Nikola Jokic is doing what Lebron couldn't with Russell Westbrook
- Thread starter UpAndComing
- Start date
Better coaching first and secondly the star player knows his position on how to work with other players and in fact joker talk to russ before the season starts on how they can work together

lol? Just Bron was the problem?
What about KD? Harden? PG13? KLeonard? And others?
Or we not speaking on them?

Every player who plays with a superstar has to sacrifice their game.
You fukkin think Scottie Pippen couldn't have had a larger role?
I could post examples for days.

Even MJ sacrificed for Pip. Didn't have to play as much hero ball once he got some help

Brotha, have you seen the Nuggets?
If there's one thing they don't have it's shooters.
Westbrook is thriving because there's no expectations thrust upon him and because he's playing alongside a cheat code (they both have developed some real good chemistry).

@Roger king how come LeBron couldn’t make it to the playoffs with Brodie but Jokic will . We’re waiting fakkit. What’s taking so long ? What’s the explanation ?
injuries
But a 29 year old Lebron makes it to the playoffs with him easily.
Except it isn't. The mutual teammate in question here is a 6th man. When Russ was nudged into this with LeBron (while being more statically productive) there was no warm fuzzy feeling about how Russ was thriving.
Third option big men sacrificing isn't a valid knock betor bringing up Bosh and Love. You'd have to knock the 2nd options between them as well.

Russ was on a max contract with the Lakers… pretty sure he made the most on that roster when he was on it
He’s on a minimum with the Nuggets
Do some of yall even pay attention to the NBA? Or you forget about the salary cap?
