Yes, because Oklahoma City didn't make the playoffs. If they did, they would've been knocked out by Golden State. Those players I would believe were better choices for the cover (as they made the postseason):
The Greak Freak deserves it more than Russell Westbrook.
Anyone else with this years playoff stats deserves it more than Russell Westbrook as well.
And this was my top 10 for the cover as of the playoffs seeds determined:
1. Giannis Anteokonunmpo
2. Michael Carter-Williams
3. Stephen Curry
4. LeBron James
5. James Harden
6. Chris Paul
7. Mike Conley
8. LaMarcus Aldridge
9. Jared Bayless
10. Blake Griffin
I somewhat am a big fan of Serge Ibaka/Kevin Durant/Russell Westbrook, but not if OKC misses the postseason like they did this year. One of the players from Milwaukee deserves it more than Russell Westbrook.
