Jokic has weaponized Westbrook's off-ball cutting

The synergy between Nikola Jokic and Russell Westbrook has been amazing. #nba #nbashorts #shorts #basketball #russellwestbrook #nikolajokic #denvernuggets

I don't mind if jokic doesn't win his MVP this season but I'll be happy to see these two get a ring

Jokic truly makes teammates better. Not just the spot up shooters. Absolutely throwing shade with this comment

Jokic is the only guy that reluctantly scores 30 a game. It's a pass first mentality that works perfectly with Russ' skills. That big 3 with Murray can be dangerous in the playoffs.

Jokic demands so much attention from defense cutting when playing with him is ridiculously easy.

[mertonhirsch]

The thing about Jokic compared to any other great is that you get him, and he literally works with any combination of of players at any position.

7 footer with 10 assists and 47% from 3.

Jokic has high - level I.Q. that he's able to read opponents defense and offense just base on players formation on the playing court furthermore about the opponents defense he sees where the weakest defense then that's the time he will set/create plays to attack for an easy bucket

[kimlamberthmatic]

Murray has been struggling for at least the last three years. His buzzer-beaters against the Lakers last playoffs kinda saved him from critics for his terrible season last year. Now he is doing it again. Denver should really consider moving on from him and trading him while he still has value.

Lebron & Jokic are not the same kind of player, Lebron is kind of a self oriented person, it really shows how he played in the court. Jokic isn't a self oriented person, like he said passing makes two people happy, scoring makes 1 person happy

It's like watching NBA basketball with a tad of Globetrotters magic.

This team has literally no weakness, Russ at PG and Jamal if they want can go Stretch 2, MPJ at the 3, Aaron Gordon at the 4, and Jokic at the 5, and Deandre Jordan on the bench, who’s had former experience of being a rlly good player back on the clippers, and other rlly good role players, I’m rlly happy that Russ and Kyrie finally found their home

[dodisusanto]

as much as im a WB fans, murray is still the 2nd scoring opt. westbrook is a perfect addition tho, his cutting/playmaking bringing attention tht opens up Murray's space even further making him score easier

[JohnEDepth]

As a UCLA and Westbrook fan, I fucking love this,

[oldmansportsog]

Don't forget joker and Jamal both have 30 pt triple doubles in same game in finals

[EventualRoads]

Nikola has revitalized Westbrook’s career

[Pie.eating.animal]

Get that ring Brodie! All hands on deck!

[michaelahurt]

Do people not realize even with Murray struggling with his shot the Jokic-Murray lineups are still scoring 126 points per 100 possessions? That's better than the Jokic-Westbrook lineups.

Denver started 11-10 because the _BENCH_ -- with and in large because of Westbrook -- was getting eviscerated. The starters were still fantastic.

We really gotta stop with the lazy narratives.

[sndchamp]

I’m glad the Murray Glaze finally seems to subside. He’s a 6th man in a 1 in a million situation in Denver

[FloridaInvestor]

Westbrook is doing what Murray is supposed to.

[kamp]

Ohhh so he can’t make “everyone” around him better?😂

[davidrace]

Kudos! I through he was cooked... COOKED 🍳
So you gotta give Westbrook his flowers.
