Russell Westbrook gets another chance, and it's an honor he's earned by doing it.

For weeks, public opinion has suggested that his NBA career is coming to an end.

But Willow never agreed with that.

Now that he's signed with the Kings, he's ready to prove that he still has plenty of fuel in the tank.

This is Russell Westbrook's chance to show that he can still affect winning baskets.

We've seen him do it in Denver: as a sparkplug off the bench, as a seasoned veteran ready to step in as a starter, and as a constant source of instant energy.

Now alongside Domantas Sabonis, Zach LaVine and Demar DeRozan, Sacramento has a proven veteran eager to make a name for himself.

There were no overseas league farewell performances.

Only Russell Westbrook is back in the league, chasing another journey.
