[Highlight] Russell Westbrook and Nikola Jokić running the two man game to perfection
Nuggets are playing such beautiful basketball this season. Russ as a facilitator unlocked a whole new level of Jokic playing off ball
Love it so much. Thunder with Russ/Harden/Durant was my favorite team back in the day. I love watching all these dudes succeed.
Jokic being an insane offball player is under-discussed. CP3 and Harden clashed cuz they both provided limited value off all - whereas Jokic is elevating his team and providing value without needing the ball much
Harden has stubbornly refused to play off-ball with every PG he’s played with, including 3 future HOFers. Kyrie was willing to defer to Harden, but having CP3 and Russ playing off-ball for him was dumb since they are both better facilitators than him, and Harden was a better off-ball shooter.
LOL at Russ being a better facilitator than harden
Jokic actually smiling is everything lol
He’s glad someone on the team can finally keep up with his passing/court vision
He smiling ironically because the refs missed a clear foul
Hakeem loved that. So beautiful
Watch out that hook looking even better this season.
I find Russ’s ability to bounce back from a season where people doubt him or question his ability to still have a serious role on a serious team time and again the most impressive aspect of his career. 2 years ago id have said his contending days are over, now im not so sure. It’ll be interesting to look back when he’s finished.
If u look at jokic feet is this a travel ?
No. His right foot is his pivot foot. Once he picks it up he doesn’t put it back down. Think of someone taking a jump shot
Nope, just looks like a pivot to me. You’re allowing to rotate and move one of your feet as long as your pivot foot stays in the same place.
That’s a good question shouldn’t be downvoted for it
