The Golden State Warriors have the worst record in the NBA, but All-Star point guard D'Angelo Russell still enjoys coming to work.

The Warriors, who were named “Franchise of the Decade” by the Sports Business Journal, have a great work environment and people everywhere you look, according to Russell:

“I just think the quality of people. It's great people around here,” Russell said about the Warriors, via Logan Murdock of NBC Sports Bay Area. “They've been accustomed to winning, they're accustomed to bringing good people in. They just feel super jolly.”

The Warriors acquired Russell from the Brooklyn Nets in the Kevin Durant sign-and-trade deal. Russell signed a four-year, $117 million contract with the Dubs.
