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.

#DAZNMundial
No he visto al Real Madrid perder una Final de Champions nunca.
No he visto a España perder una Final de Mundial. Ni de Eurocopa.
Y hoy tampoco lo veré.
Viva España. Viva su Historia.
Si Cristiano Ronaldo y Leo Messi volviesen a empezar su carrera mañana desde 0 y tuviese que elegir ídolo pero esta vez sabiendo absolutamente todo lo que pasaría en sus carreras… Volvería a elegir a Cristiano Ronaldo Dos Santos Aveiro, no cambiaba nada de lo vivido.
Para mí no necesitas tener un Mundial en tu palmarés para ser el mejor jugador de la Historia del Fútbol.
Gracias por ser un ejemplo en el deporte y en la vida. Te quiero mucho, Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro.
Gracias por todo. Siempre.
