    And unsurprisingly, Shaq didn't understand the point Kenny was making, and disagreed with him.

    You just gotta know PG13 and melo looked at him doin this and thought "this is some kinda special idiot". I think that game exposed him to casual fans. Stuff we knew (CF), KD knew yrs ago. I could only imagine the backlash if James harden did something like this.

    That TO rate effectively cancels out the PPG.
    The EFG and TO/G with less time on the floor effectively gives Rubio the slight edge over over-hyped Westbrick. Other teams can always rely on his ego to get the best of him, basically. Same stuff that plagued JH in the past, which he has effectively overcome between last year and this - moreso since CP3 came along.

    Russ is averaging 21, 12, and 8 to go along with over 5 turnovers on 37% from the field, 21% from 3, a TS% of 47%, and a 16 PER as his team is about to lose in the 1st round again while having HCA

    that is horrific

    Can u imagine if this were Harden?!? The memes would be everywhere, and everyone would be calling him an overrated scrub and playoff choker. Where is the heat for Westbrook at? ESPN had Russ as the better player heading into the season when they ranked Harden as the 8th best player in the NBA o_O yet holds Harden to a much higher standard.
