PG and Zubac Share Why Russell Westbrook's Energy & Leadership Is SO Impressive

What's a good story when you see Russell with all this

energy

and practice? What makes his

energy

different from everyone else's? I don't get it like I'm 16 years old in the, you know, before we even warmed up in practice, the guy is jumping. Head to the hoop I don't get it I can't like let's go in I'm 26 I can't move I can't I have Venom around my back My knees hurt I'm like "I can" I don't move until I warm up and this guy we don't even warm up, he's dunking, His energy is crazy, he's running around screaming, talking to everyone talking like crazy.

Don't know. Me and I told everyone this when I got to Oklahoma. Like I thought it was something he was drinking, I'm thinking he likes Red Bulls a lot, like it's something he's doing every game, so it can't just be the norm, but I like it, like Zo said, like he's talking. both with the opponents he is doing. that with development like our player development team, is doing it with our scouting team, so it's good, it's smoke for everyone, as anyone can understand, that's how different team play is from the scouting team in the player development coaches, he's going to add never, never have.

I listened to Russ like there are days where I'm like ah my knees hurt a little bit today a little bit like I've never heard of injuries like nothing hurts like never like I've never thought about it but now when I think about it, he I never said all this hurt, yeah, my wrist hurt, you can always hear someone like, oh, my back hurts, my knee hurts, my ankle hurts, I never heard Russ ever complain, well, everyone We know Russ is known for being a vocal leader, okay, so what's something he said? For you, that's what stands out the most, I think, like I said before, there was a game where he passed the ball to me.

He could have shot my hook. I passed it off as if he was mad at me. Like he made a good play, but. like he really should have shot it and he got mad at me. He says I want you to take that shot every time. He says I don't care if you spin the ball five times if I spin the ball five. times trying to give it to you you miss five shots I don't care you have to shoot that shot every time we are not running for you you are not getting many touches you have to shoot that PG Kawai yo we are going to get ours you have to take your pictures and that's kind of like when a guy like that tells you things like you have to take it, you have to take it seriously, you have to that's Russ, he's going to get up your ass, boy, that's Russ. "That's Russ.

I mean, I always think it's funny. I like to see them like in the Huddle, like when I told them to call Daniel and I was acting like I was playing Call of Duty with him, but I always like to see Russ during". In timeouts I like to watch people's body language and I've asked P questions about what's going on in the Huddle, but Russ specifically I think he does it after the game, but during the game he's always looking for his family, which I believe. I love that he's always trying to find his kids and show them some love, but I think we should shout out: Did you see the couple that guy proposed right behind the bench last night at the Phoenix game and Russ recognized that it was the one? proposal? hilar Russ was standing there and he was like behind your guys bench no, I didn't see him right behind it either and it was so funny and Russ loved it, it could have been so good, I didn't hear any fans, or Che, anything like that. to make me go hey, you were locked up I was locked up you were locked up Russ is always interacting with the halftime show too, I mean, not the halftime show like when you have a time, yeah, it was a little kid the other day that he was singing his heart out, uh, the little boy and Russ was very into it, the boy killed him.

I was like Ain, him, how is he, even though it's not just about basketball, like there's a lot of guys in this league that you know it's hard to talk to. them outside of basketball as you know, their whole life has been basketball and that's the only thing that matters to them, so when you want to leave the court you want to talk to them about something like that, you know it doesn't do much good. true, but Russ is the first time, you know, we arrive after practice, we are in the locker room or in the showers, I don't know, he likes it, you have brothers, sisters, where is your family?, what do they do? ?, he likes things like him, he gets out of his way. he likes to talk to you and asks you about your family what are you doing in your free time what does your family do how is everyone doing he checks on you and asks you how your family is at home as if he has never met them but he likes it he always makes sure Be good, your people are good friends like that, but I told them that one of the most

impressive

things about Russ is that he had a real, genuine connection with everyone on the team, you know?

I mean, that's why he surprised me when he came to the Lakers, you know, in the media he heard all that, yeah, all that talk, he knew what it was and you said you said it too before he came. one of the best teammates you're ever going to have and you know it was so hard to believe with all the media and then he comes and he signs for us and it's like, can I ask you this? he gave you the baby he still gave you the baby like he gave P the other day no no yet I haven't had a baby yet I haven't had a baby yet get you a baby man I have to have a baby I have to get them a baby, we got there, that was fun , it was fun, look, the NBA season is in full swing and the prize selection has you covered when it comes to helping you win some money.
