An internet battle: Rose v.s. Westbrook 

Post#1 » by Rili67 » Mon Dec 15, 2014 12:35 am

I made the mistake of getting involved in an "internet fight" on a ballstreams chat.
Which players career would you take up to now (future not included).
I said that I would take WB because their stats were nearly identical, yet WB has played two times as many playoff games and about 150 more career games.
Please TRY to keep the homer goggles, or "because I like him more" things out of this if possible.

The guy also then proceeded to tell me inside hoops would be a better place to post.. I haven't heard of that one.. so here it is.
Here's the player comparison

I'm gonna be a homer and just say Westbrook. Honestly, for all the criticism he takes, its still less than what Rose takes. He's also got a Finals appearance.

Too Bad Rose went down... This would've been an epic debate if he stayed healthy...

This guy on the gamechat for ball streams "youngyaper" was basically saying anyone would agree that Rose has been the better player, and I was a moron. I said we would agree to disagree, then he says he's going to "report me." I was like ahhh.. for what? Disagreeing with you? The sad thing is.. I was literally the only one supporting WB over Rose. Then again.. I was in a Bulls/Heat game chat...
