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.

Westbrook got way too much hate, which obscured the real issues that he didn't seem to be taking accountability or trying to change his approach. He'd then get defiant and confrontational over even basic questions

Lebron I didn't like for years because he just struck me as too image obsessed and entitled. Granted, what being called the "king" does to a teenage brain. He feels more authentic now and he's clearly top 3, so I give him all deserved respect, though I hate the LeGM stuff he pulls still
