Many NBA fans responded on social media.

@FeelLikeGhetti: “Russell Westbrook is an ELITE on ball defender and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise”

@graceofthecurls: “Russell Westbrook has brought a wild energy to the younger Nuggets and I love it”

Matt Brooks: “I love this high step screen that DeAndre Jordan sets, giving Russell Westbrook a full runway to get to the rim.

Great finish from Rus. Still so fast in the open room.”

@PensareBBall: “Russell Westbrook with the worst flop in NBA history. And the refs fell for it. 🤡🤡🤡”

@waltdenver: “Russell Westbrook may still be the most athletic man on the court, but he plays basketball like he’s wearing oven mitts”

@ay_tenm: “I LOVE RUSSELL WESTBROOK ON MY TEAM!!!!!!!! Let’s GOOOOOOOOOOOO”

After the Raptors, the Nuggets play their next game on Wednesday night when they stay home and host the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Westbrook is in his 17th NBA season (and playing for the Nuggets for the first time).

The future Hall of Famer has also spent time with the Lakers, Clippers, Wizards, Thunder and Rockets.
