Thank you, Russell Westbrook. đŤĄâĄď¸
From the explosive young guard in Oklahoma City to becoming one of the most relentless competitors basketball has ever seen, you played every possession with an intensity that was impossible to ignore.
The triple-doubles.
The MVP season. đ
The thunderous dunks.
The impossible rebounds.
The coast-to-coast attacks.
The emotion.
The heart.
The mentality.
But the numbers only tell part of the story.
You never cheated the game. Whether it was Oklahoma City, Houston, Washington, Los Angeles, Denver, Sacramento, or anywhere else the journey took you, there was only one speed:
FULL SPEED.
You changed what people believed a point guard could do and turned the triple-double from something extraordinary into something we almost expected every night.
There will never be another Russell Westbrook.
WHY NOT?
Thank you for the memories, Russ. âĄď¸0ď¸âŁ
