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.

A bit of an older one but Dirk was always known as a stat sheet stuffer who couldn't deliver in the playoffs. That 2006 finals collapse vs Miami and embarassing first round exit vs Golden State the next year solidifed that reputation. But then somehow he lead the Mavs to a championship 4 years later with 0 choking, I still can't really believe it.
