Russell Westbrook may no longer play for the Los Angeles Lakers or Clippers, but he continues to make a positive impact in the Southern California community.

On Monday, Westbrook held a ribbon-cutting ceremony and gave a speech to inaugurate the new Westbrook Academy site in South Gate, California. The nine-time All-Star founded the academy with his wife Nina, business partner Donnell Beverly, and the LA Promise Fund. The institution educates students in grades 6-12 in South and Southeast Los Angeles.

In addition to classrooms, the expanded site and new educational facility feature a film studio, science labs, two wellness centers, and a student lounge.

The Westbrooks and Beverly partnered with the LA Promise Fund to establish the Westbrook Academy in 2021.

Jalen Rose, Victor Oladipo, and Carlos Boozer were among the current and former NBA players who reacted to Westbrook’s Instagram post about the event. Additionally, Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and Trae Young showed their support by liking the post.

With a resume that includes the 2016-17 MVP, two scoring titles, nine All-NBA selections, and three assist crowns, the only achievement missing is a championship. He aims to change that by teaming up with Nikola Jokić and his teammates.

And he’ll have the entire academy cheering for him as he pursues the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
