Michael Malone spoke about Russell Westbrook at Denver Nuggets media day.
The future Hall of Famer is no longer in his prime at 35, but he is a solid role player who can help a team off the bench.
Malone: "I've met with Russ quite a bit. Talked with him. Great conversations. First and foremost, just have so much respect for his body of work. The only thing that he hasn't accomplished is winning an NBA championship. That's the only thing missing from a very, very impressive resume... Russ was in the gym yesterday, and there was just a different energy."
