Russell Westbrook is the big news in the Los Angeles Lakers roster for the 2021-22 NBA season, something that implies a lot of responsibility for the 32-year-old player.
In an interview, he revealed that the memory of Kobe Bryant is one of his great motivations to perform with the Californian organization.
"I'm gonna make sure I do my part and go out and play for him and through him as I compete in this uniform."

Much has been said about who will be in charge of replacing Gregg Popovich as the head coach of Team USA, however everything seems to indicate that the name of Steve Kerr has an advantage over the rest of the candidates.
Kerr has served as one of Popovich’s closest assistants in the US national team for several years, so he would be the most suitable to take on the project, as suggested by reporter Marc Stein.
