Russell Westbrook registered a notable assist off the floor on Wednesday as he announced his plan to launch the "Russell Westbrook Why Not? Academy" in Los Angeles.
Westbrook announced the formation of a new middle school and high school in the Los Angeles area on Wednesday night. Washington's point guard will partner with the LA Promise Fund as he looks to "cultivate tomorrow's scholars, athletes and activists."
"I am excited to announce my @WhyNotFdn is partnering with @LAPromiseFund to launch the 'Russell Westbrook Why Not? Academy,'" Westbrook wrote on Twitter.
