"Doing what LeBron couldn't do"

Remind me, who won a championship with Westbrook? He played a season and a half with the Lakers. The other 15.5 years of his career have been with other teams---->and other superstar teammates...

Jokic won't win a ring with him this year either, and it's no one's fault, but good attempt at a troll thread

The only guy who should take heat for not winning with Westbrook is Durant. They had 8 years together, and both were in their prime...

Everyone else either played with a post-prime Westbrook, and/or played limited time with him...

Russ wasn't in his prime all 8 seasons wit KD. Earliest his first prime season was 2011. So that 6 seasons from 2011-16.

2013 Russ got injured 1st round and 2015 KD was injured and they missed playoffs so they only had 4 healthy prime runs. Lost to 2011 Mavs, in finals to prime Heatles, 2014 Spurs (Ibaka missed first 2 games they got blown out) and 2016 Warriors. That's champs, some historic teams they lost to and they wasn't supposed to win most those series either. They had some of the worst role player talent and spacin in the league after Harden was traded too. They was battlin 73-9 Warriors goin 7 wit 2nd year Steven Adams, Enes Kanter, Dion Waiters, Andre Roberson, Randy Foye as they 3-8 rotation lol

I mean this is fair, but if KD only had 6 years of Prime Russ, how many did LeBron have? The thread was created to shyt on Bron, so it's a stupid premise...

Injuries are part of the sport, and all things considered, Durant got more years with Prime Westbrook than anyone else Russ played with...

BRON COULDN'T MAKE
THE PLAYOFFS WITH RUSS
AND JOKIC WON A PLAYOFF ROUND WITH RUSS

I was waiting on this nikka to become The Bubonic Plague…instead he played defense, hustled, rebounded & made shots

 

[MyApps]

If Westbrook can continue to hit his open 3s, he becomes the BIGGEST xfactor in the entire playoffs.

If you can't back off Russ, there's no longer spacing issues, and Denver becomes the most DangeRuss team in the playoffs.

He's up against his old team now. Time to prove how valuable he really is.

Winning a playoff series is the bare minimum when the center is the greatest player in the world in the middle of his prime. His '25 Nuggets is significantly better than the '22 Lakers Russ was on. You nikkas don't have an actual point Year 19 LeBron was supposed to do the same thing with an inferior roster as Year 10 Jokic

AD was in Year 10 the year Russ played there, by the way...

 

[Harry B]

But can he reach teh finals with Ilgauskas and Verjao

Also Lakers missed the playoffs with Westbrook as a starting player, but made the playoffs when he came in from the bench although he got shipped off just before the playoffs (as with Jokic), so same same. The season Russ started he started more than 20 games more than Lebron, and 30-40 games more than AD.

Wait..that 22 Lakers missed the playoffs with 4 top 75 players, Bron, AD, Russ, Melo

In your mind LeBron is the GOAT, so in your mind he's better than KD, so why exactly should an inferior player have won with Russ but not Bron?

But I thought LeBron was the not only the greatest player in the world, but the greatest plyer ever? Russ is even older now than he was when he played with Bronze and AD. I don't understand your logic.
