13-year NBA veteran Quentin Richardson explains why Houston Rockets star Russell Westbrook is his favorite player.
It’s no secret that Houston Rockets All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook plays the game with a constant chip on his shoulder. Russ enjoys terrorizing opponents, defying odds, and proving naysayers wrong.
Russ has faced skepticism and doubt for the duration of his NBA career, and he’s seemingly made it a goal to make his doubters look foolish for underestimating him. Russ has faced doubters since his high school days, as he wasn’t recruited by the basketball factories, such as Kansas, Duke, and North Carolina.
