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's so crazy how Melo spoke this into existence because he literally went through it too and he said he told another player "this could happen to you too" and I think that player was Russ. Why does the NBA treat our legends of the game like this when they still have so much more left in the tank to give? This is so messed up man.
Chatted with some very sweet Oklahoma City fans about Russell Westbrook and what he’s meant to the Thunder.
Westbrook faces a former team for the second straight series.
Russ on staying connected with OKC:
“That place raised me. I’m from LA to the core, but when I got there, those people believed in me. They took me in — my family & my friends. It’s home to me — Anything that’s happening in OKC, for the future and the growth of OKC, I will be a part of.”
Russell Westbrook on the Los Angeles fires:
“My family is safe, but people that I know, close friends and family have lost their homes… Being from LA, never seen anything like this before. Not being able to do nothing is really difficult... It’s gonna be a tough rebuild, but LA is very strong and we can stick together and make something happen.”
“The best thing I can do, obviously this is my job, but go out and try to give people joy and inspiration by going out and playing the game as hard as I can… But also making sure I find ways to help any way I can.”
"My dad used to tell me you never know who's watching... this is an international game, there may be kids or people that flew or drove here..."
Russ on what inspires him to play hard every single game 💪 #NBAinAbuDhabi

John Wall on Russell Westbrook:
“Impossible to guard… Full force for 48 minutes…”
Mike Miller:
“We played them (OKC) in the finals, Russ had 40-something. Couldn’t do nothing about it.”
Prime Westbrook was unstoppable 👀
