So proud to be a lifelong Nuggets fan right now. I never doubted Bruce Brown. Oh, and that Jokic guy was pretty good too.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/17leuod/misconception_about_westbrook_is_that_he_is_a/ wrote:...

Clipper fans now realize who the real Westbrook is. He's the guy every superstar wants so they can jack up the most high quality attempts. He's not a socialist where the shots needs to be spread evenly to open players. He's more meritocratic that forces the best scorer to shoot the most attempts with high quality.

LeBron-style basketball is more socialist where LeBron is the dictator. All 4 players will get equal shot attempts if they are wide open. LeBron doesn't care how much they make or their track record. That's why you see AD disappear in 3rd and 4th quarters. He's focused on getting the defense to react to him and passing it to anybody that is wide open. It doesn't matter if the player can shoot 3s well either. That player has to become the spot-up shooter.

I hope these misconceptions clears up why comapring TS% of LeBron and other scorers vs. Westbrook is unfair. Westbrook is focused on getting the best scorers the most points and highest TS%. Westbrook will take a hit on TS% since he's not the first option. LeBron is the first option and should have the highest TS%. Best scorers are not a good fit with LeBron since they get second looks after defenses react to LeBron.

Quote:Uphold Westbrookist-Leninist Thought. The Vanguard will usher in the shotmaking revolution, the role-player proletariat must follow.

Quote:Lebron, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Lenin. That’s a solid 5 tbh.

Quote:Stalin the king of comebacks, man is clutch. Lenin set the theory, great PG. Castro relies a bit on others to get him open looks, but his defense is surprisingly good. Mao is a great spot up shooter. 60 win team

Quote:I think their skills mostly overlap, this team is less than sum of its parts

Quote:We must no longer accept these kulaks on supermaxes who monopolize the ball and keep common shooters begging for a tiny slice of the shot attempts

Quote:Your analysis strangely makes me sympathetic for players like AD who are expected to get star touches in a socialist environment governed by Lebrons evaluation of a defense. AD doesn’t actually have agency.
