    MJ: Obsessed with winning = Ultimate competitor
    Kobe: The most insane work ethic the athletic world has ever seen (Google some of the stuff he does, it's unbelievable)
    Russell: Plays angry/relentless. "If you dunk/score on me I will kill you on the next play".
    The best players in the game are just plain crazy.

    @lamarse13 5 років тому +9

    Russ is talking about playing the game either in an angry and aggressive mode that seeks revenge Vs. consciously staying focus and playing within himself as well as staying mindful of his teammates and the overall goal of winning. Cognitively he is recognizing the need to move away from the brain stem to playing in his pre-frontal cortex. It's a sign of his maturity and recognizing he cannot angrily dunk on everything the whole game. Jordan made this same evolution and became a better shooter and started winning his championships. Being angry and releasing adrenaline certainly helps you jump higher and dunk on people but to be a good shooter requires muscle memory and consistency that adrenaline does not help but in fact throws off your consistency.

    I love how honest he is about probably his only true flaw. He knows he still flies off the handle and he's doing everything to fix it. I'd rather have a guy who flies off the handle and cares too much about playing his heart out then a guy that needs motivation. Westbrook is gonna have a bummer year. I hope he can do something from an individual stand point to make things work.

    • @youngmetro6757

      Hopefully but the thing about Westbrook is that he's never had a second player on his team that complements his play style. Like how Kobe has shaq and MJ had pippens Westbrook doesn't have that 2nd amazing player, you could say KD but their play styles were polar opposites
