Like I I love watching Russ play.
matched
And I think one of one of the weirdness, one of the weirdest parts of that last.
matched
Later half journey as he found his way to the Wizards and the Kings and the Clippers and the Nuggets and all these various stops, where he like kind of wore out his welcome at almost all of them because he wasn't the player he used to be, because of kind of the caveats and the quirks of his game.
matched
But we just started talking about all of that stuff all the time with Russ.
matched
Every time he came to a new team, it was like, okay, that's cool, but let's pour the cold water on this before anyone gets too excited about adding the MVP.
matched
And I feel like in due
matched
Doing that, we've spent the last six, seven years just talking about all of his flaws, talking about all his limitations.

When the reality is, like Russell Westbrook is and has been a player where if you, if you talk to other players in the league, they rave about him.

Kyrie Irving has something that those guys don't.
matched

Russell Westbrook has something that those guys don't.
matched
And and we just got we got so bogged down in the narrativizing and the caveats and who he couldn't be that like I feel like it is a real shame that we kind of lost sight of some of that over the last six or seven years.
matched
And like you're right that the competitive peak of that was certainly with the Thunder team that went to the finals.
matched
But I think for me and for I would imagine a lot of people, when you imagine the platonic ideal Russell Westbrook in your head, when you're when you're thinking back on his career, it is like that 2017 era.
