Russell Westbrook Reflects on His Roots in New Samsung Ad
“You always gotta remember where you come from.”
After breaking the record for most triple-doubles in an NBA season, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook was the talk of the league up until his season ended at the hand of the Houston Rockets. In a new advertisement for Samsung, Westbrook takes a trip back to Los Angeles, where he talks about his experience growing up in the inner city and how he wants to use his influence to help others who are in the same situation he used to be in. “Somebody tells a kid they can’t do something, they say why not? Why not him, why not her. Why not anybody who wants to achieve what they want to achieve,” narrates Westbrook. Watch the full video above, as well as some of the best highlights from Westbrook’s MVP caliber season here.
