Westbrook is definitely number one in terms of polarizing point guards in the league. He also is considered one of the premier talents. As frustrating as it might be for what he isn’t as a player, he is equally amazing for what he is. For every play he makes that is upsetting Scott Brooks or Thunder fans, he makes about three that are incredibly awesome. I think some of the hate directed at him is because he isn’t at Kevin Durant’s level, but when you appreciate what he does for face value it’s pretty impressive.
