In a light-hearted moment during the Denver Nuggets’ 128-108 loss to the Houston Rockets, Russell Westbrook had everyone in stitches with his hilarious exchange with Jalen Green. The veteran guard couldn’t help but roast Green after the young Rockets star trash-talked him during the game.
“God damn boy. He used to play on my AAU team talking to me like I’m a little ass kid,”
Westbrook said, addressing the Rockets’ bench. The comment caught Green off guard and prompted laughter from almost everyone on the bench, including Rockets head coach Ime Udoka.
