“I played some important minutes that made me value as a player. Everybody’s help has been incredible. I improved my defensive game but I still have a lot to do”, was Abrines’ brief comment on the season.

As for the incredible Russell Westbrook, the Spanish rookie spoke in awe. “Playing next to the top NBA player in the best season the league has seen a while was amazing. It was an honor for me. In 20 years from now, I will tell my friends, my children and everyone else I know that I was there. No one can take that away from me. Russ wanted to make us better players and so he helped me and Domas [Sabonis], he talked to us about the small details and what should we do in the court. He’s unbelievable.”
