Westbrook was never one of my favorite players during most of his prime, but seeing how Westbrook has handled his last few years helped me gain a lot of respect for him.

Sure he never was the lead guy on a championship team, but his competitiveness is amazing. He played his best through all the Lakers drama. Westbrook also put up 37 in a playoff game in the most recent playoffs. I'm quite a huge fan of this late-career Westbrook.

Kobe - when I first started following the NBA as a kid, Kobe was the player I liked to root against. Near the end of his career I had nothing but love for him.

I was such a spiteful little shit about the Heatles. LeBron is one of my favorite players ever now.

I was actively rooting against him and laughing all the whole those first two years. Thought the Celtics had him and the embarrassment would never end for him, then he silenced me and everyone else with that game 6. After that, everything flipped, really enjoyed watching him and I really respect his mental fortitude.

Some of his shit annoys the fuck out of me "spiritually, financially" gtfoh, but he's been untouchable as a baller for a decade.

Tbf, except for Heat fans, who wasn't? Lebron having a PBS special to announce it. Bosh was in his prime, Wade had injuries but still in prime. They did the whole "how many rings we gonna win?" shit lol. Lot's of fuel for that fire.

The “how many rings” thing was entirely Lebron lol

As a casual fan at the time, the Heatles got me way more interested in the league than anything else
