Russell Westbrook opens up about his time with the Lakers before tonight's game

The Los Angeles Lakers are facing the LA Clippers tonight, and Russell Westbrook, who was part of the purple and gold's roster last year, is now their rival.

Westbrook wasn't well-liked by Lakers fans, as his performances left much to be desired, and his high salary limited the team's depth. The team has improved since his departure.

Tonight, both of Los Angeles' NBA teams will clash, with Westbrook set to face his former team. He recently discussed the differences between the two groups.

Russell Westbrook on why he's happier with the Clippers than the Lakers: “Long list. But we don’t got enough time for that today… I’m very grateful for an opportunity and a team that wanted me during a tough time…”
