“Let's please leave our young star alone. CB and I never discussed him passing along the number 0. I didn't want, inquire about, or request the number 0 because I chose to mark this new change with a “new” number. The excitement of the new season has already begun, and unfortunately I know that means the offload of many false stories. Not today! CB and I are locked in and ready to get things rockin' in the mile high city!

    Westbrook doesnt need MIT for this one.

  2. TomorrowKnite

    Didn’t have to but I’m glad he said something. People made this way to big of a deal than it actually was

  3. jbrunsonfan

    I didn’t see the open quotes and thought he signed off as Brodie 4”… I need some sleep baaaad

    I hate how complete misinformation is spread around as fact in today’s media.

  5. X_FlashPanther_X

    That’s some amazing leadership right there. Even if he’s coming off the bench, I was wondering how that story would b effect team chemistry, if it would’ve at all

  6. Must be wild to wake up and see a totally fabricated story about yourself.

    CHEMISTRY SPECIALIST WESTBROOK HAS REPORTED FOR DUTY

    “Not today!”

    I want to make that a meme for the coming season

    Good thing he said something about it. Braun’s been getting unnecessary hate for no damn reason.

  11. ScottSummersEyes

    continues to be the ultimate professional and awesome teammate.

  12. Good!
    People loves to make drama out of nothing.

  13. Last year they made a big deal about how he voluntarily came off the bench to help the clippers and then it turned out it wasn’t that way.

    Not that this is matters at all but sometimes you tell a little white lie for the public

    Westbrook was smart and handled it early lol

  15. OfficialPeenLicker

    People actually cared about this? People need to get a life

    Can never hate on Russ the father, teammate, husband, person. I always thought KD shoulda been the #1 in the OKC days, but after I heard the story of Russ coming to him asking “what can I do to a be better teammate? what can I do to make you stay?” in KD’s free agency year you knew he only wanted the best for his team, his friends, his brothers.

    Could he have altered his playstyle a bit as he aged? Sure. Would that have been sacrificing a valuable bit of one of the most athletic point guards we’ve ever seen? Absolutely. Could he have handled his decline and media scrutiny a little better? No doubt.

    But unlike many I could mention I have never for a second have questioned his heart, hustle, or integrity. Russ is great and one of the greats of our era (especially the what-ifs) but he is a basketball player I respect through and through.

    People make up the dumbest shit this part of the offseason.

    Actually pretty clutch to not even let people be petty about his rookie teammate. Russ has always been a good dude

  19. blacksoxing

    I hate that he even had to address such a rumor BUT if he didn’t you would legit get someone with clout online ragging him for not being able to wear 0 the first time he puts up a bad stat line.

    Might as well choke out the air on the grill right now then let the wind pick them up

    October 13 is the first preseason game at Ball Arena. I’m hoping to see Russell Westbrook take the court that night, alongside my favorite Nuggets stars. Be Loud!!

  21. I’m happy Nugget fans are getting to experience Russ. He is an incredible teammate

  22. KillHimWithHammers

    I know I shouldn’t be but I’m so hype for Westbrook on the Nuggets

  23. prudentWindBag

    I’m no Westbrook basketball fan, but I am a firm supporter of Russell Westbrook, the W human being!

    We are in a real off-season doldrum it seems.
