Involved in a blockbuster trade on the evening of the Draft, Russell Westbrook made a short but intense stint in the American capital.
The former Thunder marsupilami has had another season in the average triple-double, even surpassing legend Oscar Robertson in career triple-doubles. It also allowed the franchise to return to the playoffs after two years of famine.
For young DC players, it’s a big loss. “Russ (Westbrook) was a great teammate. He taught me a lot and I took a lot from him ” explains Daniel Gafford for NBC Sports. The pivot has benefited in particular from the services of the leader over half a season. ” I will continue on this path next year because it has helped me enormously. He was a great player and I loved playing with him. I admired him when he was younger. Just playing with him for a few months was great. I loved. “
A model for the youngest
Renowned for being a workaholic, Westbrook had also distinguished himself by his qualities outside the court. “He goes to the gym with such high standards. He is always at the bottom, he shouts and behaves like a leader on the floor. And outside, he’s one of the best people you can ever meet. ” Same story for Cassius Winston. “He gives himself every day. It’s hard to do. He pays attention to every detail. When you watch a player like him, it wakes you up. ”
The young leader understands Westbrook’s choice to play at his home in Los Angeles. “I’m happy for him. He returns home. He was important to me and to the franchise. He did a lot of things. I have no complaints about his decision. Hope it works for him. “
