Russell Westbrook is the NBA's best point guard
The triple-double watch is on every time Westbrook hits the floor. In the last 25 years, only Westbrook, Jason Kidd, and Grant Hill have eclipsed 20 triple-doubles in a two-season span. Westbrook explodes to the rim with a combination of athleticism and aggression that's unmatched in the game today. He was given the keys to the Thunder offense when Kevin Durant shut his season down early a year ago, and Westbrook responded with averages of 31.4 points, 9.7 assists, 8.6 rebounds, and two steals in the final 34 games en route to his first scoring title. A factor at both ends of the floor, he simply has more tools in his arsenal than any other player at the point guard position.
Stephen Curry is the NBA's best point guard
For going on two seasons now, Curry's been doing things on a basketball court that no one has before. He's reached the 1,500 3-pointers mark in 477 games - no other NBA player's done it in fewer than 661. Curry's eclipsed 300 made 3-pointers this season - a feat no other player's accomplished - and could hit 400 before the year's out, helping establish him as the only player averaging better than 30 points. While Curry possesses the attributes of a 3-point specialist, he brings so much more to the table. He's committed to improving his game, transforming into an elite ball-handler since arriving in the Bay Area. The catalyst of the league's most efficient offense, Curry's put the Warriors in position to challenge the Chicago Bulls' 72-win season.
