Russell Westbrook finishes every pregame routine the same way, standing out of bounds deep in the left corner, slightly behind the backboard. He holds the ball under an arm, taking in bets from team staffers. One try? Two tries? Four tries?
Whenever it goes down -- most often after one or two attempts -- Westbrook will hold his pose for a split second, then sprint through the tunnel and to the locker room.
It seems he has spent his career set on proving to no one in particular he's a good shooter. This is just one example.
