What's always bugged me is his parents choosing to mispronounce his name. EE-an Eagle (as it should be) is so much better sounding than Eye-an Eagle.
Either that or he decided by himself to try to be edgy. Lol
 
Facts or sippin on haterade?



I'd say neither... just ignorance. It's amazing how many fans, ex-players, players, pundits don't understand efficiency. I think he legit thinks he has a point, but he can't realize that not all triple-doubles are created equal. Peak Jokic had just a handful of games shooting under .500 from the field compared to Westbrook's best triple-double years. It's not even remotely close. Jokic has arguable been the greatest floor raiser in NBA history -- nobody is going to say that about Westbrook.

Joker is also 7 feet tall, and plays a position that leads to easier baskets. Being a bigger players is always going to be a huge advantage in the NBA. Obviously Joker is just a better overall player. Westbrook is an infinitely better defender though.

It's been fun for me to what their diametrically opposed temperaments and styles for the top triple double guys in the game's history. Westbrook just has so much energy, while Jokic is brainpower. Could never picture Jokic hanging off the rim yelling "send them home" while getting a T after a dunk LOL.
