Maybe "since 2010", or something like that, but Wade and TMac have done it, in my lifetime as a fan. I'd imagine more guys did it in the 80's and sooner, when the game was played more in the open court. Jerry West, Bernard King, David Thompson probably. Dominique never averaged 30+? Gervin, Dantley. In the league, as in, in the NBA right now. Edited December 3, 2020 by NYRaider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westbrook was a key piece on a team that made the finals and a team that was one game away from beating the Warriors to make a 2nd NBA finals the year before Durant left. Has Wall ever even won a playoff series? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Smithers Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Honestly this is like the most meaningless blockbuster trade in NBA history. It’s like trading five $1 bills for a $5 bill because the $5 feels lighter in your pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has Wall ever even won a playoff series? Westbrook has won zero (0) playoff series as the lead dawg lol. Wall has won quite a few! Even taking the JV conference into account in this comparison, Wall's playoff record is pretty impressive My comment was a bit brash, perhaps, I don't feel super strongly about it. But I have always liked Wall's game more than Westbrook's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much a 0% chance that Houston is significantly worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be competitive if their young players improve, they have two guys that can drop 30 any given night and create their own offense.
