Russell Westbrook and the Denver Nuggets lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder by a score of 125-93. The Nuggets have now been eliminated from the NBA playoffs in the second round (for the second straight season).

Now throw that context into the career of a 17-year veteran like the Denver Nuggets' Russell Westbrook. The explosive, still useful, and still volatile guard is a no-doubt future Basketball Hall of Famer. However, he has yet to win an NBA championship at 36 years old, and you have to imagine that's quite frustrating in itself.

The Nuggets left Oklahoma City dismantled by the Game 7 loss. Russell Westbrook, however, endured a heated moment with a reporter.
