"Basketball is the axis that allows me to do the things that I do. I have so much love for the game, ..." — Russell Westbrook

My childhood, I wouldn't say it was bad. It helped me grow up. I stayed out of trouble. My parents taught me what's wrong and right, and knowing that I had a little brother following me, I had to make sure I was doing the right thing so he knows what's right, too. I was in the house nine days out of 10. There wasn't nothing good outside for me.

You see how can you help your team, help yourself improve, and that's what I try to figure out throughout the season.

When I was younger, I was into fashion, but I wasn't always able to afford and have the platform to express myself and do different things that I'm able to do now.

You gotta win; that's all I care about.
