We’ve got special stuff coming out of the Denver Nuggets camp with Russell Westbrook and Nikola Jokic making history!

Sometimes you forget greatness even when it’s right in front of you. Russell Westbrook is no longer the MVP he once was, but he absolutely still has some of that DAWG in him that he once had! This year with the Denver Nuggets has revitalized his NBA career!

After a stint with the Lakers where he was blamed for all of their problems (in classic Lakers fashion), and then some time with the Clippers where nothing could ever get figured out, he seems to have found a great landing spot. Last night Nikola Jokic and Russell Westbrook each had a 25-point triple-double! This is the second time this has ever happened for two teammates in NBA history! The first time was Jokic and Jamal Murray in the NBA Finals just two years ago!

Russ has found his role as the SPARK PLUG for this Denver Nuggets team. He had 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists last night with a steal and a block for good measure. Watching him and Nikola Jokic play basketball together is just incredible. It reminds of the San Antonio Spurs days with Parker, Duncan, and Ginobili. The passing is incredible and you see a lot of open shots.

The Nuggets are in a spot where they are getting overlooked, and this may be just what they need. They have been the hunted the last two years, now they can go back to being the hunters. And a team with Nikola Jokic, Russell Westbrook, Jamal Murray, and Co., they are hunters!

Congrats to Denver on some history!
