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.

Wait? You started out hating Westbrook and Kobe but they won you over late in their careers? Gosh it is the complete opposite for me.

Westbrook was one of the most thrilling young players - helped lead a team to the finals etc. when he lost his athleticism, he became unwatchable imo.

Kobe - finished his career in a terrible way. Not to mention his terrible impact off the court on sexual assault cases. Also the toxic and idiotic mamba mentality bs.
