The only thing one can argue that Westbrook has over CP3 is those two MVP awards and those triple double seasons. Even then, those still didn’t amount to anything as he got washed out of the playoffs in the first round.

Breh, that’s a lot to have over someone. Especially someone that’s never won an MVP or a championship. Whether y’all think it’s stat padding or not we not gon see another player averaging triple doubles like it’s some normal shyt for a long time. If CP3 had way more postseason success and an MVP also then maybe I’d be more inclined to say Paul is better.

Let’s just put it this way, neither player is overwhelmingly greater than the other.

CP3 was mvp runner up
Has 6 steal titles
And 7 first team all defense
And 2 more assist titles than him

the resume even shows u who the better player

Russ has the two MVPs and the triple double seasons, so he has CP3 beat in that aspect. Other than that, CP3 is the overall better player and leader. I'm agreeing with you lol.

Triple doubles is an accomplishment, yes. But putting up numbers doesn't mean anything if you don't win. He's averaging a triple double this season, yet the team is ass. That's on him and Beal as they are looked upon by some people as superstar players.

That's my problem with the NBA today where everybody thinks that someone is a great player and snubbed just because they are putting up numbers.

Naw I kno u think CP better

I’m sayin tho I don’t agree the TDs n MVP alone make his resume better

CP has 2 more assists titles, 6 more steals titles, 9 more all defense appearances

They tried to make it sound like CP couldn’t hold a candle to em

Yo why are y’all makin this about Stephen A?

he said sum thin NBA fans have been saying for years? What’s the problem he can’t talk about basketball?

why you resorting to extremes?
I never said SA cant talk about bball.

but because SA voices or influences many fans opinions, dont make it fact. He doesnt speak in analysis. He speaks on narratives of players/teams/decision etc.

therefore, he can never lose. Because its about framing discussions.

I’m not saying whether it is or isn’t, Oscar ain’t win hella titles neither. But it still counts for something is my point. People just argue that it doesn’t count because they don’t like Russ or his sometimes boneheaded play style. But it’s still incredibly difficult to do what Russ has done.

In comparison, as I said, all CP3 truly got over him is leading his teams further which we can all agree to.

For some reason, people don't want to give CP3 props for what he does and has been doing.

You're seeing it now in the MVP consideration where he can't even get a mention. People literally insist in believing that Phoenix would have the 2nd best record in the league even if he wasn't on the roster.

We will have this discussion again in a few months when All NBA teams are announced and you have everybody who put up numbers complaining that they are a snub lol.

This is a straight cop out by Westbrook and his wife. You are a professional athlete. Your job is to win games. To say winning championships doesn't matter or make your life better is fukkin BULLSHYT. You play to win. Of course being a good person is more important. Of course being able to provide generational wealth to your family who comes from poverty is more important. But to blow off winning championships saying it doesn't matter is a cop out.

Westbrook, Durant and some others need to be much more selective about what they respond to. Sometimes whats said is the actual truth. Just accept it and keep it moving.

There's 3 NBA wives that I really like and rock with. Nina Westbrook, Jada Paul and Savannah James. Three loyal black queens that have been with their husbands since day 1. I'm rocking with them regardless. Like it or not the media can influence people's perception of you. Even though it shouldn't. If you let Stephen a smith's opinion sway your decision you don't deserve to be a scout or gm. But look at a guy like Shaq. HIs clowning of Javale Mcgee probably stopped him from getting paid. Because now all those dumb plays are highlighted.
