Nuggets coach Michael Malone has been equally enamored with Russell Westbrook, likening him to the amplifier from “Spinal Tap.”

He might be far removed from his nine All-Star appearances, but the former MVP thinks he has a lot left to give.

He most recently spent time with the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers over the previous four years. While Westbrook still put up good numbers, the fit could have been better. Westbrook is entering his first season with the Denver Nuggets.
