I I would say specifically the game where he set the triple-double record against the Nuggets in Denver.
matched
Denver's like fighting for its playoffs.
matched
Off life and Russell Westbrook is just going, going, going, 50 piece game winner from the hash mark, triple double record all in one night, absolutely mobbed by the team.
matched
And it was just like that is who Russ will always be to me.
matched
He's he has all the other stuff too.
matched
He has all the catches, he has all the caveats, he had the kind of like slow decline of his game over time and the mid-range and the finishing and the defense that we've already talked about.
matched
But he was also the guy who I'm so glad you brought that Spurs example because so much of the question earlier, when Russ is like fully in superstar form about like how do you build a team around this guy?
matched
Who do we want around him?
matched
All the hand-wringing over like the Andre Robertsons of the world and whether they can get enough shots.
matched
The subtext of all those questions is Russell Westbrook is blowing our shit up.
matched
How do we have enough people who can just like carry water?
matched
around him to make this worthwhile.
matched
And there there was a period of time where I think that made absolute sense.
matched
And then there's this later period where as you alluded to he never quite adapted in the way that aging stars need to adapt.
matched
And it it turned it into a totally different conversation.
matched
I I could see the argument, especially as it relates to guys like CP, who have like interesting resumes but comparable ones in terms of overall achievement and never quite reached the MVP highs that Russ did.
matched
But this is where he really could have used a Chris Paul style
matched
Third, you know, second or third act that really stuck.
matched
Something more than I think, I think the wizard stint was probably kind of the high water mark of who he was post-thunder, other than like I think the Rockets to me are kind of inclusive of that.
matched
Um, but after that, he never really had that kind of like put his foot down, establish roots anywhere, be something meaningful to one of these teams beyond a one-year rental kind of formula.
