Russell Westbrook recently made the news for his gesture towards his Clippers teammates.
During a team dinner at the upscale Delilah restaurant inside the Wynn hotel in Las Vegas, Westbrook surprised everyone by gifting each player a brand-new iPhone 15 Pro Max, valued at approximately $1,200 each.
Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times first reported this act of generosity, detailing how the Clippers had gathered in mid-September for a weekend mini-camp, including demanding workouts and team bonding.
Westbrook’s unexpected gesture left a lasting impression on the players, regardless of their contract status, from those with maximum contracts to those on training camp deals.
While Westbrook’s generosity shines, it’s worth noting that he made a significant personal sacrifice to stay with the Clippers this season, signing a two-year deal that represents the biggest pay cut in NBA history, reducing his salary from around $41 million to approximately $3.8 million for the upcoming season.
