The Rusell Westbrook Jimmy Fallon interview on Monday was a huge hit on Instagram. The popular talk show host asked Westbrook if he would be prepared for an immediate return to the NBA should the league resume anytime soon. The 2016-17 NBA MVP replied by saying 'Im always ready'. A day later, popular personal fitness trainer Ron "Boss" Everline offered fans more proof of the Russell Westbrook training by sharing videos of an intense Russell Westbrook workout routine on a beach volleyball court.

Alongside James Harden, Westbrook has picked up right where he left off at OKC Thunder and led the Rockets to a play-off spot before last month's suspension. Russell Westbrook was averaging 27.5 points per game, eight rebounds and seven assists over the course of the 2019-20 NBA season playing alongside James Harden for the Rockets. Last Friday, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver at the NBA Board of Governors meeting claimed that the league is 'not in a position to make any decisions, and it's unclear when we will be.'
