I asked Russell Westbrook about fellow triple-double monster Nikola Jokic:
“Well listen, ain’t nobody like me. Ain’t nobody like me. We’re gonna stop that right there. Nobody like me. Nikola is a hell of a player, but he’s not me, I’m not him. Obviously, he’s won MVP, a tough guard, excellent passer, knows how to play the right way, competes hard. Tonight we got the best of him.”

I love Russ but man is he sensitive. Yes, Russ. You and Jokic are both triple double monsters. And yes, we understand he can’t be you because you’re your own person. Take the compliment and move on
Well he’s not wrong. Jokic is nothing like Westb***k
All the stories I hear about Russ off court is that he is a great person , but what a loser he is on the court
Westbrook will NOT tolerate people slandering Jokic by comparing them
I love Russ, but his insecurity really annoys me. He’s far too thin-skinned
crazy his compliment is still a praise on himself lol
“Jokic ain’t NOTHING like me. He is far better”
Russell Agent 0 Westbrook
And the Charmin Ultra Soft Player of the Game is…
He right though. Jokic is an NBA champion. Westbrick on the other hand…
Russ soft as a bubble dude
Such a bizarre response, the reporter wasnt doing anything but praising both of them
I’m sure in reality, he’s a great guy and likeable, but he does/says so many things that make him so unlikeable.
Reasonable response, for a 7 year old
Well yeah Jokic is a winner
if Jokic was like Russ we would be calling him Chokic or something
Was Westbrook ever as good as his counting stats made him look?
“He ain’t me” yeah he’s won shit lol
Of course, you aint him Russ. He is a high IQ efficient triple double monster. Also, his triple double comes naturally.
Jokic played 40 minutes and was +12 on the floor. They got the best of the other guys for the 8 minutes he sat.
Well I mean it is true. Jokic is much better. There are levels to this
Lmao, talking about got the best of him while Jokic had an almost 40-point triple double on +12
These gigantic/sensitive egos that so many US basketball players have is why I personally love the influx of European stars like Jokic, Giannis and etc.
They seem more grounded and not so easily offended.
Healthy doses of self deprecation are endearing.
Westbrook is a dweeb. He’s so so insecure in himself. Jokic is on a different planet
This doesn’t seem that bad?
The reporter is saying “a guy, like you, who is a triple double monster” so literally likening them in the one sense in which you could argue they actually are alike, in that they both get triple doubles. And Russ gets sooo insecure within milliseconds. “We’re gonna stop that right there” is so condescending for such a tame comment/question.
A whole lot of westbrook haters in the comments
The difference is Joker’s triple-doubles aren’t just for stat-padding and actually lead to winning.
Bruh literally had 3 straight season averaging a triple double and got hate for it now they want to praise someone else what did they think his response was going to be
Are yall children ? He said nothing but facts and never said he was better than Jokic or that Jokic was better than him. He also proceeded to praise his game. Like little kids when somebody is attacking their cult leader or something.
he’s not like you he wins chips
Those three guys in OKC had all the talent in the world and somehow all 3 ended up being some of the mentally weakest athletes I’ve ever seen.
Don’t get me wrong, Westbrick was a force in his prime.
But for him to even think he’s in the same universe as Jokic is wild.
Yeah, he is better than you, Westbrick.
This guy is 1st team all nba insecurity
Westbrick is so annoying lmao
My favorite player until I’m dead, but got damn he is weirdly sensitive and/or toxic levels of masculinity sometimes
Russ is still stuck at 198 career triple-doubles. Can we let him go wild with bench players these last couple games and get him to the nice 200, before Jokic inevitably passes him?
Ah yes, you are different Westbrick. Steven Adams gifting you 5 defensive boards a game on his block outs is something that Jokic doesn’t experience.
His triple doubles are infinitely more valuable and efficient. So you are right, very different.
Well yeah… Jokic can shoot the ball beyond 12′
I mean Russ is right. Nikola is not like Russ. Nikola is much much better.
Someone posted on this sub a few hours back “Why do people hate on Russell Westbrook?”
Exhibit freakin A
Awwww… Westbrick lost the only thing that made him special
Babe wake up new NBA copypasta just dropped.
It’s crazy how insecure Westbrook is. Like, your in your 30s — stop acting like a child
Nothing he said should really have to guys this mad
