WESTBROOK: I’M BEST PG IN THE NBA

By on September 30, 2014

The Oklahoma City Thunder’s Russell Westbrook says he agrees with coach Scott Brooks’ assessment that he’s the best point guard in the league.

Westbrook has been known to make some questionable decisions in his time. See the videos below if you don’t believe us, or check out this article.

But his coach, Scott Brooks, believes the 25-year-old is the “best point guard in basketball” — something he player himself doesn’t disagree with.

“That’s how I feel,” he says. “I don’t know what to tell you. I felt like that since I got in the league. That’s my mindset. As a rookie, I come in and I felt like I’m the best player on the floor. That’s the way I played since college. Just how I think.”

A new ESPN poll doesn’t agree however, with just 17% of Americans rating Westbrook as the L’s best PG.

The only other player in the league to do that? LeBron James.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
