The great Russell Westbrook plays harder than you. No matter who you are. The fact that he is off the charts talented too is why you know his name. But you get the feeling that even if Westbrook couldn’t jump over the moon he could still pull it down, just by sheer grit.
Russ credits family for his fortitude — the man’s favorite word is Brodie, and he often honors his brother, his real blood brodie. But it doesn’t stop there. Joining the Houston Rockets he joins his other big time bro, James Harden, a Southern California product too.
Now Westbrook’s SoCal shoe is out, the San Diego inspired Brodiego. It’s just in time for him to show off his new partnership/brotherhood with Harden. Houston is about to blast off. Rest of NBA, here’s something you might find yourself saying when asked where’s your next game? “Houston, we have a problem.”
