SAS actually echos the same thing most of this thread says about Russ.

Don’t know how you can watch him play defense or watch him after he gives the ball up & conclude that he gives “100% effort, 100% of the time”Y'all can hate on Westbrook all you want, but that man puts in 100% effort, 100% of the time.
Really wish he developed a 3-pt shot though

I haven't watched FT today yet but I figured this was the case. He did the same thing with Bron with a 'disclaimer' at the bottom of the screen every time he'd critique him for something.

Green says NBA teams are ‘terrified’ of Stephen Curry after latest thrilling game — Guardian US
Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook were at their brilliant best as they helped their teams to victory and moved closer to the playoffs

I think it's fair for people to expect him to work on his game year in and year out. It's not necessarily points people are asking him to score, just have a willingness to work on taking shots the defense is giving him.
People get on Giannis for the same thing and he seems to care about improving and being the best player he can be. I don't get the same feeling from Ben (which is okay) but just frustrating because he has the body and skillset to do anything on the court. He's still a fantastic player but he could be even better and right now it feels like fans want it more for him than he wants it for himself.

If you can't expect a #1 overall pick to be better than he was coming out of college to this point then that's a pretty damning indictment of said player.

Can’t be talking like this when your team is 1 game above .500 and 10th in the west.

Sometimes it feels like I’m missing a few pages in this thread because the Lil’ Russ haters speak about him more in here than the Lil’ Russ fans do

thing is Sixers are 32-6 this season when Embiid AND Simmons play

i come with the facts yall just come with what yall wanna see the man do

8th in the west.....
But what would you say if your team is a half game from 7th, with the “top 2” players in the league according to multiple publications?

if Russ wasn't traded out of OKC, he could have ended up the same horrible player that he was, an "inefficient stat-padding triple-double player". the management and coach of that OKC team basically conditioned him to fail. I'd say he started to become and play better after he got traded. although it is not perfect, there are still instances that he shows those unnecessary bad habits which is difficult to change. on the otherhand, those bad habits are not as bad nor frequent as he was at OKC. I can safely say that OKC is a bad destination to any superstar or star level player. any player that left that organization has gone to become better players and have better success.
