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.
Pat Bev. I’ve done two 180s on him lol.
First I didn’t like him much (for obvious reasons), then he joined the Wolves and I loved that man. Then this summer, he said Ant will leave MN and needs to. Then he said KAT didn’t do anything in the Draymond-Gobert chokehold (despite KAT physically inserting himself trying to remove Draymond’s arm). He said KAT should have choked Draymond too (even though that would have got him ejected and lost us the game).
Thankful for what he’s done on the Wolves but I’m over Pat Bev, I find him annoying now lol
