Before signing with the Denver Nuggets, most believed that Russell Westbrook's NBA career is virtually over. To be honest, they cannot be blamed as Brodie had back-to-back underwhelming stints with the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers.

Malone, following their most recent win against the Mavericks, presented Russ with the ‘Defensive Player of the Game’ Chain. The DPOG chain has become a staple for the Nuggets this year and Westbrook couldn’t get to wear it until Michael got in a small dig at his star player first.

Denver’s Nikola Jokic and Russell Westbrook made NBA history on Friday night, becoming the first pair of teammates to record a triple-double in the same game multiple times in a single season.

Not even the most miraculous shot of his life was enough to earn Nikola Jokic the fourth quarter off this time. Jokic buried a one-handed full-court heave at the third-quarter buzzer to give the Nuggets a 25-point lead that almost disappeared Thursday night in a 132-123 win over the visiting Sacramento Kings.

Nikola Jokic took an inbounds pass with 1.7 seconds left in the third quarter, turned and let fly with a 66-foot heave that got all net at the other end. “I thought it had a chance, and then boom,” Russell Westbrook said.

Of course, 3x NBA MVP Nikola Jokic has played a crucial role in that as the Joker is making a strong case to win another MVP award. However, another key member of the Nuggets, who is having a terrific season is none other than Russell Westbrook.

The Nuggets played well for three quarters, then let the Kings, who were playing on a second-straight night, back in the game late because of poor defense before closing the deal. Nikola Jokić recorded his 20th triple-double of the year and 14th before the fourth quarter.

Russell Westbrook is having a career resurgence in his first season with the Denver Nuggets, and his rough time spent with the Lakers and Clippers has been left behind.
