Russell Westbrook: ‘I don’t hold grudges against anybody, life is too short’

“No process, man,” Westbrook said. “I’m an easy-going guy. I don’t hold grudges against anybody. Life is too short. We’ve been blessed with too many opportunity platforms to walk around and hold grudges and things of that nature. I just continue to …

“No process, man,” Westbrook said. “I’m an easy-going guy. I don’t hold grudges against anybody. Life is too short. We’ve been blessed with too many opportunity platforms to walk around and hold grudges and things of that nature. I just continue to move forward.”

Darvin Ham was coy when asked who’d round out the Lakers’ other two starting spots, assuming LeBron, Anthony Davis and Westbrook were in the first five.
“Kareem, James Worthy, Byron Scott,” Ham said. – 6:13 PM
Mike Bresnahan @Mike_Bresnahan
Does Lakers Coach Darvin Ham think of Russell Westbrook as a starter?
“Absolutely, man,” he said after the team’s first day of practice. “He was there front and center today and did well. He brought a lot of energy…” – 6:08 PM

The Lakers had to say something about Russell Westbrook, and there were platitudes aplenty. But Rob Pelinka and Darvin Ham, somewhat surprisingly, spoke the truth. More here from LA, at @TheAthletic

We have sights and sounds from around the NBA on media day, including my post on the Westbrook-Beverley dynamic that’s apparently done a 180 from their contentious past es.pn/3BLk3dC11:10 PM

More on this storyline

Beverley also shared a never-before-heard story about how Westbrook once gave Beverley’s sister courtside tickets during a game. This transpired during the height of their supposed beef. When asked about his awesome gesture, Russ decided to just play it down: “I just enjoy doing the right thing regardless of what I have with somebody,” he said. “… I thought it was the good thing to do.” -via Clutch Points / September 27, 2022
