On Tuesday, Houston Rockets point guard Russell Westbrook hosted a voting event for youth community leaders in the Los Angeles area.

Russell Westbrook has proven to be just as much of an MVP off the court as he’s been on the court. Upon exiting the NBA’s bubble, the Houston Rockets guard left an $8,000 tip to the hotel workers who were tasked with keeping the rooms clean, although he reportedly left his room spotless.

Westbrook has been a beacon of light in the communities he’s played in, including in Houston, where he donated laptops to the youth during the coronavirus pandemic.
