Russell Westbrook and Wizards, what a legendary run!

The Washington Wizards started the year catastrophically but they finished in cannonball, like Russell Westbrook.

Some fans of the Washington Wizards have grown when their leaders exchanged John Wall for Russell Westbrook before the start of the season.They railed because their franchise separated from the one who represented the team since his draft in 2010.The one who was supposed to one day lead the organization to the east summit.In the end, he never did better than a second round even if it is not completely his fault.

In any case, what is certain is that the Wizards come out of this largely winning exchange.Because Westbrook transformed them.But not right now.First, it was chaos.Rather nothing.A horrible start to the season.Absolutely horrible.Five defeats in a row then a training ravaged by the COVVI-19 with lots of absent.

It didn't defend.RW had apparently forgotten how to shoot and it was also reduced by a quadriceps injury.Total stampede.Frankly, who would have thought that this team, zero, plagued by dysfunctions and physical seeds, was going to go up the bar?Even in the East, it seemed complicated.

And yet Russell Westbrook and the Wizards have done so.They displayed a terrible record of 17 victories for 32 defeats.The playoffs seemed so far away.But they have won 17 of their last 23 games to finally complete the season in a rush and in the eighth place of the conference.With a reluctant leader, constantly in triple-double or almost, and a united group.

Washington may not pass the play in, because these wizards remain capable of the best but also the worst.If they go to the playoffs, they will probably go out in the first round.But in any case, this fantastic rise deserves to be underlined and to be taken into account when evoking the level, attitude, leadership, courage and even the Legacy of Russell Westbrook.
