westbrook is basically a more athletic rondo if he controlled the ball more and shot more.

Lol, what..?

A more athletic rondo that isn't afraid of contact, and actually relishes it while getting to the line 2x as more?

Yeah I'll take that. Plus Westbrook has definitely learned how to take better shots, and has a knack for getting really easy passes out to bigs. He's a dominant PG, and is easily in my top 3, Curry, Westbrook, and Paul.

And Kevin Durant hasn't explicitly said this as of yet, so why are you guys all assuming this is true?

Yeah, a more athletic Rondo that gets to the line frequently is a superstar. Which is what Westbrook is.

Durant left because he wanted to try something new. I think he was also tired of taking turns playing iso ball with Russ. He saw the kind of ball that Golden State and San Antonio were playing and decided he had to go somewhere else if he ever wanted to play at that level. Wouldn't happen in OKC.

That's not the same thing as it being Russ's fault.

 Westbrook still hasn't spoke publicly or on social Media about Durant, what does that say.

It sounded more like he left because he knew Westbrook was out the door next summer more than anything else. Horford didn't sign with OKC because Durant couldn't promise him that both him and Westbrook would be there after next summer.
