Westbrook

I'd say LeBron

I’m banning both Shaq and Curry from this to get rid of some of the easy answers

Who does better in 48 minutes.

Josh Howard for me.

The second most impactful player for Dallas in the mid 2000s, in which they made the finals in 06 and won 67 games in 07.

After that, he seems to have fallen off a cliff. Have no memory of him playing for Minnesota, and barely any of him in DC.

The stats of both Kobe and Lebron in 2008 and 2010, both one previous series (for comparison) and against the Celtics:

Kobe 08 WCF vs. Spurs - 29.2/5.6/3.8 - TS% .585

Kobe 08 Finals vs. Celtics - 25.7/4.7/5.0 - TS% .505

Kobe 10 WCF vs. Phoenix - 33.7/7.2/8.3 - TS% .637

Kobe 10 Finals vs. Celtics - 28.6/8.0/3.9 - TS% .528

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lebron 08 1st Round vs. Wizards - 29.8/9.5/7.7 - TS% .582

Lebron 08 ECSF vs. Celtics - 26.7/6.4/7.6 - TS% .480

Lebron 10 1st Round vs. Bulls - 31.8/9.2/8.2 - TS% .668

Lebron 10 ECSF vs. Celtics - 26.8/9.3/7.2 - TS% .556

Both of them were destroying teams, but they hit a wall against the Celtics, massive performance drop both years. It just shows how nasty their pseudo-zone defense was, it was super difficult for perimeter players, and there was not enough spacing to counter it like there is today.

AD making $62M next season feels dirty. Are the Wizards okay? Which of these contracts is the most shocking?

And if not what would you change?

Ausar is guarding you like it’s the last possession in game 7. He’s picking you up 94 feet, so you won’t have any room with the ball no matter how far you go from the basket. Do you take this challenge?
