Although Westbrook has been criticized by many media recently, there is one person who stands up for Westbrook at this time, and he is Clippers star Reggie Jackson. Jackson said: "I see him a lot, we play together a lot in the offseason, and there's nothing wrong with my relationship with him. I want him to be well, he's my senior, he often tells me some things to pay attention to, and I grew up under his teachings. ”
Jackson added: "I am very grateful to him for all that he has done for me in my career! He's always inspired me, he's been teaching me, and especially he's got me ready to be a league starter, going through ups and downs and staying confident. All these things I have gained by observing his game, asking him for advice, and communicating with him. However, when the two of us met on the pitch, we weren't friends. ”
During their time with the Thunder, the two were teammates for 4 years.
