OKLAHOMA CITY — The night before he returned to the city where he became an NBA All-Star and most valuable player, Clippers guard Russell Westbrook said he believes that he can still “do anything on the floor at all times” — and Westbrook particularly wants his due as a defender. “Ain’t too many people defending better than me at this point if we keeping it honest,” Westbrook said. “I don’t need it but unfortunately I haven’t had one because, I don’t know,” Westbrook said. “I embrace getting stops and guarding whoever needs to be guarded and I believe I can guard anybody,” Westbrook said. “I know what I’m capable of doing at a very, very high level, whatever’s asked of me for this team, I’m gonna do it,” Westbrook said.
