Nikola Jokic is doing what Lebron couldn't with Russell Westbrook

[Shadow King]

Disgusting thread from the Anti-Bron street team

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Wonder what gave him that idea

Oh Bron definitely gassed him on that front

I’m just saying Russ ain’t did shyt special but be a decent reserve off the bench for the nuggets and fill in when cats got hurt…Denver’s currently in the play-in and assuming they make it to a playoff series, Russ is gonna get exploited and do inexplicable shyt like he’s done for years in the playoffs..:and Jokic fanatics in the media will bury Russ with blame just like they did when he was a Laker, and a Clipper

I said this in the random thoughts thread but the most striking thing about Russ in Denver is how much he defers to Jokic and makes sure to play through/off him. He's never done that before.

He’s been doing that for years now.

He’s been doing that for years now.

Not like this. He was also unhappy in LAC; he seems really happy in Denver.

Man, I would be so happy if Russ wins a title with Denver.

Russ is having his 2nd worst statistical season ever lol

Finally playing with a real GOAT/Leader

Lets not let facts and objective metrics get in front of anti lebron propaganda, he went to the clippers and was a failure as well

 

[MicIsGod]

He was a good role player for the clippers

Was he unhappy because them nikkas was always hurt? Or was it his role. Liked him a lot with them.

 

[10bandz]

Do what exactly? Get him to accept coming off the bench as a role player making the min instead of a $44 million max that the lakers had to shed all their depth away to absorb? All to still be a play-in team?

Russ came to the lakers with the idea he was a co-partner in a big 3 with Bron and AD…had he had that mind state now, he’d be out the league

it was Bron and Ad who gave him that idea

When you play on a team everyone sacrifices a strength. That's how teams work.

If you put 5 elite 3 point shooters on the floor, you can't have all 5 of them shooting 3s all the time.

Right?
Right.

What STRENGTH did Pau Gasol give up when joining the Lakers? How about KD when he went to GS? Them not getting the ball as much is about the OUTPUT but doesn't mean they didn't play to their strengths. Bosh/Wade/KLove were put in positions that weren't their strengths. And that's going by their words, not my interpretation..

On another note, do you remember Lebron ever adjusting his game for someone else?

Im sure there's no correlation with him also playing the 2nd lowest amount of minutes he ever has
