Nuggets' Russell Westbrook blasted with two-word insult about his ability

21 hours ago 1

Russell Westbrook made two game-losing plays on Tuesday night in the Nuggets' double-OT setback against the Timberwolves.

About 12 hours later, Fox Sports commentator Nick Wright trashed Westbrook's current playing ability.

Wright called Westbrook a "net negative" when it comes to winning games in the playoffs at this point in his career.

"He has not been able to contribute to winning basketball in nearly a decade," Wright said.

He's pretty much right. It didn't work with the Rockets, the Lakers or the Clippers.

It is a cool fit in Denver, where Westbrook's triple-double history joins with Nikola Jokic's current triple-double mastery.

And Wright wanted to be sure we all know he still respects Westbrook's career.

"Russ is an all-time legendary player," Wright said.

But in his opinion, not an all-world player any longer.
