 Its a product of the NBA. Instead of playing against a bunch of guys who are either average athletes at the college level, or don't have size, or don't have good enough coaching he is playing against a guy who is one of the 50-75 best guys in the world at his position on a nightly basis. 

 

I know a lot of people here don't like the NBA. But the talent disparity between the NBA and college ball is pretty enormous.

1st game back from a shoulder issue. I caught a few minutes of the Knicks game and thought he was still out until they showed him dunking going to commercial at the end of the 1st quarter.

He went up for one and got blocked last night.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,601]

His efficiency stats are great. Yeah, I get the shoulder issue. Even before that, not enough minutes.

He's playing great.

Troy started and played a very solid game for the Grizzlies.

Good for him to be able to play again after he was told he wouldn't able to. Such an inspiring story and love what the NBA did for him last year at the draft. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,601]

Oladipo had a great game.

And how is Westbrook so good? He's incredible this season.

Westbrook is not only really skilled but he is ultra competitive.  He seems like the type that doesn't just want to beat you but wants to beat you so bad you curl up in the fetal position.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,601]

Saw him getting offensive rebounds off missed Free Throws giving up a foot and a half in reach. It's wild.

It really is. He was like 7/25 and then just dominated in the 4th and OT. 

[Hovadipo 56,679]

I was alive but not "aware" when Jordan was dominating, so I'll say that I've never seen someone absolutely hate and want to destroy an opponent the way that Westbrook does. It's fascinating. I could watch him play every night and be fine with it.

The fact that him and Oladipo are guard buddies doesn't hurt either.

I just wish Westbrook was a better defender. He really should be a good defender with how freakishly athletic he is.
