Back in the day, Russell Westbrook was one of the most admired players in the league. Unfortunately, Brodieās days are far behind him and now he canāt seem to avoid the critics, even after leaving the Lakers.
Even though a change of scenery seemed to be the only thing he needed to revitalize his career, Westbrook struggled in his first games with the Los Angeles Clippers too. But now his team is back on track.
In fact, they even overcame a 50-point performance from Stephen Curry on Wednesday night. According to the Warriors superstar, Westbrook has a lot to do with the Clippersā resurgence. And he also revealed what makes him different.
Stephen Curry reveals Russell Westbrookās biggest strength
āI think heās starting to figure out his role if that makes sense, and the way that he can impact their team no matter how teams are defending him,āCurry told ClutchPoints. āItās one of those you kind of have to think creatively because they have a very interesting group of guys on both ends of the floor that can play the game a lot of different ways.
āThe one thing about Russ we all know is no matter what people say about him or how heās playing, he competes,ā Curry added. āI know they love that about him. Every night, he shows up and plays hard. Thatās something you canāt teach. Itās kind of a lost art these days.ā
The criticism on Westbrook has often been unfair. He may have his weaknesses, but weāre still talking about a former MVP with something left in the tank. Fortunately, it looks like Brodie hasfinally found his place.
