Russell Westbrook spoke to the media, and gave his views on the situation surrounding him ahead of the new season.
Russell Westbrook was part of the trade talks throughout the offseason. There is no certainty that Westbrook will end this season as a Laker, but that doesn’t impact his confidence.
Westbrook is quite confident heading into the new season with the Los Angeles Lakers, and he is hoping for a bounce-back season. He spoke to the media recently and talked about how he feels heading into the new NBA season.
Russell Westbrook said, “I’m all-in on whatever it takes for this team to win. I’m prepared for whatever comes my way. There’s so much optimism on how we can be great, how AD, LeBron, myself — can be unstoppable in my opinion,”
He added, “I’m not even close to being done. I’m super grateful and blessed to be able to go compete year after year, and that’s all I can do is prepare myself, my mind, my body for as long as I play. I’m going to make mistakes. I’m [occasionally] not going to have good games. There will be times and stretches when I don’t play well. I’ve owned that, and there were times last year that I could’ve played better, and I own that part of it.”
Many are hoping for a better season for Westbrook. If he plays for the Lakers for the whole season, there is optimism around the camp that under a new head coach, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook surrounded with young players could be quite good this season.
