22. Russell Westbrook

Westbrook knows adversity, and knows how to depend on himself to get over it. He also knows how to make other people depend on him whether they like it or not. The Thunder could be listless corpses if not for Westbrook going on and filling the stat-sheet in a surprisingly efficient manner every single night.

If this is what happens when he feels a betrayal from a single person in Kevin Durant, just think at how violently and potently he’ll lash back when he feels a betrayal of the human species by our own genetic makeup? Blood is thicker than water, and DNA is like, thicker than that I think.

Plus, Westbrook overcomes injuries different than any other human being. You know how in the movie adaptation of Doom when everyone was a zombie and Karl Urban took the same stuff that made everyone else a zombie but instead becomes superhuman? Maybe you don’t because that movie was balls and worth putting out of your mind. But trust me, that happened.

I think Westbrook is that guy. He got injected with zombie virus the first time he had a leg injury. Instead of being weakened, he came back stronger.

He’s immune. No, he’s better than immune. He’s unstoppable. If he loses a leg, I bet he runs faster. If his intestines are ripped out through his chest, he’ll fashion them into a glorious pair of wings and fly to safety. These things seem obvious when I write them out, but that doesn’t make them any less true.
