Russell: I feel like I m in my peak period and reveals that Paul Booker s reaction to losing is different

September 14, recently, Lakers' former player Russell said on the show: I feel like I am at the peak of my career; Russell revealed how Paul and Booker treat losing. Paul will be very excited after losing, and Booker cares very much and will not show it. Russell, 29, believes that his physical and mental preparation is more mature, which helps him maintain a high level of competitive state, emphasizing that he feels stronger, smarter and more cautious, which shows that he has improved his understanding of the game and how he deals with it.

In this offseason, Russell reached a two-year, $13 million contract with the Mavericks. In the new season, he will wear the Mavericks No. 5 jersey and join forces with Davis, Clay and Irving. Last season, he played 58 games for the Lakers and the Nets, averaging 12.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, setting a career low.

Speaking of Booker and Paul's personalities in the show, Russell said: This is why I like Paul so much, because I'll be very excited to see him when he's about to lose. Then you get in touch with people who are less obvious or more concealed, like Booker. When I see him losing and how he hides how much he actually cares, I think ‘this is my brother’. This is also the reason why we are particularly close. He really cared, but he didn't always show it.

At present, Booker is still the cornerstone of the Suns' team building. Paul, 40, returns to the Clippers this summer. He will join forces with Harden, Kat Jr. and Bill to compete for the championship in the new season.
