The former league MVP provides energy, connectivity and sure-fire passes that ease some of the burden for All-Stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. He’s “making our life easier,” Leonard says.
Clippers guard Russell Westbrook dunks during the first half of their season opener against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night at Crypto.com Arena. Over the years, the team has tried out All-Stars, future stars, a multiple-time Sixth Man of the Year Award winner, veteran leaders and a future Hall of Famer at the point. All fearless ball handlers with innate abilities to pass and score but none who created much of a stir.
Few would argue with him after watching his four high-flying dunks, each punctuated with a roar, and the sure-fire passes that alleviate the pressure of creating shots for teammates, such as All-Stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Paul George lobbied hard to get Westbrook into a Clippers jersey last season before the team signed him after he was traded from the Lakers to Utah and then waived by the Jazz. The two played together for two seasons in Oklahoma City, where George previously said he played some of his best basketball, thanks to Westbrook.
“It’s the reason why guys play hard around him. When you got a guy that connects with you on that level, it’s easy to come in and be prepared and be ready to play.”
