“Once you put in all the work pre-practice and post-practice and see it in a game and see it in play, that’s a great feeling.”

Russel Westbrook is a guy that impacts the game maybe like no other player in this league.

That’s my motto. That’s what I stand by. That’s what I believe in. Just continue to tell yourself ‘why not?’ Continue to strive and make the right play to help your team win.

There’s no reason to hold yourself back and say you can’t do something in life unless you go for it and try to do it.

Shoes make an outfit. You can throw on a crazy shirt and crazy pants but you add those shoes – done.

I wear a lot of different things, personally. I don’t have favorites.

I have fears, but I do not fear anything or anybody on the court.

The good thing about me is I just don’t shop high-end.

I mix and match, from top to bottom.

I’m confident in some of the things that I wear, regardless of what other people are wearing.

I enjoy different designers for different seasons and what they bring to it each and every season.

I don’t shop just high-end, honestly. I shop at Zara, I shop at Topshop, I shop at H&M. I shop everywhere.

My Mom and I shopped all the time, she shops all the time, and I was always into fashion. I’ve been blessed to be in a situation where I can now buy some of the things that look good.

I shop all the time, basically every day, whether it’s online or in every city we go to.

Be yourself. It’s the most important part of anything that you do. It’s not fashion. It can be whatever you want to do.

Magic Johnson was my favorite player growing up.

I find ways to make things affordable. If the kids want the looks, they can be able to go afford it.

I play with friends, but we don’t play friendly games.

This is a game of misses. The guy who misses the best is going to win.

We certainly haven’t used that as a motivation, … The games themselves and the time that they’ve put in in preparation for these games is motivation enough. I don’t think that has anything to do with it at all.

It takes me about a week and a half to really analyze a game – play by play.

Nobody likes to fail but failure is an essential part of life and of learning. If your uniform isn’t dirty, you haven’t been in the game.

The game is the ultimate significance to me because it is so important to a lot of people. It has left a mark on our culture to be voted as one of the best to ever play.

At home I mostly stick to online Scrabble, or chess or Risk – games I find far less addictive than the spectacular games created for consoles these days. But, whenever I get the chance I head over to my friend Kyri’s house to play his PS3.

I like to be against the odds. I’m not afraid to be lonely at the top. With me, it’s just the satisfaction of the game. Just performance.
