As shared by Brad Townsend, a Dallas Morning News sports reporter, on Twitter:

Only @russwest44 would be able to truly confirm this, and I doubt he will, but I'm told that he left a $8,000 tip for the Grand Floridian housekeepers when the @HoustonRockets left the NBA bubble.

Moreover, I'm told, he left the room virtually spotless.

Another reporter, Taylor Rooks, followed up on Twitter with the following:

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"
