He is? I don't see it. Other than sweet stroke of his, Westbrook is pound for pound better than Durant.
Pound-for-pound, AI is better than Wilt Chamberlain. What does that mean?
Additionally, how do you discount Durant's shooting ability? And his rebounding?
I gave him his dues shooting the ball. I'm not impressed with his rebounding or lack thereof. He never boxes out. 2 rebounds from SF/PF is a disgrace.
I can't stand the fact Thunder hiding Durant on defense. Meanwhile, Westbrook is running the team, and also having to defend Dwyane Wade.
4 games against Miami thus far Westbrook is averaging 29 points, 7 assists, 7 rebounds, 48% shooting, 81% from the line in this series. Interesting.
Rondo in 7 games averaged 21 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds... 48% shooting, 70% from the line
HUGE stat lines from both of them. Might have something to do with Miami's defense.
Funny they both had Epic performances in losing efforts against Miami:
Westbrook Game 4: (45 minutes) 43 points, 5 assists, 7 rebounds (Miami win)
Rondo Game 2: (53 minutes) 44 points, 10 assists, 8 rebounds (Miami win)
Give Durant credit for what's he's doing... 30+ points, 55% shooting, 37% from three, 82% from the line. As far as I know, King James is a better defender than Mario Chalmers.
