A few weeks ago, Russell Westbrook was traded from the Los Angeles Lakers after a frustrating stint. Despite the high hopes that surrounded his homecoming to LA, Westbrook had to eventually part ways with the LA team and join their next door rivals, the Clippers. However, Lebron James has always had great things to say about Brodie. Meanwhile, a recent viral photo from the 2023 Oscars featuring Savannah James and Russell Westbrook has triggered a lot of speculations among fans about Westbrook and LeBron’s friendship moving forward.

He clearly acknowledged the hard work and dedication that Westbrook had put in to make things happen on the court. However, things seemed to have taken an intriguing turn during the 95th Academy Awards.
