Former NBA MVP Russell Westbrook, now with the Denver Nuggets, recently shared his thoughts on his past teams and playing style. The Nuggets believe that having him with stars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray will help them win the championship, as they did in the 2022–23 season. Westbrook also seems to share that confidence, as his recent powerful message has quickly gone viral.
The Denver Nuggets are still a good candidate for the 2024–25 season, even if they aren’t the clear choice. With three-time MVP Nikola Jokic leading the team and Russell Westbrook joining on a two-year deal, they look more powerful than in the past two seasons.
After practice on Saturday, Westbrook discussed his unique skills and how they fit in Denver compared to his time with the Lakers and Clippers. His insightful comments quickly gained traction on social media.
He said, “To be honest, it was unique. They just didn’t put me in a position to make it unique. I was in a position where I was playing not my position. Being able to be here and coach Malone allowing me to be able to use my speed, use my transition skill to be able to make other guys better makes the game easy for everybody surrounding me and that’s what I love to do best.”
Westbrook thinks he can get better with the Nuggets, but most NBA fans aren’t so sure. Many fans remain skeptical, focusing more on his past mistakes than on his potential to score this season.
NBA fans critically react to Russell Westbrook’s statement
Russell Westbrook’s recent remarks have sparked intense discussions among NBA fans. Many people have harsh opinions about the former MVP.
One fan, @kawhi_ring, said, “Blame everyone other than yourself, continue to shoot shots you won’t ever make, continue to make 30 mistakes a game and wonder why you are benched in the clutch. You control what you do on the court. You are responsible.”
Another user, @VegasGregin, added the most terrible comment: “Oh yea. Unique as in can’t shoot a fuckin lick”
Meanwhile, @EugeneNayvelt pointed out, “LOL. He said the same thing about the Lakers when he joined the Clippers. Now he’s saying it about the Clippers while with Denver. When will people wake up? 😂”
