Russ said earlier in the year that it’s his job to make Nikola’s game easy, because Nikola will make the whole team’s game easy. So that’s what he’s focused on doing and it’s true. Jokic has had more open, easy layups tonight and throughout the year than he’s had in previous years.
Jokic should get best GM award for signing Westbrook
Plays every single game and every single minute like his last, often times Nuggets second best player,and all that on vet minimum, just absurdly good
I talked shit about this guy, I was wrong. Best contract and hustle in the league
Thats facts. Shoutout Jokic. Took a chance by throwing his name behind a request to the Nuggets to get him and Russ looks so happy to be playing with him
I fucking love this dude.
Russ winning with us would be crazy after I cursed this man’s name for years
It’s insane that most fans considered Westbrook as the most hard to fit player of all time fits Jokic so well
I agree, audience: I, too, enjoy Russell Westbrook III.
Both are elite passer that feeds off each other well. And we can see Russ genuinely enjoy every moment in Denver too.
Listen, I feel like this is the Thunder’s year…but if it isn’t and it has to be one other team…I’d be so happy for my favorite player to finally get a ring for himself.
Isn’t that Scott Hastings, the guy Chuck had some beef with over getting sucker-punched lol?
Im really glad to see Westbrook playing well and finding joy again on the court.
He’s finally home
I’m very happy for Russ. He’s intense and can hoop with the best of them in the right situation
I wasn’t sure what to expect when we signed him, but god damn I am so grateful we brought him onboard this year. Been an absolute joy watching him play with the nuggets. The fan base loves him too 💜
All 12 of us Russ fans that never switched up rooting for him to get a ring this year
As a long time Westbrook hater I love this and this version of him and am happy for him
Love seeing Westbrook happy he is a decent man
I love this man
Never been a fan of westbrooks game but I love him this season. Easily the most enjoyable and least frustrating version of Brodie ever
Jokic said I wanted Russ and this sub laughed. And now he’s the best contract in the league.
I like that Westbrook is having a good year, man. I was never down to trashing a former MVP, it ain’t right.
So interesting how literally every fanbase Russ has played for loves him EXCEPT for the Los Angeles Lebrons.
How curious.
He does a great job of it to.
They’re treating my boy like their boy and oh boy I love it.
Russ just needed to feel wanted again. Nikola settles him
Westbrook looks like a weight has been lifted of his shoulders after the last few seasons. Love having him in Denver.
Westbrook is the best player in the world in my heart!
MITWestbrook is vindicated once again
I love to see this man thrive.
I’ve always rooted for Russ.
When I wasn’t in Miami for like half of the 2020-2021 Season, and was in Virginia, picking up Wizards game on Cable, I rooted for him like hell.
Glad to see him winning, and I wouldn’t be upset if he wins a ring.
Westbrook is on the veteran minimum. Yall disrespected brodie cut the interview short.
1 russ changed too. In LA he did more hero ball to prove sth.
2 why doesnt jokic do more GM stuff. Way better than LeGM
Maaaann this shi got me emotional 🥲
This is the most entertaining games Brodie has ever played since his days in OKC. I love watching him as a Nugget.
Just give jokic an ALL STAR teammate and he’ll give 5-peat championship. EASY.
So many good storylines in the NBA. I’m gonna be heartbroken for a different team that drops each round of the playoffs
Russell has put up with a lot of haters over his career, but I’ve watched him and he’s my guy. No matter what anyone says, this guy is my guy.
Im rooting for him to win a ring this year but damn Cavs and OKC are super terrifiying right now.
I genuinely want Russell to win an NBA, Russ go go go we all are rooting for you. From Malaysia with Love.
u/MITWestbrook talk your shit.
Social media really had some people calling a diamond a rock smh
How can people not appreciate him? I don’t get the hate
