Russell Westbrook is 36-years old and in the 17th year of his NBA career and yet he would be at the top of the list if you asked other players to name someone who plays the hardest. His motor might be the most impressive thing about his very impressive game and every once in a while he takes it for a drive to make sure his body can go from 0-60 expediently. Which he did on Wednesday night in the Denver Nuggets' convincing victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Less than eight minutes into the first quarter Westbrook found himself next to Clippers center Ivica Zubac on lane while DeAndre Jordan lined up a free throw. Feeling energetic, the Nuggets veteran warned his much taller and larger opponent that he'd better box out.
