Rachel Nichols, Brian Windhorst and Tracy McGrady of The Jump discuss who they would rather build around right now: Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder or Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers.
Everyone talking about Westbrook being injury prone… remember when he was an Iron Man, guess who fucked that up. Patrick Beverly. Not saying he directly caused his further injurys, but that one dirty play was just the start to what ended up being a flurry of injuries that would end up effecting him
Not a fan of both players, but I would have to choose Lillard over Westbrook. Lillard is a more efficient scorer and a better shooter all around. Yes, Westbrook does average more assists and rebounds, but you have teammates for those areas of the game.
Westbrick and Lillard have a similar game..but RW is not a winner..stat padding and can’t make those crucial shots when the game is on the line..embarrassing.
Russ West has greater talent but lacks elite professional skill development of a Dame. NBA more than just raw athleticism/emotion of playing hard. Play smarter Russ.
Lowest seeded MVP ever. They broke their own rule for the MVP involving team success just to pat Westbrook on his back cause KD left.
The only excuse given by ppl who voted for him was that he averaged a TD and no one did that before (even though someone did do that before) and since then he’s still averaging a TD but they aren’t voting for him.
Yo so hold up, blazers lost 10 straight playoff games before this playoff series, and all of a sudden he’s better off two games??? Russ had a horrible game 2, but game 1 he was great. We just gonna kill the man when he’s down gtfoh.

I got Dame but I don’t know what’s my reason. Shooting is Dame. Attacking the basket is Russ. Better decision making? I got Dame.

I punched Steven Adams, but his face knocked out my fist. He then said, “sorry” and walked away. :b

Westbrook is still WAY better than Dame. Give me that heart over anybody in the league today.

Illegitimate MVP.
