It doesn’t really matter, all I need to do is do my job every day.”nailed Westbrook. “I think the most important thing is to show up in training and do what I’ve always done in this league. Being a professional, getting on the court, leaving everything I can on the court and finally competing at the highest level.”.

There were times when I wished I had played better last season, but my confidence has never been shaken. Bad performances are part of the NBA and so I take it naturally.
