Whats wrong if u not enjoying what u do its pointless. Teams that play with joy and compete win. Bron said he struggled in the finals 2011 cuz he cared too much about proving mofos wrong and being a villain I think Russ went thru the same thing this past season. They play best with passion and joy. Heard in 2011 Bron went days without smiling.

I want Russ traded but some fans read waaaaay too much into things like this
Big props to Russ’ buy in for his new role I just would prefer we trade him for some depth

He’s not wrong though. If you aren’t having fun then you probably aren’t winning games. It can’t be fun being on the losing end, but when you love and enjoy what you do then that helps you win. Westbrook looked miserable in the beginning of the season and this team was losing. Now he looks to be having fun and playing with joy and has been pretty solid.

I think he was more pissed that Russ talked over him

I actually like this from Russ. I think he’s just being positive, basically saying let’s just keep playing fun basketball and play for each other, the wins will come.

You try so hard to push poison narratives. Reminds me of Shelburne.

Russ isn’t wrong. Nobody performs at their best if they’re not enjoying what they’re doing.

Cant play winning basketball if it aint fun. All about mindset

Get this garbage out of here. A still shot of Lebron when he’s surprised means Jack shit

Did LeBron even watch Space Jam 2?

Bron and Russ are on the same page. LeBron is all about the team having fun while playing. That’s one of his #1 priorities ever since St. V. and he’s fostered that at every location from Miami to LA, though it’s been harder in Los Angeles.
Everyone used to talk about how LeBron’s benches look like they’re having so much fun – in fact LeBron used to get criticized for that until he started winning – but it’s happening for the Lakers finally right now.

Nah fuck that lebron is the one who pushed for this trade.
