I don’t like Russell Westbrook’s game. There, I finally said it. It’s really an aesthetic thing, as he plays with a fury that echoes across the NBA with every dribble of the basketball. Personally, I prefer more finesse. Make no mistake, the superstar of the OKC Thunder is an undeniable basketball talent. He’s like an unleashed hurricane wrapped in a tornado, with a super charged engine straight off the set of Fast Eight.
It’s equal parts amazing and frustrating to behold. The amazing is obvious to any person who’s had even a casual interest in basketball this season; as Russ chased, and overcame Oscar Robinson to average a triple-double for a season.
