Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2703795, member: 488"] Westbrook played to all the stereotypes, good and bad, in that game. I don't think anyone is really changing their mind about him as a player after that one. That said, I find it hard not to root for him. He's Kobe minus the selling his teammates down the river. Maybe he's not the most self-aware player in the world but you never hear a bad word about him off the court and I've yet to see a situation where he's aggressively sabotaging the team. His game just doesn't translate to instilling an offense like the Warriors run. That's a different thing than being selfish. Unless someone can provide examples of him refusing coaching or clashing with teammates, I'm inclined to believe he's largely a victim of circumstance. You're not a victim of circumstance when you shoot 2 of 16 in an elimination game or cash $28 mil checks to suck at your job. [/QUOTE]
