Russell Westbrook is one of the most misunderstood players in the NBA. The 2017 MVP doesn't get the recognition he deserves and is often criticized more than he is appreciated. This is the first time fans will get to witness Westbrook's story in his own words. Here's what the star said in a statement recently:
“I’m proud to share this documentary and give audiences an inside look into who I really am on and off the court. There are a lot of misconceptions about me but I’m ready to share my story and my journey with my fans.”
The documentary is executive-produced by Russell Westbrook and Donnell Beverly. The co-producer is Raynard Westbrook, Russell’s younger brother.
Russell Westbrook aiming to win his first ring with LA Lakers in 2021-22 NBA Season
Russell Westbrook completed a blockbuster move this offseason to the LA Lakers. The point guard, a California native, will be playing for his hometown franchise for the first time.
Westbrook will also have a legitimate shot at winning his first-ever championship in the NBA. He will be playing alongside his longtime friends LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The trio has formed one of the NBA's latest 'big-threes.' This has made the LA Lakers a top favorite to win the title next year.
Despite all of his achievements, many analysts have claimed that Westbrook's playing style isn't suited for teams looking to win titles.
