Los Angeles Lakers basketball player Russell Westbrook has revealed who his idol was while growing up learning the sport.
Like all other athletes, one of the biggest stars in the NBA league had her idol because of which, among other things, she fell in love with basketball. As Westbrook reveals, for him it was the newly-retired “retiree” Pau Gasol.
“Very few people know this, but when I was growing up Pau was my favorite player, even before Kobe. I just loved his game. I felt he played the right way. He was the center, I know, but he played the right way – he shot, he added , scored … I can’t say that I based my game on him, I just loved how he played “, said Westbrook.
We remind you that Pau Gasol officially announced the end of his professional career on Wednesday.
