Westbrook's a good kid, I have no issue with how he approached these questions.

Consider that Westbrook was very raw coming into the league, more of a defensive specialist role player. He did not come in as a 30+ USG scoring guard. This development path was encouraged by the Thunder organization, or it wouldn't have happened. Westbrook is doing what the team wants him to do, and is the player the organization wanted him to become. He's nowhere near a finished product yet, but I think it's wrong to believe that this vision for Westbrook's game is his and his alone.

Imagine if AI had a Durant on his team...He'd been way more efficient.

well AI was better but the mindset is the same.

to bad Philly couldn't field a better 2nd option than Dikembe Mutumbo or a fading Jerry Stackhouse.

EXACTAMUNDO

and to add, i think they're channeling his talents in the right direction. what's the saying?,,,,point guards aren't made, they're born. To try and make rw into a classic pg is wrong and a misuse of his skillset. okc's weakness lies elsewhere.

If Westbrook adjust he'll start playing tentative. They got to the Finals with him playing this way. Why change now?

Rose would never make a comment like this.

either he is too humble or afraid of media backlash, but he wouldn't say what Westbrook said.

Its nothing about being humble. If Westbrook changes his game no one but the Heat will benefit. Its more about not being afraid of media backlash. Its not like the media likes him anyway. They always bash him for stupid things like Skip.
