On the Durant Signing - I'm now a Westbrook fan Published at 7/8/2016

As far as the Durant signing goes....and various takes on it this is where I fall on the spectrum:
But the biggest takeaway for me is I'm now a big Westbrook fan.
It's not like I paid close attention to all the ebbs and flows of OKC but the impression I've been left with over the seasons is that there is a lot of hero ball and it's all Westbrook's fault. It seems Westbrook drew the strow of unfavored son while Durant has been the darling of his franchise. They both play hero ball but when Durant does it, it's well he was our best shot, when Westbrook does it, it's why didn't he pass the ball to Durant.
Westbrook with his abrasive personality has allowed people to lionize all things Durant and take all failings and pin it on Westbrook so much so it's to a fault. And much like the brother of the prodigal son in the Bible Westbrook has to be looking at his fan base and going..."well there he goes, off into sunset, taking away the hopes of what was the idealized franchise rebuild.....So you gonna love me now?"
Well I'm going to love Westbrook starting now.
