But he didn't last long with the Kings.

Which was insane to me.

Westbrook has had one season in his career where he has shot better than 33% from three and it was only 34%. He has only broken 30% twice in the last eight seasons. You'd think that at some point he might want to dedicate some extra work to this skill in the offseason and improve some but that hasn't happened through 14 seasons so far. One of the worst three point shooting guards of this generation.

Of course what you are saying isn't wrong but......
FWIW, Michael Jordan was a shitty 3 point shooter.
Would be nice if one day Skip Bayless realized he isn't as good of a sports "personality" as Russ Westbrook is a basketball player. Yet, Skip knows how to stay relevant and get his name mentioned on the Crimson BKB Board. Good for him?

If you think all Curry does is heave 3-pointers you have not watched (m)any of his games or understand basketball.

The key words you’re looking for are “ball” and “handling”. Look for a documentary he made with Reggie Miller. Look at the drives he had in Games 3-6 of the finals.

If kids are thinking what you accuse them of then there’s no hope for the future of the game. Ultimately though, if you have the kind of range and touch like he does it would be criminal for him not to at least have a look on each possession.
