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 did it a 360 on KD.
One of my favourite players when he was with the thunder. Completely hated him when he went to the warriors. Then the Bucks vs. Nets series when he had the toe on the line reminded me why he’s one of my favourite players. Coming back from that injury and being every bit as good as he was before is incredible. He’s the definition of “ball is life” and a joy to watch.
I was such a spiteful little shit about the Heatles. LeBron is one of my favorite players ever now.
Brown. Used to think he’s gonna be a better player than Tatum, thought he was way more consistent than Tatum. Instead somewhere along the way he started playing extremely stupid basketball.
I used to freakin hate Lebron
Me too. I still do. But I used to also.
LeSchrodinger’s Hate.
KD. Thought he was a boring goody-two-shoes with the Thunder. I like how he embraced the villain role with the Warriors and subsequently. Now he’s my favorite player
When has KD ever embraced the villain role lmfao all he does is act like a poor widdle victim. Look at his recent comments about his Nets exit. Or anything he has said about his leadership on his teams.
I think probably Rondo or Pat Bev. I always hated Rondo on that Celtics teams but really appreciated the insight and leadership he brought to the court. Pat Bev, well, he’s one of those enforcer dudes that backs up their teammates every team loves to have. I think it’s a shame his time on the Lakers were short but, with us so heavy on guards to start last season, his contract was going to be moved regardless. When he’s not on your team, it’s easy to hate him lol
Dray. Used to think he’s just always fired up. Now he’s just an asshole
Right there with you. Fuck him
the amount of insane homers in r/warriors that actually support Draymond’s objectively stupid antics is wild to me lmao - talking about how punching people is normal because they’re pro-athletes lol
Me too. I used to find his antics somewhat amusing. Now I just see him as a huge bully and I will forever stan Jarrett Allen for kicking him in the nuts.
james harden
he was on the trash rockets but still making the playoffs and dropping 50 or 60 a night
then tried to form a super team in brooklyn and basically has turned into a pre madonna or whatever
mad lame but i lost all respect for him lol
Joker
I was hyped for Ayton until year 3, now I can’t stand that he’s still in the league
Westbrook/KD- I used to say “KD is better, but Westbrook is what makes the Thunder a contender because KD can only react and WB generates”
LeBron - “he is just an athlete - in a few years he will be washed. He will never be at the Tim Duncan level”
Booker - “he’s just a big numbers on a bad team guy”
Russ has literally done nothing different than age and be less good.
Lol.
His game has always been the same.
Not that I’m ever mad at that. HOF career.
If this off-season means anything, a bunch of mfers not saying Brandon Miller…
Chris Paul. I’ve always known how good of a player he is, but I had the same problems with him that everyone else does until he went to the Thunder. From the beginning of that year everyone was expecting them to literally be the worst team in the league and he was considered washed. He could’ve easily decided to not play, as is the trend, but he gave it his all and was a professional night in and night out. He was the best player on that team that shouldn’t have been even close to the playoffs and was one timely James Harden block away from the second round. He played a big mentor role to SGA that I think still shows to this day. 2019-20 was one of the best seasons to be a Thunder fan largely because of him, and we’re talking about a team that contended every single year from 2010 until 2016
