Big game for Reggie over his former team. And thoroughly outplaying his former OKC teammates Russel Westbrook and James Harden. He’s had many battles with Westbrook in the past, he’s had disagreements about his role/minutes/contract in OKC back then.

My GOAT, Big Govt finally using a fraction of his true power
Reggie was looking like a top 6 PG tho lol man was even cooking Kawhi
He has the talent to look like the best player on the floor at any given time. Some of his playoff performances for the Clippers were insane.
Reggie Jackson and DeAndre Jordan. The best pg-center duo Denver had ever seen
He sees Westbrook and he is unstoppable.
Signing Reggie to a 2-year contract just above the vet minimum was universally panned by blogbois and some even called it the single worst move of the offseason by any team. What a bunch of fucking idiots
Without DJ, Reggie, and Holiday I think the average age of the Nuggets bench is 14 years old give or take.
anyone that calls those vet\league min signings “the worst of the offseason” isn’t worth listening to, no matter the sport
Ehh you could argue it’s a bit pointless bc he probably won’t do anything come playoff time or isn’t reliable. But the nuggets are of course aware of that and his abilities at this point. Resigning him is both predictable and not a risk. Nuggets don’t have much to work with money wise in general and are simply looking to fill the back up pg spot so keeping him doesn’t rock the boat. It would be nice to have some great six man but If they really could’ve done better then him then they would have.
Dude is just one of those pathetic “of course it was always a great idea “ people who only come out to say that after the fact

Quit making shit up. I never said “of course it was a great idea” or anything like that. My issue is with clowns like Hollinger and Duncan spending entire segments ripping on a 2-year $10 million signing like it was going to make or break the Nuggets season.
Hollinger called it the worst move of the offseason by any team. This is the same guy who called the KCP trade a salary dump that makes the Nuggets worse. What a fucking clown. Him and Nate Duncan.
There’s a specific kind of sports analyst that breaks into the industry by innovating in the analytics game (whether applying them better or creating new useful ones), but as time goes on, thinks that they’re building experience so they can just rely on their gut and eye test. And that is not how that works.
Let. Booth. Cook.
Yeah cause hindsight is the best way to evaluate signings
Objectively, signing the guy who could barely play in garbage time by his current team and was cut for being borderline unplayable by the team he was waived by, on the first day of free agency, using your only non vet min money (tax payer mle) , is a poor use of resources.
I’m glad it’s working out and I’m especially glad Reggie is playing well again. I’m a fan and thought he was washed but he’s bounced back really well. But you can point to basically anything and call people idiots by looking purely in hindsight
He came to the Nuggets with less than two months left in the season and had no time to adjust to a completely new system. That’s why he didn’t play. His year with the Clippers wasn’t great but that entire team was an unstable mess. Prior to that Reggie was always a good player who had moments of brilliance in the playoffs. The idea that he was washed at age 32 was always ridiculous and judging a player based on how he performed following a late-season signing is equally ridiculous, especially when every NBA podcaster made it a point to shit on the Nuggets for giving him a fucking 2-year extension for next to nothing. There was never a player the Nuggets were going to sign for that price that is better than Reggie Jackson.
Revenge game parlay was free money
stfu u degenerate
I love this guy, even as he went wild on us like Giddey on prom night
LOL he did that to you on your home court
right after we played a tribute video for him
Reggie plays to win.
Harden plays to fund his next strip club excursion.
Must feel good for Reggie. Clips said he wasn’t good enough to be their PG and then signed the other PG who hates his guts (Westbrook) Then he comes in and whoops them with 35 year old Deandre Jordan.
I must have missed something, why does Westbrook hate Reggie?
old beef that goes back to their OKC days
I highly doubt he hates him. There’s possibly just some bad blood from their OKC days where Reggie was getting upset about playing time and they ultimately traded him to Detroit. Steven Adams had a book excerpt a few years back where (and I’m paraphrasing here) he basically said the locker room started to not fuck with him after playing time issues and his insistence on starting over Russ.
Reggie basically said Russ is like a brother to him now. So that beef died ages ago
Reggie and Russ are friends btw
FeelsGoodMan
Reggie gets the last laugh every time man. Got a ring, plays in his home state, and is on the team that owns the Clips more than anyone right now
Reggie “big government “shmurda” “ Jackson
Putting that huge revenge game vs Clippers so satisfying
What a luxury to have Reggie
The government has once again bailed them out
Isn’t half the league one of his old teams?
Only 4 teams in total.
You forgot about the Yankees
Joker who? Who needs em
