What a night in Dallas, Dirk getting a standing ovation for reaching 30,000 points.
Has anything ever existed like Westbrook's role on OKC in the past 40 years? I dont even remember Iverson be this ball and shot dominant.
Kobe - the final years.

Iverson was actually more ball dominant. Check out his 2001-02 season. Averaged 3 more shot attempts a game than Westbrook this year.

"revelation" is jumping the gun. lol
Look at their record since he's joined.
Also, he has 13/6/5/4 in the first half right now
Have to check out the usage %, not just shot attempts. # of possessions makes a big difference. I'm too lazy to check the numbers, I'll let you do that.
Tho I am really impressed with how well Nurkic has integrated as passer in Portland. I think a big reason the Nuggets wanted Plumlee was because they thought he was a great passing big man, which he might be, but it seems to an extent it was just the system the Blazers run.
Seems as though Nurkic is channelling some sort of Jokic's spirit or something because he's looking more and more like mini-Sabonis out there in that Blazers uniform with his passing.
He's already got 7 assists not even finished the 3rd quarter yet.
Finally Nurkic had a night to remember: 28 points, 20 rebounds, 8 assists, 6 blocks, 2 steals. Shooting 10/13 from the FT line.
Remember, Denver had to GIVE a first round draft pick to Portland in the Nurkic/Plumlee swap.
Amazing.
