So far during the 18/19 NBA season, we have seen both versions of Russell Westbrook, although we are increasingly seeing his unselfish version, that can still easily record a triple-double.

In recent years, Westbrook has been rightfully accused of hurling up awful shots as he attempts to get his team back into the game, and we have also seen this during games this season, such as when Westbrook was 6-23 from the field and an abysmal 1-12 from behind the arc against the Nuggets.

While the 30-year-old received much criticism for that performance, Westbrook has since been more willing to sit back and let others take over. The 2017 MVP has allowed both Paul George and Dennis Schroder to take over late in the fourth quarter and the Thunder have undoubtedly benefited from Westbrook's change in approach.
