The New and Improved Russell Westbrook

Russell Westbrook has been one of the biggest surprises this season and a lot of people credit his success with his new team. But he's made a few improvements himself that I think have majorly contributed to his success.

Jokic is such a funny guy. While everyone tells their GM: "Give me AD", "Give me Dame" or "Build a super team for me", he said: "Give me the guy the world say he is washed".

That Steven Adams intentionally missing 2nd free throw, then pass to Westbrook to connect 3point lives rent free in my head

[dieux]

Another reason for the higher percentage at the rim is that there are usually no big under the rim since they have to stay on Jokic all the time, especially this year where his shooting from 3 is crazy good.

[dimelo]

Love to see westbrook doing well he’s the type of player that leaves it all out there full effort every game

[ZwrP]

seems like Russ picked up a little bit of Jokic's style while practicing with him, so cool to see brodie back in action

[hbg]

Jokic has been training his teammates to always be ready to receive a pass and to frequently cut to the basket. I'm sure it's a breath of fresh air for Westbrook to have teammates that move without the ball.

[beegtea]

"statpadder" narrative pushers need to realize you don't average a triple double just because you want to. Russ is, and still is an elite playmaker

[LolWTF]

Great analysis bro.
Russ explosiveness is still there pretty much but I love his improved strategy when attacking the rim.
It looks more efficient than ever and doesn't look forced.
Russ seems to get his confidence back and that's beneficial to the team going into post season.

I'm really Happy for Russ that he found a Team & especially a great Player like Jokic who wants him He's experienced enough to appreciate that & it's not only that Russ himself became better it's also that Players like Jamal Murray & Aaron Gordon have been under pressure to perform Murray was under a lot of pressure after his poor Start & is now much better Nikola Jokic is really Special He makes every Player around him better & i hope it stays that Way!

[RuinAngel]

Westbrook's assist number to Jokic really amaze me. It is like the Nuggets, for all these years, did not realize that passing the ball to their MVP big man is great offense. It really takes Westbrook to figure out passing through and to Jokic is the best offensive action they have. Like... how did this happen?

Congrats on being so close to 100K Daniel, been loving the content

[teoweihan]

Yea. Congrats Daniel on hitting 100k! And hell yea. Joker is a winner. He knows how to lead and truly... Truly make everyone better. Hopefully Nuggets management do justice to his time in Nuggets.

[Gato_]

So happy for Wes that’s my guy really hoping he gets his chip this year.

[enzorocha]

Just less than 1k to 100k subs; let's goooo, people! Get this man his plaque, he deserves it!

[Taesosmooth]

Russ been capable of playing this well for the past 5 years. He did it in Huston and on wizards and first year on clippers. It was the Lakers that fucked him over foreal

[yELoHQ]

Finally a team and a coach that knows how to utilize Westbrook's under appreciated skill-set. He's looking super good so far. Hope they keep it up for playoffs. Jokic will need all the help he can get.

[Krazyabe]

It really is a pleasure to watch him and Joker play. Right from the start they were making plays that seemed to even surprise themselves at first. They are 2 of the best to ever hit the court and it showed immediately despite it being a seemingly awkward fit. They can make plays no one else on the court is capable of making and it's a joy to watch. When it gets closer to the end of the season, and Russ gets a glimpse of that title he's wanted so bad for so long, Denver is gonna become very dangerous. Russ gonna get that chip!

[maartenvz]

Great video (again), i just love watching the nuggets and especially Jokic creating beautiful basketball.

[supune]

Malone and Ty Lue are underrated coaches. They know how to make great players mesh while taking into consideration their strengths and weaknesses. Joker and Russ have great hooper instincts. Russ in his older years is going to inspire younger guys to find good coaches and to allow them to coached by them.

Gordon the Mall finding good chemistry with Russ on the fast break can still be improved so they have even more ceiling

[AmMadMan]

Jokic and russ winning a ring would literally save basketball form superteam merchants. Make it happen please 🙏
