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

[duckbutta]

Nuggets are 2.5 games from being out the playoffs

 

[King Poetic]

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

 

[Bryan Danielson]

lol? Just Bron was the problem?

What about KD? Harden? PG13? KLeonard? And others?

Or we not speaking on them?

Real talk, a strong knock against LeBron is how much others stars have to sacrifice their games for him

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.

 

[Token Moltisanti]

You nikkas are obsessed

 

[G-Zeus]

They have shooters... So Westbrook can thrive

 

[Trojan 24]

An older more washed Westbrook too

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.

Happy for brodie

Plays hard always been one of my favorites

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?

They talking about the year ad played 40 games and LeBron played 54. Let them cook tho

Bron was 38 with Russ, Jokic is 29

Denver is also having their worst season in years
