November 1, 201411 yr Russell Westbrook of Oklahoma City Thunder faces uncertain timetable; surgery possible - ESPN
February 28, 201511 yr Author Want to take back the Rondo comments yet after tonight ? We agreed on Westbrook. Actually I do. Rondo sucks and he's not even a top 15 PG now.
February 28, 201511 yr Author I take it all back. Russ isn't the best PG in the league. Right now he is the best damn player on the planet.
February 28, 201511 yr Rondo isn't selfish on the court. He's certainly one of the top PG's in the NBA. Off the court...well I can think of better words than selfish. We might need to rethink this one. He might not be in the top 10. Edit... PP beat me to it.
February 28, 201511 yr I take it all back. Russ isn't the best PG in the league. Right now he is the best damn player on the planet. :thumb:
February 28, 201511 yr Author Us poor Laker fans. Latched on to OKC because...well because the Lakers celebrate their 14th win of the season in late February like they are 41-14 and not 14-41. Plus Russ plays with Kobe-like emotion. Love it!!!!!
February 28, 201511 yr Author I meant to start House of Cards. Instead finishing off this OKC-POR game. Great game. Portland is shooting a lot of 3s. And hitting them too.
February 28, 201511 yr I take it all back. Russ isn't the best PG in the league. Right now he is the best damn player on the planet. Easy big fella...I LOVE Russ...love him. However, he is not LBJ. Lebron is the best player in the league...period. What separates LBJ from the others is his defense. Let's say Cleveland plays OKC in the finals. Probably won't happen but let's say it did. In the 4th quarter of a close game, if Durant was going off, Lebron would guard him and pretty much neutralize him. If Russ was going off, he would guard him and do the same thing. How many other guys could guard Russ AND KD?? I think it is criminal that LBJ is hardly being mentioned as the MVP this year. Why? It is like when Jordan played. Both are held to a completely different standard in the MVP race...people get bored giving it to the same guy every year so they make up reasons to give it to other guys. Harden, Steph, Russ...all great players...but not in LBJ's class.

Harden, Steph, Russ...all great players...but not in LBJ's class. I said right now. When LBJ is averaging a triple double in the 7 games that Kyrie isn't playing then get at me. Russ is doing what LBJ has always done and right now he's doing it better than LBJ. Russ has more triple doubles this week than LBJ does all year.
February 28, 201511 yr All good points. I just think people look for reasons to not give LBJ the MVP. He is held to a totally different standard than any other player in the league. I think Westbrook is phenomenal and he is on an incredible streak right now - he may have been the best player on the planet the past two weeks. LBJ has been the past 7-10 years (some debate with Kobe a few of those years when Kobe was still in his prime).

LBJ has been the past 7-10 years (some debate with Kobe a few of those years when Kobe was still in his prime). If Russ wasn't playing at this level then I'm all for LBJ as MVP. I've always been a big supporter of someone like LBJ and MJ being the MVP every year in their primes. I think people look for reasons to not give it to LBJ also. Russ is just unreal right now. Did you see the dent in his face last night?
