Russell Westbrook is known for his mean and relentless attitude against opponents on the basketball floor. But behind the scenes, everything suggests the dude is a genuinely nice human being.
In his latest display of public kindness, the Rockets star apparently left an insane $8,000 tip for the housekeeping crew in the Orlando bubble. On Twitter, Kendrick Perkins gave him a little shout out for it.
Spoke to Russ Westbrook. Confirmed he left a generous tip & thank you letter to housekeepers in the bubble. He didnt disclose the amount
"They took great care of us. Took the time and energy to do their job at a high level. That was the right thing. I like to do the right thing"

It’s a generous gesture for a group of workers that is so often taken for granted. In times like these, where families are struggling to make ends meet and many are risking their own health to show up to work every day, it’s important that we watch over and take care of one another. These are tough times and any little bit of help can make a huge difference.
In the case of the Orlando housekeepers, none of this season would have been possible without their hard work, and it seems Russ is at least one person who gets that.
Major respect to him and anyone else who might’ve shown them some appreciation.
