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’ve done multiple 180s on KD.. had him prematurely as one of the best ever back in the late OKC days just projecting out his career but then flipped complete after signing with golden state.

I believed that you could pick literally anyone of that all star team that season, add them to those warriors and they still would have won the titles without injuries.

Because that turned people off KD and then he came back to the cartoon nets, I feel he was almost underrated.. now I just think he is one of the greats that fucked his own legacy.. he could have gone the dame path and stayed in OKC a little longer, or atleast just chose another option besides golden state.. I think he would have still earned at least one ring that would weigh more than what he got in Golden state in my opinion

I disliked him for is move to Golden St but he has ultimately won me over for genuinely deep love of basketball.

Yeah, used to be my favourite players watching especially the OKC days. Kinda tried to be the 'bad' guy of the league joining GSW which had me going meh.

But seeing him now, just loving to ball out reminds me of those OKC days
