Darius Garland says everyone wanted to be like Russell Westbrook growing up.
“Everybody wanted to be like Russ growing up. Just his explosiveness, his athleticism. The way he cared about the game is something I really, really kept an eye on. He’s going to give it 110% every game. Doesn’t matter how tired he is, how old he is. I actually thought he had like a couple more years left in the tank, to be honest with you, because the way he was going last year [with the Kings] was insane. So yeah, it kind of hurt for the league, but I know he’s sending it off in the right spot, and I know he’s happy.”
