Well, there it is. This is his last season. His words, not mine.
keep going , Russ. I hope he has a great year
lol same expression as his classic locker room “What?”meme
My son Westbrook 😤
He’ll retire when his body gives out
Gonna miss him if he actually retires
How many players have played for all California teams? He’s so close.
GET IN HERE Y’ALL NEW RUSS REACTION JUST DROPPED
I will never in my life forget watching peak Russ from 2014-2019. Electrifying player that played with his heart on his sleeve. Triple double god. If this is his last season I’m going to cherish it. Man it sucks to see all the superstars in the 2010s age and get old. I remember when Kawhi, Bron, KD, Steph & Russ were running the league at one point.
Hope he has a great year
I love this man, I’m not gonna lie. People talk about Mamba mentality, but I need me that Brodie mentality.
Why not?
Don’t know if this has been mentioned elsewhere but am I correct in thinking Russ is the only former MVP to suit up for the Kings in their franchise’s history?
Russ did you guys lose or did the Jazz win this one?
Players retire when they are forced to whether it’s injuries, being too washed, family, burnout, etc. If he can find someone to sign him and his body is up for it why the hell would he retire?
Which Sacramento King will u/MITWestbrook pin the blame on for Westbrook’s struggles this season and why will it be Dennis Schröder?
He won’t retire til we finally get him like the tabloids have tried to will into existence for at least half a decade
I truly doubt money is a priority at this point. I doubt even winning a chip is a priority. The guy loves to play and is okay with declining physically. He’ll probably still be playing at age 40.
Bro I didn’t know he went to the Kings damn.
I’m sad he’s not on the nuggets anymore. I thought he found a solid home there
He can be the new goat with his athleticism playing in China following stephen Marbury’s step
Love russ but bro 😭 lets be real (id respect no other response from him tho tbh)
Fuck the haters Russ keep it pushing.
Westbrook Subconscious: If LeBron is gonna play to into his 40s WHY can’t I…
I love that
Russell Westbrook is my goat
ive always disliked the idea of going out ontop before you start declining. I find theres so much more substance and respect in a person going from star, to role player, then clinging on getting every last ounce out of their body, and pushing perhaps a few more years through injuries (assuming its logical) before retiring.
Obviously theres nuance here, and it assumes a player is on the roster 100% due to merit still, not reputation or who you know.
Its just such a wholesome fucking story when they battle on and give everything they have.
Wouldn’t expect a different answer from Russ, but the reality is that the league is telling him it’s time. He had some good stretches for Denver, but benefited from the gravity and selflessness of Joker. Literally the opposite of SAC roster.
He’s going to play for every team on 1 year deals with decreasing salary from here on out.
He only has to join a few more Western division teams to have the whole set!
