Russell Westbrook joined his sixth NBA team in the 17th year of his career this season when he signed a two-year deal with the Denver Nuggets this offseason.
Because the nine-time All-Star has played on quite a few teams, he's used to dealing with haters from fandoms of previous teams he's played for. For instance, when he steps on the court as a Nugget for the first time this upcoming season, he's expecting to hear boos from the crowd, especially from the opposing team's fans. If there wasn't, he'd be worried—this is a philosophy he learned from the late Kobe Bryant.
