Wow.
Dude is on fire the past month. First time I've ever thought he might be better than Durant. Bring on the hate.

No hate here. This guy is a serious contender for MVP. Yeah, I know Harden and LBJ are chalk.
My man
KD is a more efficient scorer, so I don't know that him playing sidekick would be the best option. Who is the better overall player is a different question, though.
Best athlete Westbrook
Best pure shooter Durant
If I was starting a team - Westbrook, first pick
1st round series will be West winner
Thunder
Westbrook is the best athlete to ever play the point guard position, and maybe the best athlete to ever play, his athleticism is freaky. When you say if you were starting a team you would take RW, do you mean between him and Durant, or if you could choose any player in the league to start a team with, you would pick RW, please clarify
Starting to mature
He would certainly be up there, but if I was starting a team I'd go with Anthony Davis first, Steph Curry second, and Lebron third (and the only reason he's third is his age compared to the other guys, if we had this discussion a few years ago, Lebron would be a no brainer), interesting discussion though
Durant
Davis
James
Team with 4 players?
It doesn't matter who is more efficient on offense, when you look at the entire body of work, Westbrook has turned himself into the best player in the league. If you are starting a team id go with Davis first...
Tough loss by OKC
You said Durant should be a sidekick who shoots jumpers, which led me to believe you were talking about offense, which is why I said it absolutely matters who is more efficient offensively. Even when they were both healthy, it's not like Westbrook was a "pass/defer to KD first" type of PG. I also said that saying KD is more efficient offensively definitely doesn't mean he is the better all-around player.
