Darwin Ham gets emotional talking about Russ and praises him for his role off the bench.

LA Lakers Head Coach Darwin Ham picked up his first win ever in the league, as the Lakers beat the Nuggets yesterday at the Staples Centre.

Here's a cool video of the Lakers team celebration in the locker room.


It was one of Westbrooks best game as a Laker where he finished with 18 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists while shooting 50% from the field. This was the second game where Westbrook is coming off the bench to lead the second unit.


Coach Ham made that decision only 4 games into the NBA season, and for now it seems to be paying off. Here's coach Ham talking about Russ and the pressure he's had to deal with.


Its nice to see a head coach having a players back like that. It gives nothing but confidence to Westbrook, when your head coach is praising you to the media. Also good on the LA crowd for cheering for Russ, he has hit an ultimate low in his career and confidence can help a player so much during these rough times.
