I doubt we will see that KD and Westbrook tandem but well, Thunders knows how to find talents before but sadly they didn't became champs with them.
That's why they are planning to rebuild again, there are young talents that might come and lead the team to more success.
No team can make a player to stay forever, though westbrook is no doubt one of the best player in the NBA but he is not a good example of a team leader, and we all know basketball is a team game and not only a one man game, so even with his very awesome triple double stats its still useless if he cannot lead his team to be in the NBA finals and to win.
But Kobe Bryant stayed to Lakers until he retired?
Thunders is sort of a talent scout but they should start getting their team rebuild and I hope they can cope up with the next season.
Kobe indeed stayed until he retired, they have very similar type of a player as they both have wanted to handle the ball, the good catch with Kobe he always have a good team behind the titles, that he've got role players that's willing to adjust with him, unlike Russ he's individuality focused with stats and not on how the team will win.
Before Russ has a good teammates but they just didn't blended well.
or it's not just his time to take the title.
Kobe is GOAT for a reason, westbrook may won MVP but he is not a GOAT.
I wonder if theres a lot of fans out there who like westbrook, I think he has a lot of haters and I hate this guy because he loss against the Blazers where I bet on their team to win, you know they are the favorites that time but he is not shooting the ball well but still persist to shoot.
I don't hate players as much as possible I appreciate on how good they are, what shall we get for hating these great athletes? unless they really are pissing.
