Oklahoma City Thunder legend Russell Westbrook expressed deep emotion ahead of his upcoming jersey retirement ceremony, describing the honor as a "true blessing." The former MVP, who spent 11 seasons with the franchise, reflected on the recognition in a story published Tuesday.
Westbrook's No. 0 jersey will be raised to the rafters at Paycom Center, cementing his legacy with the organization he led to multiple playoff appearances and an NBA Finals berth in 2012. A photo from October 25, 2017, shows Westbrook energizing the crowd at Chesapeake Energy Arena before a game against the Indiana Pacers, capturing the connection he forged with Oklahoma City fans.
