That's why it's funny when people say he's better than guys like Durant, Kawhi, LeBron. |

I've been thinking about it foor a day, but just because of Russ' heart I still can't definitively answer. Although with today's rules I'll probably have to lean Penny. He was Magic w/o the leadership gene Westbrook is the only one since the Big O to average a triple double....take Anfernee |

He was Magic w/o the leadership gene I'll roll with Penny too because his all around game was so much better. Still tough though. Not difficult at all for me to say Russ, I'm not sure there's one thing that Russ isn't better at. http://www.landofbasketball.com Russ doesn't make his teammates better. Russ is all about Russ's numbers. Never going to win a NBA title. Russ is the real deal. Top three today. Really impressed with that one playoff win, huh? He's more impressive when compared to Penny. He'll have time to build a better playoff resume. The only thing softer than Penny's mental makeup was his knee tissue. |

If Russ went to a 73 win golden state team that win a ring a year prior, they win a ring too and breeze through the playoffs. The only difference is if Durant was the Lone Wolf in OK City, the Thunder don't even make the playoffs this year. |

If Russ and KD switched teams this past year the Thunder lose in the second round probably. Golden State still wins the title but almost certainly doesn't go 16-1 in the postseason. I think Durant is clearly and significantly better as a player than Westbrook is. |

We'll never know, Russ and KD are both better than Penny. |

You think having a player with a 41% usage rate and a guy who shoots 18 shots in one quarter in a playoff game is going to have team success? I strongly disagree. |

I was a huge Magic guy in the 90's. I'd love to say Penny but you just can't. His first three years were great, and who knows what he could have been without injuries. But Westbrook has eclipsed the best we saw of Penny. |

The starting lineup of the Thunder was worse than that of the Bulls if you subtract Westbrook from theirs and Butler from the Bulls. Westbrook also carried them the year Durant was injured too. Just missed the playoffs but I think they won 48 games that year. |
