Russell Westbrook had his fair share of ups and downs in recent years of his career. Since his time in LA, he’s been facing harsh criticism from fans and analysts. However, he did have a great offseason after he made his way to the Denver Nuggets.
Westbrook has been in talks recently, whether it was for his jersey number in the Nuggets or his poor shooting skills. But it seems like he’s been listening to the criticisms, as Westbrook was seen practicing his long-range shots in the gym in New York. This has garnered the reactions of many fans, who seem unconvinced even though he’s been hitting all his shots in the shared video.
Russ perfectly picks all the jumpers and hits the net with each shot. However, several fans have been trolling him, stating that any NBA Star can do so as it’s just a part of training. Below are a few exciting reactions posted on X (Formerly known as Twitter).
One fan mocked Russ saying, “Everyone look like curry in that gym.” While the other posted, “Worst high volume jumper in nba history looking smooth.”

Another use trolled him saying, “Everybody shoot good in that gym stop it man.” The other fan replied, “Bro is the second best pg of all time behind Steph what do you expect?”
One fan also shared his thoughts about guards like Russ, “I think guys should be taking more game speed shots. All NBA players hit shots like this. But I think for Russ to get better he need to practice shooting at his Pace.”
These are only a few of the reactions trolling Russell Westbrook; other users have brutal opinions about the Nuggets guard. He might be looking forward to proving everyone wrong this season. But till then, stats are all we have. And that might not be in the favour of the 9x All-Star.
How Will Russell Westbrook Fit Into The Denver Nuggets?
Even at this late point in his career, Russell Westbrook is eager to demonstrate his value as a player. This will be his final opportunity to earn a huge payday next season after a difficult time with the Clippers when he performed well but was forced to serve second fiddle to top players like Paul George and James Harden.
The Nuggets, as a team, are already having trouble staying together. According to recent reports, Michael Malone is at odds with the front office. It raises the question of whether the front staff decided to sign Westbrook despite Malone’s objections.
Currently, it’s unknown if Westbrook will start for the Nuggets or come off the bench. The coaching staff will undoubtedly try to keep their ideas under wraps. For the Nuggets, this is a crucial season when success depends on everything going according to plan.
