On the court, Jimmy Fallon wouldn’t be able to score a single bucket one-on-one against Russell Westbrook. Truly. They could play an extended game of 1-on-1 for 3 hours a day, every day, for 6 months and Jimmy Fallon still wouldn’t be able to get a shot off **unless** Russell Westbrook let him. The same can’t be said for ‘NBA Jam’, the greatest NBA video game from our collective childhoods.
After winning the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award in 2017, Russell Westbrook doesn’t have anything to prove to anybody. But that won’t stop his closest friends from dragging him from now until forever about the time he lost to Jimmy Fallon (and Boston) in NBA Jam on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
If I was one of Russell’s bros I would be texting him at 4am in the middle of the night on a Tuesday just to remind him of that time he lost to Fallon in NBA Jam. It could be his son’s H.S. graduation and I’d get up there and grab the microphone, Kanye style, to wish congratulations and remind the crowd of the time that MVP Russell Westbrook lost in NBA Jam to Jimmy Fallon.
