Hamm: Westbrook is one of the most professional players I have ever played with. His teammates have nothing but respect and love for him.

November 7 Bucks assistant coach Hamm participated in a podcast and talked about his experience working with Westbrook when coaching the Lakers. He said that Westbrook is one of the most professional players.

Host: How did Westbrook get along with the team in the locker room at that time? Are the claims of those ESPN media outlets true? Can you clarify the truth for us?

Ham: No (true), Westbrook is one of the most professional players I have ever played with. He's always been in tip-top shape, which is why he's still playing in the league today. If I remember correctly, this is his eighteenth season playing this position. Whether it is physical management or technical polishing, he has always maintained a very high level. All teammates who played alongside him - no matter which team they were on - had nothing but the highest respect and sincere love for him. As coaches, we are always thinking about how to bring out the best chemistry in our teams. But once they step out of the locker room, the dynamics between the players are beyond the coach's control.
