Los Angeles Lakers’ new addition, Russell Westbrook, has finally returned to his home city. Born and brought up in Los Angeles, he had always dreamed of playing for the Lakers, the best team in LA. This summer, his dream came true as he signed with the Lakers.
Westbrook has a lot of love for the team and city, and it is clearly visible. His first public comment on his trade to the Lakers was an Instagram post captioned: “HomeTeam. WhyNot?”
This shows how excited he was after his dream trade went through. If he manages to win few championships with the Lakers, he could become one of the best LA-born players to play for the franchise.
