The Lakers introduced their newest head coach Darvin Ham in a press conference on Monday, and the 48-year-old wasted no time addressing how he views the team’s embattled point guard Russell Westbrook.
“Don’t get it messed up: Russ is one of the best players our league has ever seen,” Ham said about the former league MVP, per USA TODAY‘s Michael Scotto. “There’s still a ton left in that tank. I don’t know why people tend to try to write him off.”
