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.
Luka. I still think he’s amazing and I love watching him play for the most part, but his habit of yelling at refs and also standing under the basket with his arms up to wait for the foul call is so annoying. He often doesn’t run back on defense because everyone else is upcourt and he’s still standing under the basket flailing his arms.
