By now you know the Houston Rockets have acquired former MVP Russell Westbrook. The Rockets officially introduced him on Friday, July 26th, which officially meant the Rockets organization was permitted to speak about Westbrook and the trade more. They spoke about the trade when it was still unofficial and were fined with tampering.
But as someone who watched the entire press conference, I found myself impressed with Westbrook already. Sure, there hasn’t been a single game played yet, but Westbrook’s attitude and mentality are what stood out to me the most.

After the trade was agreed upon, the wave of doubters and critics came pouring in.
