The end of an era. Thanks for everything.

Kawhi being in this is sending me ☠️

I knew we’d be getting a good post after the announcement today. Thank you for all the memories, champ

MITWestbrook dunking on haters even through the end.

Hang this account in the rafters

It’s really a shame Kawhi retired after 2016. He could’ve been a good fit on the Raptors

GPTWestbrook

Embarrassing for your final post to be AI slop :(

You should have retired the account after that racist Lin post

Bro used AI for his last post, hilarious

Holy AI slop. Disappointing last post.

A heartfelt Ai sendoff

did you use chatGPT or Gemini for this? Because kawhi is still playing

Kawhis most recent was last year in 2025, partially eliminated by Russ lol

Rest easy King

Appreciate you bro but that Jeremy Lin post was lowkey weird

Kawhi’s last playoff loss was not in 2016, the fuck kind of AI post is this? Good fucking riddance.

“Playoff outcomes do not lie”

Dude won 2 playoff series ever without KD, going 2-8 in those series lol.

o7 this account deserves to be in the rafters of this subreddit too.

AI schizo slop post.

Rest in Power MIT.

This is a little misleading since Westbrook never won a series with OKC after Durant left

End of an era, I hope everyone finds someone who loves them as much as you love Westbrook.

There’s something those all time greats all have that Westbrook doesn’t. Can’t seem to put my finger on it though.

Another closet racist. Don’t worry, people find out eventually.

It’s sad because I would have favored that Denver team that year in the Finals. He probably would have gotten a ring if they won that game seven. 

Glad you and that bozo WESTBITCH are retiring

Yes, known for destroying dynasties…of the teams he played for.

chatgpt ass post

AI slop post. Appropriate for the most overrated player player in recent memory.

Kawhi not retired yet brother, he may get banned but Silver is a softie, I don’t believe it’ll happen

You could have left Kawhi out of this. lol

Too bad you couldn’t get Michael J Jordan to narrate your retirement

Almost as cringe as the “this is deep” Micheal B Jordan narration lol

Claude Westbrook.

This isn’t symmetry 

At all

Just because they had similar career endings in losing a playoff game doesn’t make it symmetry 

What would they be symmetrical to? I’m not even sure.

Kawhi played after 2016 no?

With Russ not being the best player on those teams

Kawhi Leanord is died in 2016 from Russ play basketball

Win or lose , just have fun!

Tim and Dirk? Russ in his prime and with KD taking down dudes that are almost 40 and in the twilight of their careers is a flex?

Kawhi Leanord

Whatever makes u happy bro

So this is an AI post about the poster more than Westbrook, understood. For a post complaining about narratives though, what a bizarre narrative. Westbrook was a great player, but outlast is such a weird choice to apply here. He’s notably younger than the guys he’s compared against. He’s supposed to do that. That’s not outlasting. If anything outlasting typically goes the other way, the older guy outlasts the young one—Lebron outlasting younger folks, like Westbrook for example. Kawhi, of course, is in a different age group than the other three, and has not retired. I’m not going to run the checks—the post hasn’t either—but what’s described doesn’t seem odd or unexpected. How many older star’s playoff runs are ended by young star? Most I’d guess.

Did anyone actually watch Westbrook in Sacramento? I feel like I have 0 memory of him there.

Did he actually look washed?

The punctuation in the title threw me off.

So, will u/MITWestbrook’s final r/nba post be Westbrook’s Retirement?

Legend Killer

So glad I was here for this saga

Should have been the one to write Westbrooks retirement announcement

Russ stans are the biggest losers out there.

AI slop from a racist poster

LEANORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was secretly hoping Detroit would sign harden and Westbrook, trade for KD. Get Cade and harden and Westbrook their first championship! Would have been so nice

Bro we need you now more than ever. Westbrook is an all time legend with a couple silly seasons at the end. We need his legacy protectorate to hold ground for a couple years before it’s secure!

kawhi got exiled too 😭✌🏾

I downvoted this at first, then saw who wrote it and reversed it. Epic run, Legend.

You will be missed once the season starts. Lots of laughs and memories.

This is actually a really beautiful and wonderful tribute to the man. I hope he sends you some signed shit or you get a chance to meet him some day, I know he would appreciate you.

Spent my 21st birthday watching Russ get a triple double in Miami during his mvp season. Hell of a career for a hell of a player 🫡

Retiring the account.

Well, I guess I’ll leave a comment for history rather than make a joke that you probably had this saved somewhere to post.

Bestbrook

thanks for all the fish

godzilla-heart-attack.jpg

I will miss my Broodie!!

Today’s a sad day man. I’m gonna miss Russ

Love it

15 years from now Wembayama’s last playoff game will be a loss to OKC. Mark my words

be at peace, my king

end of an era. rest in peace!

Goodbye, thanks for the bants

I wish he won a ring.

Just loved his passion on the court. You could never say he didn’t give it all. That’s all you can ask for as a fan of the game. Mr.Why Not so tuff

Thank you for your service 🫡🫡

Thats really cool actually.

Russ was great, amazing even. Averaging triple doubles is something other folks never did in a long time.

As a Blazers fan, I loved to hate him.

In a good way ya know?

Facts 11100000%

rest well king

Make one more post brother about his accomplishment and how much you love him then retire in glory

Rest in peace GOAT.

Thanks for everything OP

Thank you for your service all these years. Enjoy retirement o7

Thank you King

I respect your loyalty and devotion. I hope you find someone else who inspired you the way Westbrook did.

Provided me with great entertainment with your deep dives. You deserve your retirement as a rnba legend just like Russ.
