As a GM, LBJ. Everyone knew Westbrook was a horrible fit with LBJ and AD unless those two were going to change positions.
As a player, KD. If you're a top-3 player, and you have a roster with Kyrie, Brown and Claxton on it, you cannot get swept in the first round. The Celtics are a good team but they're nowhere near elite IMO.

Has Simmons' good name been salvaged with the latest revelation?

Re: Who’s reputation took a bigger hit
1) Westbrook -> from a great player with some flaws to the destroyer of the Lakers. Hit 10/10
2) Simmons -> from a promising young talent with a great shooting problem, to an absolute headcase that might or might not play in the future. Hit 9/10
3) Harden -> from an MVP candidate and MAX caliber player that took a step back to let the other two stars shine with him , to a washed up old player who clearly doesn't deserve more than 20 per year. HIT 8/10
4) Kyrie -> he was already blamed as a total headcase, he just consolidated this. HIT 7/10
5) KD -> from the best player on the planet and an absolute killer that shines when it matters the most, to a great player who can completely be shutdown and uncapable to overtake a great defense. HIT 5/10
6) LBJ -> I don't really think his reputation took a big hit... As LeGM he was already rated very low, and as a player he is declining but not in a bad way. HIT 2/10, maybe 3/10

Re: Who’s reputation took a bigger hit
Gotta be Simmons then Harden...they both quit on a team and then followed that up by not even playing at all in Simmons case, and playing poorly in Harden's case.

Re: Who’s reputation took a bigger hit
when it comes to all-time legends, it's kevin durant.
overall it's definitely kyrie and simmons as they both proved to be total bums this and many previous seasons, but neither of them are close to good enough to crack the top 25-30 all-time, never mind be borderline top 10 all-time like durant.
and the reason i say durant is that giannis has basically proven himself to be a clearly superior player these last 2 seasons and when it's all said and done (or heck, if not in just a few more years if he isn't already at this moment) should comfortably finish ahead of durant in the all-time rankings and barge down the door of the top 10 all-time.
he's already outplayed durant head to head and proven himself in the finals in a way durant never could without a historically stacked/unfair team. he's also giving it to the same team (best defense in basketball) that shut down durant just one round ago, and doing so with not much offensive help.
