The Denver Nuggets have added nine-time NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook to their roster during the offseason. Serving as the backup point guard to Jamal Murray, Westbrook has already shown chemistry with starters like Nikola Jokic during preseason play.

As a 17-year veteran, Westbrook is recognized as one of the league's elite players, especially during his tenure with the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he earned the MVP award in 2017. A heartwarming moment arose when he interacted with rookie teammate Trey Alexander, who was born just five years before Westbrook entered the league.

After spending the last three seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers and LA Clippers, Westbrook was traded to the Utah Jazz before signing with the Nuggets. His experience and skill set are expected to significantly enhance Denver's second unit this season.
