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.
It isn't death. It is hate. Pure hate.
Not for the Spurs, either.
He made it back to the finals & he's looking around at everyone - EVERYONE - trying to rip each other's souls out & he is 100% certain he knows what happened in Phoenix.
He can't conceal the hate. Using it tho.

DeMeco Ryans after the Texans defeated the Chargers:
“The light is shining bright on the Texans but that light is really reflective of it guys belief in our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. That’s what’s driven our team& I’m so proud of our guys & thankful to the Lord for allowing us to allow our lights to shine though him & just all praise & honor goes to him.”
CJ Stroud on if God is blessing the Texans because of their testimony:
“I don’t want it to ever be confused, I don’t think God is like ‘the Texans are gunna win.’, but I think regardless, win or loss he gets the glory, and that’s up to us, that’s just worship. Him giving us our talents, abilities, & these jobs, he’s more than worthy of all the worship is really why we do what we do. It’s not because we want favor from the lord. In my opinion, you don’t just get favor from the lord just because you give him glory, he deserves it. It’s not because we follow Jesus that we win every game.”
#Patriots QB Drake Maye’s thoughts on social media:
“[You see] all the praise when you’re successful and all the hatred you get when things go bad… Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from. That’s my approach to it.”
Maye says he only cares about what people inside the building and his teammates think.
