EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- After he and LeBron James first took the court for a joint workout this summer, Russell Westbrook said one thing became very clear to him.
"It was going to work," Westbrook told ESPN on Tuesday during the Lakers' annual media day, held at the team practice facility.
Westbrook and James shared some sweat equity at a high school gym in Beverly Hills in mid-August, nearly six weeks before James gathered Westbrook and the rest of his teammates for an informal training and bonding trip in Las Vegas this past weekend.
