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.

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

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.

37.8% for Iverson's highest number in 2001-02 and Westbrook this year is 42.3%. He even had 38.4% two years ago. Thank you for bringing that up. Cy was correct nobody has even came close to those percentages. The record is 38.7% by Kobe in 2005-06. Westbrook is going to shatter it by almost 4%. Insane.

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.

Sixers just have no one who can guard him at all.
 
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.

Amazing.

If he collected two more assists that might have been better than almost any C statline this season
 
Neil Olshey has long been one of the best GM's in the league and this Nurkic move might be his best one since drafting McCollum.

If Nurkic and Vonleh turn out to be the frontcourt of the future he's done a fantastic job of buying low..
 
You look and Jokic, Nurkic and Saric and how they are producing and there will be a lot of teams that regret passing on Ante Zizic in a couple years.
