A former NBA champion recently made a bold statement regarding Chris Paul's all-time ranking compared to Russell Westbrook's.

Westbrook has a big decision to make this summer with a pending player option to stay with the Nuggets for the 2025-26 season, but recovering from this much-needed surgery is certainly a top priority.

Westbrook averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists in the regular season. Westbrook signed a two-year deal last summer, with a player option next season that would be worth $3,468,960.

Options are dwindling, and the point guard, a giant figure in the NBA in recent years, remains without a team heading into the new season.
