Matt George and Kayla Anderson discuss why Westbrook reportedly wasn’t interested in taking a reduced role behind Darius Acuff Jr., why that decision shouldn’t be viewed as selfish or anti-Sacramento, and how Russ was able to leave the NBA on his own terms after proving he could still produce last season.
