OD 11? Nash would be flattered I'm sure. Other than that I'd agree with all the stats, maybe JS 1 notch higher. But that OD would probably be like 7. Barely respectable. The free throws should be 20 as well.

None of those players were as good as passers and shooters as Nash. They were great, but Nash is on another level in that regard.

Russell Westbrook went for 38/15/9 in a 3OT win without Durant tonight, and the game didn't garner a single mention on the front page of ESPN.

Just some quick insight into why Westbrook isn't considered to be as good as Rose and Rondo.

I think Westbrook has improved a lot this season. His jumpshot seems more sure and he's become more assertive and is arguably OKC's best player so far. The World Champs probably helped his confidence along. The media is catching onto this improvement but it seems you've been on the bandwagon for a longer time. I saw the game against the Celtics that OKC won without Durant and he controlled that game. But for me, he's still not quite at the Rose or Rondo mark, though Rondo is a very different player and should be left out of any PG comparisons. I would pick Rose over Westbrook simply because Rose is still the better go-to guy. The guy I'd rather see with the ball in his hands in the 4th, especially with the team down a bunch.

That's like saying Dirk is better at speaking German than Westbrook. Seeing that Westbrook hasn't had time (or the need) to learn, who's to say he wouldn't be kicking Dirk's ass at German Scrabble in two weeks? ;) Westbrook has never been a go-to guy, not even at UCLA, but I think he'd be just as good or better than Rose in that role if he had to be that guy for an extended period of time. He's already a better shooter than Rose, just as good of a finisher, and a better free throw shooter.
