‘I hate you and your brother’: Russell Westbrook has a hilarious verbal spat with Wizards teammate Robin Lopez

Russell Westbrook seems to be establishing a great rapport with his new teammates, judging from his interaction with Robin Lopez.

The Brody is on his third team in 20 months. From the accounts of all his teammates thus far, he’s one of the best guys to have on your side. He’s never shy about what he wants to express, on and off the floor. This makes it easy to ride or die with him.

The Wizards are a team in flux. They have a ‘spooky’ group of players, so to speak. The likes of Bradley Beal, Davis Bertans and Thomas Bryant will constitute probably the best shooting lineup Russ has played alongside.
