I have never once on these boards said Mike was better or HOF worthy. I have been a vocal critic of Westbrook as seen.

I just said he would have been an all star years ago if Memphis was in the East

You think Kyle Lowry make the all star team if he was in the west Lol?

Fair enough. But truth used Nike Conley as some sort of way to bolster Russ accomplishments or lack thereof.

The thing is I think Westbrook Can easily win a chip if he wasn’t so hell bent on filing the stat sheet to keep his numbers up . I guess it comes down to me thinking he’s an egregious stat padded and no one else seeing that . Fine .

This is where I have to eat crow and maybe make an apology post to him. I thought he was a supremely gifted one dimensional player a la Gilbert arenas bc I hardly ever watched rockets games . Especially once I got beaten over the head w watching Dantonis “system” over and over . I never knew he was this multi talented and selfless, he’s been the engine to this Nets team .

I didn’t see it .

Edit my bad thought you were talking about WESTBROOK and not PG

I think PG was elite before the leg injury and very good after

Dude you and ThaTruth think Westbrook is better than ALLEN IVERSON. I guess thats what grind my gears . that means you think he’s elite . Just stop . Allen Iverson dragged Eric snow and them to the finals and never played with anyone nearly as good as what Russ had in his career . Enough is enough.



You said he got better after he left Russ and that’s
>patently false. 2018 in OKC, he was 3rd in MVP voting and had
>his best season of his career. That’s not even arguable.
>He hasn’t been nearly as good with the Clipper…next to

>the bubble and is about to get put out in the first round by
>Luka and Tim Hardaway’s son.

I think the problem with the clippers is Kahwi (in the locker room and off court ) but that’s a different discussion. Put PG on a team with a clear and vocal leader and I bet he thrives .
