Russell Westbrook Laloosh

Looks like Westbrook hired Gallinari's PR coach. Here's his chat on ESPN shortly after the Sonics drafted him.

Gary (Phoenix): How relieved are you that this process is over?

Russell Westbrook: Very relieved. I've been waiting all my life for this moment. Now it's like I'm starting all over.

Bryan (Sacrmento): Do you see yourself as a full-time PG in this league or a hybrid?

Russell Westbrook: Full time PG. Playing at the next level, I have to be able to run the team and play the point.

Zach (Jersey): Were you surprised to go so high? Most people had you projected a bit later.

Russell Westbrook: Not at all. I worked so hard to become where I am. Not surprised at all.

kris katarzy (california): how excited are you to go one on one with chris paul during the season

Russell Westbrook: I can't wait. Paul is a great player, but I'm going to come in and do my best and help my team win.

Mike (LA): Going to seattle, what is your take on the potential move out of there?

Russell Westbrook: I'm not worried at all. My family will be able to come and watch. I'm going to go and handle my business whether it's in Seattle or Oklahoma City.

Russell Westbrook: Thanks for the support. Looking forward to talking to you guys soon.

Buzzmaster: Thanks Russell!

Somebody almost tricked him into shit-talking Chris Paul, but then he remembered his talking points and promised to "come in and do my best and help my team win." Good save. I guess he does know how to "handle my business."
