I love Russ. I love him at his Bestbrook and I accept him at his Worstbrook. When the rumors started floating about him heading to the Clips, I almost immediately talked myself into it being a good move for the team.

He brings the kind of fire and accountability that the team lost after Pat Bev left. I also loved Reggie Jackson on the Clips, and they are surprisingly similar players in that they have the potential to be a hero on any given night, but also potentially take the most ill-advised shot in an effort to will the team to victory.

I just can’t hate on dudes like Westbrook because he obviously leaves everything out there on the floor. He’s the dude I want to see get a ring more than anyone.
