And the majority of players that excel in those areas aren't playing nearly as many minutes as Russ, aren't the players who are running the breaks like Russ, are chasing rebounds and loose balls that are 20 feet away from them like Russ, and aren't generating half of the teams offensive output like Russ.

Are there players who work hard doing that stuff all game long? Sure, and there are lot's of them. There aren't lots of Russell Westbrooks.
