It didn't quite work out for Russell Westbrook at the Los Angeles Lakers, but there was a sense of optimism when he joined noisy neighbours Los Angeles Clippers in February.
The former NBA MVP left behind the likes of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and joined an exciting roster made up of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Westbrook may have only just joined the Clippers, but he's determined to make things work and also do all that he can for his new team-mates.
Leonard is back to his best after shaking off a troubled injury period, and the Clippers are starting to win again after five-straight losses following Westbrook's arrival. Westbrook has already earned the respect of his team-mates, and he's pledged to have Leonard's back this season.
