From his fashion sense to the the intensity he shows on the court, Russell Westbrook is certainly one of a kind. It's also not surprising to find out how he prepares for games.

Instead of watching game film like other players and teams do, Westbrook admitted that he focuses on something else and that he doesn't really pay attention to the video reviews.

“I don't worry about other people. My job is to worry about what I'm able to do and hopefully they can stop that. Usually I just sit out and chill, relax, I play poker on my phone, play spades on my phone, listen to music. That's about it. I don't really pay too much attention to the game. Personnel-wise I'm able to pick up things very quickly throughout the game and play.”

It will be hard to question Westbrook's ways especially with incredible start to the season. He has been averaging close to a triple-double with 32.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 9.9 assists per game.
