    Westbrook. The other two dont impact the game like Westbrook does.

    Damn shame that Marbury was jealous of KG.

    For low BBIQ undersized combo-guard super-athletes, this is his prime. AI, Marbury, Francis are in the same mould as Westbrook. As his athleticism declines, his impact on a game will decline.

    I like Westbrook and think he's somewhat overly criticised, though his critics are right, he's terrible at making decisions and managing an offense, but his freakish athleticism makes him a nightmare for any defense - more so than Harden at this stage.

    But Harden's game will age like fine wine.

    Marbury on the Nets was a great playmaker. I watched the games.

    IMO Marbury was the best of the 3. How in the hell are you going to talk about Westbrook's team success when he's playing with Kevin Durant?

    I hate this argument. Brian Scalabrini has multiple championships so he's better than Karl Malone. Being on a championship team doesn't mean you're better than player X. Barkley never won a ring and he is miles and miles above 95% of the players to ever step on the court.

    Francis played his heart out, but in all honesty, he was a terrible point guard. Extremely low BBIQ, injury-prone. But sure he can give you some high light dunks in a loss game.

    It's definitely not Starbury.

    But Franchise versus Warner Bros.?

    Gotta go with WB. He is definitely the best around right now at putting his fingerprints all over a game. Whether that's good or not, in a position where a player is traditionally supposed to be helping other people do the same, is debatable. But when he is on he is on. Leaves the other two in the dust.

    Can't argue with that one.


    Even without defense the difference between Westbrook and Marbury/Francis is monumental.

    Sorry, Stevie Franchise/Rockets fan as much as some of you would hate to admit, if you replaced Francis with Westbrook, this team might have actually gotten to playoffs or out of the first round more often. Westbrook is a better shooter, better leaper, more athletic, a little more consistent and MOST and BEST of all, a bit more unselfish(doesn't kill the flow of the offense as much).
