I wonder if he’s loving being with the Kings because he gets to be a high usage player again, or if he dislikes being on a team that loses nearly every game.

I’ve always gotten the impression Russ values playing time over winning. The guy is a legend, but he seems to genuinely enjoy playing regardless of the outcome.

WinterCareful8525

He values both but to a competitor winning might not mean much if you don’t contribute

BackgroundShower4063

5 | 13 hours ago

I hear you. Contributing matters to all the greats. I just wonder if he prefers the role of being “the man” with the Kings or a 6th man on a contending team. I suspect he prioritizes his playing minutes at this stage of his career.

I mean he probably preferred his situation with the nuggets last year but like it or not his minutes and their dependence on him was being reduced.Lol.

he’s always been at his best with the ultimate green light with no expectations of winning

make him try to fit on a team with contender expectations and his brain breaks

look how he beefed with Lebron on Lakers and then exploded in playoffs with Clippers after Kawhi/PG got hurt

nope been watching his whole career. there’s a reason Magic Johnson called him worst performance from a point guard he’d ever seen as far back as 2012

He said he was wrong the very next game.

because Magic is a nice guy who thought Westbrook got his feelings hurt

doesn’t mean he was wrong about his play

Jaded-Sapphire3546 | Thunder

11 | 14 hours ago

No, he changed his mind because Russ played a great game. He was one of the few players to actually show up then.

CantTrussWypipo

-3 | 14 hours ago

how does that change what he saw in Game 2?

Game 4 was also the game Westbrook fucked up from a brain fart by fouling Chalmers and got roasted by the announcers

Jaded-Sapphire3546 | Thunder

I’m just telling you that he walked back his comments. I’ve watched damn near every game the OKC Thunder have played and every single playoff game; Russell Westbrook won them a lot of games and series. He was a distinctly winning player. You are wrong.

CantTrussWypipo

because Magic is a nice guy who thought Westbrook got his feelings hurt. doesn’t mean he was wrong about his play

so have I. Westbrook lost them a lot of those games and series too

when you have as many postseasons shooting under 40% as you do over 40%, you’re gonna lose a lot

Lebrons the 3rd option right now and he’s not doing so hot, Lakers are much better without him. At least when Westbrook fell completely off he learned how to be an effective role player in Denver.
