Russell Westbrook’s Life Mantra–Why Not?

When it comes to life, Westbrook tackles everything from fashion to basketball with the mantra Why Not? Westbrook explains, “My friends and I started that motto early in high school.”

The star athlete continues, “That attitude, that mentality, from way back then: Want to go to Stanford? Why not? Want to play in the NBA? Why not? I was never the best player. Not ever in my life.”

Westbrook adds, “Though even when I was younger, I felt that on any given day I could be. And that mentality’s what’s helped me get over the hump each and every day to where I was meant to go.” Read more on GQ.com.
