My sports highlight yesterday had nothing to do with baseball.
The Denver Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Lakers last night, and in the process, the veteran leadership from Russell Westbrook was on display.
If you’re not an NBA fan, Westbrook was one of the best players in the league about a decade ago. Currently in his age-36 season, he is statistically removed from his prime, but still effective. He put up 17 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, and a steal. There were two moments in this performance which stood out.
The first came when Westbrook made a three pointer in front of Lakers rookie Dalton Knecht.
