Christian Braun names Russell Westbrook as a significant influence on his basketball growth. According to Bennett Durando of The Denver Post, Westbrook has demonstrated his supportive nature by agreeing to wear the number 4 instead of requesting Braun’s number 0.
Additionally, Westbrook has encouraged fans to “leave our young star alone,” further showing his commitment to supporting and protecting Braun’s emerging career.
This gesture highlights Westbrook’s role not only as a mentor but also as a teammate who values and respects the contributions of his younger counterparts.
“Downhill. Athletic. Tough. Mean. In-your-face,” Braun says of Westbrook’s playing style. “… Those are the type of guys I loved, and I learned from.”
