Westbrook will never be a garrulous speaker, but he respected McCaslin’s candor. During the playoffs last spring McCaslin was pregnant, and Westbrook pestered her about when she was starting maternity leave. She didn’t understand why he was so interested. Finally, after a flight from San Antonio to Oklahoma City, Westbrook led McCaslin through the airport parking lot and popped the trunk of his car. Inside was a Maclaren stroller. “He’s more human than people would ever think,” McCaslin says. “He just doesn’t want you to know that.” When McCaslin thanked Nina for picking out the stroller, soon to be occupied by baby Hunter, Westbrook’s wife laughed. “That wasn’t me,” she said. “That was all Russell.”
My favorite part of the Lee Jenkins piece on Russ.
Not sure why, but it just confirmed who I already thought of Russ.
Someone extremely misunderstood. I think he's a much better person than he gets credit for. He cares about loyalty and genuinely seems to try to uplift anyone around him, or anyone who ever cares for him... even a locker room reporter.
Doesn't cause any harm off the court, disciplined, hard working, quiet, just a passionate baller.
I'm rooting for him heavy this year. **** the slander. Dude is carrying a whole town on his back now with no fear, no one should give him **** because of a few turnovers or forced 3's.
. Nobody took this chick serious
