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.

Lonzo Ball, all of the talking Lamar did when he was coming into the league made me want to see Lonzo fail badly. But Lonzo himself seems to be the opposite of his dad. He's more quiet, hardworking, and improved his game every year he was healthy.

Honestly I've had a 180 Lavar himself, now that I'm a dad. Sure, he is obnoxious, but he's only ever tried to pump up his children and set them up to be more successful than he's ever been.

I would argue his training methods were absolute shit and you could argue is one of the reasons Lonzo couldn't stay healthy (Such as improper technique when lifting weights). Also add in the controversy of the BBB sneakers.
