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.
when Russ in 2017 became the first since Oscar in 1962 to average a triple-double it was one of the most unbelievable achievements we had seen
and then he did it again the next season. and again the next. and then again in '21 with Washington
like, we actually became numb to it
I want to win every GAME too.. but stop jumping ship after one game. I’m sure we remember game one against Minnesota.. we had some very important people in the basketball community immediately jump ship.. we know how that worked out.. let’s not do that.. please..
Geesh
We got this true spurs fans… WE must play better and we will!

Football data editor at Opta, @michael_reid11: "We obviously have data for all the Premier League era, so from 1992-93 onwards, but Salah's records were so ridiculous that we realised we had to go beyond that. The amount of times we were doing stats and you'd try to put other players up on a leaderboard but Salah would be just there ahead of them. It would be just impossible to get a table where Salah wasn't above this player because he was so multifaceted. What we tried to do was get maybe two or three Salah records or stats lined up before every game. He got to a point where every time he gets a goal or assist, there's some sort of record he's breaking."
Dylan Harper in Game 3 win vs. Blazers:
27 PTS (22 in 2H)
10 REB
3 AST
9-12 FG
4-5 3PT
+25 +/- (team-best)
Youngest player in NBA history with 25+ PTS off the bench in a playoff game.
For me, the funniest/most disappointing thing about Chicago fans talking about the Iceman controversy, is how virtually none of them know that Gervin played with a rookie Michael Jordan, and just how much regard Jordan had for the OG Iceman.
Ecstatic for Miami. The system we have doesn’t reward a 31-1 “little guy” team enough to be in the round of 64 and STILL makes them prove it.
Insane how people discredited them & now they all look real silly. Awesome team, I know they want more - onto the next.
