I think the big 3 of Harden, Durant, and Westbrook was the greatest big 3 in NBA history. It's a travesty how the ownership of this team screwed all this up
If I know OKC is playing I'll watch just because Westbrook plays there. Otherwise I rarely watch BB before the playoffs.
Westbrook is a modern day AI who I loved to watch also. Westbrook is even bigger & stronger & a better shooter than Iverson.

Give me 5 years and I could put together a final 4 team in the NBA. So simple. Discipline and tanking. The 14th pick in the NBA is nothing. That is equivalent to a 4th round pick in the NFL draft.
Westbrook has 15 triple-doubles this season and 34 in his career. It's the most triple-doubles by a player in a season since 1988-89, when Magic Johnson had 17 and Michael Jordan had 15. It was also Westbrook's sixth triple-double in March. According to STATS, it's the most by a player in a calendar month since Jordan had seven in April 1989.
''That's just a blessing,'' Westbrook said. ''Especially getting mentioned with those guys. Those guys are Hall of Famers. My job is try to help us win games and try to win a championship.''
It was his third triple-double in a row and fourth in his past five games. The Thunder improved to 15-0 this season when he gets a triple-double and 30-4 all-time.
OKLAHOMA CITY -- For just a few moments, Russell Westbrook slowed down. The Oklahoma City Thunder's mile-a-minute point guard took the time to soak in the atmosphere Tuesday night after he matched Oscar Robertson's single-season record with his 41st triple-double. The home crowd stood and chanted "MVP! MVP!" long after the assist, and he later waved to the crowd after play stopped . "It's one of those nights, a special night, and something I definitely will never forget," he said. "I'm just truly honored to do it here, especially in Oklahoma City." Westbrook finished with 12 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists to help the Thunder beat the Milwaukee Bucks 110-79. He clinched his seventh straight triple-double on an assist to Taj Gibson with 9:17 left in the third quarter.
