I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine….a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom. It was inspiring as his teammate and everywhere I went, I seen it inspire people from all walks of life, crazy thing is, he didn’t say much, he just showed up. For 18 years. This basketball life is sacred to us as professionals, what we put into that court means everything. Some of us wish we could go back and do things with a little more intent and some can just wipe their hands and be satisfied with the time spent. Who u gonna be? We know what zero was on…keep inspiring in the next phase of life champ. I don’t care what happens, can’t erase what it was…The first YNs, finals run in our early 20s, all star games, seeing each other get injured and bounce back, the bus rides, plane rides, card games, jokes and arguments, the whole thing, memorable!! …to the whole Westbrook family, Nina, the kids, mama Westbrook, big Russ, Ray, Donnell, everybody from luezinger high and ucla and many more that I’m forgettin, much love and Congratulations on a iconic career.

Cameron Carr says he can’t wait to catch lobs from Luka and wants to get that first lob framed:

“Catching a lob from Luka? That’s going to be beautiful. I got to get Luka’s first lob to me framed. I need a beautiful picture.”

Most well written speech I’ve seen in a video game. I don’t think anything can top this

Since 2018, every MVP has lead the league or co-lead the league in Player of the Month awards… except for in 2024 when Luka lead the league & finished a distant 3rd in MVP.

Luka is now going to lead the league in Player of the Month awards and again finish a distant 3rd. Sad!

[Los Angeles Lakers @Lakers]

A lot of numbers. Three letters: M-V-P

[Los Angeles Lakers @Lakers]

23 + 77 = 💯

[Los Angeles Lakers @Lakers]

More than a stat line, it's a statement.

[LakersMuse @LALMuse]

Look at the bench’s reaction to the Luka dagger

They were jumping up and down before the shot even went in 😂
