Civil War is a perfect litmus test of how you are as a person. If you’re Team Iron Man, you’re an emotional, naive and impulsive person who cannot step back and look at the bigger picture. And ironically, that is exactly who Tony was.
Maturity is realising Steve was absolutely right. He understood what the Accords could eventually mean for the Avengers. He looked at the bigger picture. And that’s why every member of Team Iron Man who stood against Steve eventually realised he was right.
Tony realised he was wrong and came back to help Steve. Rhodey backed Steve against Ross in Infinity War. Black Panther realised he was fighting the wrong battle and helped Steve and Bucky. Natasha called out Tony and helped Steve. Vision also understood Steve’s position and called him for help in Infinity War.
Cap was right. And Mjolnir choosing him in Endgame was the perfect punctuation mark.
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.

“Chipotle, It's just simple and delicious. I'll do anywhere from two to three scoops of chicken, and then sometimes the barbacoa if the time's right”
