Russell Westbrook is laughing all the way
Russell Westbrook is in his element: Eight racks of designer clothes before him, four rows of shoes lining the floor, Kendrick Lamar thumping through the speakers. Westbrook stands in the middle of this studio in Oklahoma City eating peanuts, outfits laid out around him for a photo shoot -- a life-size puzzle with neon pants and puffy jackets as the pieces. He's been in the zone for 20 minutes or so when his wife, Nina, walks in behind him carrying their 7-month-old son, Noah, in a BabyBjörn. Westbrook drops the shirt he had in his hands -- literally drops it on the floor -- and skips over to them. As the new father is quickly discovering, when it comes to quality time with his son, everything else is secondary.
