Russell Westbrook Receives Tribute Video In His Return To OKC

As the Thunder’s point guard, Westbrook averaged 23 points, 8.4 assists, and 7 rebounds. He also made eight All-Star games, won two scoring titles and earned the 2016-17 regular season MVP.

Westbrook will go down as the top pick in the final draft class of the Seattle SuperSonics, who changed their name and location beginning in the 2008-09 season. The Sonics selected Westbrook fourth overall in 2008.

The point guard then teamed up with Kevin Durant and led the Thunder to an impressive run of success, which included four Western Conference Finals appearances and one win. The Thunder made the 2012 NBA Finals but lost to LeBron James and the Miami Heat in five games.
