It’s been an honor, Thank you all.
More to say about this all soon but for now I think my message here covers a lot of it
I hope for nothing but the best for Pokémon Unite in the future
Yeehaw Love you ❤️❤️🤠🤠
I will be missing the 2026 Pokemon Trading Card Game World Championship. This is the first time I will be missing the event since first qualifying in 2011. This was a difficult decision to make as Pokemon is one of the most important parts of my life, but after trying to balance it and starting law school this week, I realized that it was going to be impossible.
I expect this to be only a one-year hiatus as I will be used to law school by next year.
I wrote an article on my history playing in the past 13 Worlds and how I was able to first qualify. If you are interested, the link is in the comments
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.
- Now everybody loved Westbrook. Lmfao
I watched people and sports pages on social media violate Westbrook consistently for LeBron and even KD narratives.
Niggas really show fake love when you’re gone in any form—death, breakup or retirement.
