Stephen Curry showed up this season with his splash brother Klay Thompson. After 2 years, the team is back to play in the Finals. Curry had a great start this season, though he slowed down in the second half. Nonetheless, after Klay made his return, the Dubs were finally on track to win yet another title.

Contrary to the Warriors’ success, there were a few teams who disappointed their fans. The Lakers were expected to be championship contenders, though they didn’t even make the playoffs. There were a lot of reasons behind this poor season, but one stands out.

Dallas Cowboys star, Micah Parsons, was furious after hearing a kid’s take on Westbrook. There is no bias between the two players, but individually Steph is better than Russ. This season, Steph has averaged 25 points and 6 assists, whereas Westbrook put up 18 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. While Russ has been active everywhere, he hasn’t been efficient.

Westbrook’s game was off the entire season. Moreover, he wasn’t consistent in scoring or his outside shooting. Being a veteran presence, Russ tried his best, but was on a slump all season long. Apart from Westbrook’s inconsistency, the team lacked chemistry and hustle. On the other hand, Steph and the Warriors had a fabulous season, playing yet another Finals.
