Pamela Owens+FollowHow Good Was Houston Westbrook?With Westbrook officially signing with the Kings after years of ups and downs, it’s worth remembering just how dominant he was in Houston’s small-ball era. At one point, he averaged 33.2 PPG, 7.9 RPG, 7.8 APG on 53.6% FG over 17 games — blowing past defenses with relentless drives and athleticism. Houston went 10–2 in that stretch, and Russ looked unstoppable. He’s had rough stretches since then, but this version of Westbrook was special. #NBA #Westbrook #HoustonRockets #NBAHistory #Kings #NBATalk #MVP #Sports 221Share

Andrew Anderson+FollowThe Most Grueling Title Run in NBA History?The 1995 Houston Rockets made their championship run as a 6th seed, taking down an absolutely brutal lineup of opponents: 60-win Jazz (3 seed) 59-win Suns (2 seed) 62-win Spurs (1 seed, MVP David Robinson) 1-seed Magic led by Shaq & Penny — fresh off beating MJ’s Bulls and Reggie’s Pacers They went through the 3, 2, and 1 seeds in the West, then the top team in the East — and came out with the trophy. Has any other team faced a tougher road to a ring? #NBA #Rockets #NBAHistory #ChampionshipRun 241Share
David Howard+FollowWas Cleveland the Worst Possible Team for LeBron to Be Drafted To?Looking back at the 2003 NBA Draft, it’s wild to think how different LeBron’s career could’ve been depending on where the ping-pong balls landed. Raptors — Pairing him with Vince Carter could’ve changed everything. With Bron’s impact, they likely make the playoffs early, and Vince might never leave. Grizzlies — If Memphis landed the No. 1 pick, Detroit wouldn’t have kept it. Pau Gasol + Jerry West as GM? That’s a real foundation. Nuggets — Similar early trajectory as Cleveland, but with better moves (like the Billups trade), they might’ve actually gotten Bron a ring. Heat — Pat Riley’s front office, Shaq coming in, and organizational competence. Enough said. Clippers — This is the real death sentence. Bulls — Might have had better free-agent pull than Cleveland long-term. Cleveland gave him the hometown story — but from a pure basketball perspective, was it the worst spot among the top picks? #LeBronJames #NBADraft #Cavs #NBAWhatIf #NBAHistory #Sports #NBA 285Share
