Context is kinda important for this statement.. Westbrook didn't have kd and ibaka for most of last year, plus he was out as well which led to a huge hole for okc to start the season.. And okc tied for the 8th spot but missed the playoffs dude to losing the season series vs the Pelicans
Kd had Reggie and ibaka the whole year.. Plus the handful of games Russ played
Russ had the guys from the Kanter trade
KD was playing with Perkins, Fisher, Tseflosha, and Caron Butler
You really have no argument for Russ over your own personal opinion. All advanced metrics (im not even a stats guy like that) show that KD's impact was much higher. I mean, dude won MVP. Regardless of how much we enjoyed it, Russ wasn't winning MVP last year without actually getting consistent Ws.
