they could put up a triple double for even 1 single game?

Westbrook averaging a triple-double for two seasons in a row should be on the front page of ESPN but it's like one of the smaller 3rd articles down.

jjgold · 04-12-18, 05:58 AM

Other players are clearing out for Westbrook to get rebounds all year and last year

IBetYou · 04-12-18, 10:05 AM

Harden could easily have done it last season if he had gotten his teammates on board -unfortunately self-awareness/ self-respect held him back.. Simmons will do it someday soon if he wants to. But the point that escapes the brain dead on here is not whether it's difficult to do it but that stats are so important to him. Petty.

jjgold · 04-12-18, 10:10 AM

stat chaser thats all

shadymcgrady · 04-12-18, 10:10 AM

Stats are important to the people here that have never played the game and have no idea how the sport works
