Russell Westbrook was excited to join James Harden and the Rockets at his introductory press conference in Houston on Friday.
The former Thunder point guard said he and Harden will mesh together on the floor despite usage concerns, citing his friendship with the 2017–18 MVP.
"We've been friends for many, many years. Since I was 10, actually," Westbrook said. "So we've played with each other in Oklahoma City, and to be able to win something, you've got to be willing to sacrifice some parts of your game, and we both understand that."
Harden and Westbrook were certainly a successful duo during their time together in Oklahoma City.
