Steph Curry Reveals What Makes Russell Westbrook Special

Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry has respect for LA Clippers guard Russell Westbrook

Steph Curry and Russell Westbrook have had several battles over the years, and there is a lot of mutual respect between the two players. When asked bout Westbrook after Wednesday night's game vs. the LA Clippers, Curry had a lot of good things to say about him.

"I think he's starting to figure out his role if that makes sense," Curry said of Westbrook's fit on the Clippers. "In a way that he can impact their team no matter how teams are defending him. It's one of those - you kind have to think creatively, because they have a very interesting group of guys on both ends of the floor that play the game in a lot of different ways."

On Westbrook as a player, Curry added, "The one thing about Russ we all know, is no matter what people say about him or how he's playing, he competes. I know [the Clippers] love that about him. Every night he shows up and plays hard. That's something you can't teach. It's kind of a lost art these days."

The Clippers are on a four-game winning streak, and the play of Westbrook is a big reason why. The veteran point guard is a +42 over LA's last five games, and has played his role well. The energy he provides is infectious, which is something Steph Curry alluded to after Wednesday night's game between the Warriors and Clippers.
