what could be more American than a multi-ethnic crowd of college students...wearing cowboy hats and burnt orange, cheering a huge college football win? That's the America I love, no doubt about it. Football is for everybody.
get this racist bullshit all the way out of here.
Russell Westbrook chose OKC when he had every right to leave.
-KD gave up on him in OKC.
-Harden gave up on him in Houston.
-Russ took the Wizards to the playoffs.
-LeBron scapegoated him with the Lakers.
-Kawhi and PG couldn’t stay healthy for him with the Clippers.
-The Nuggets chose Jalen Pickett over him, even though 36yo Russ averaged 16/8/8 with a 22-14 record as a starter in Denver.
The most important thing to understand about Russell Westbrook, that only OKC fans give him credit for, is that the only thing Russ cared about on the basketball court was WINNING.
I’ll say it one last time for the IDIOTS in the back…
Russell Westbrook’s OKC team record in games that he recorded a triple-double was 138-34. THAT’S OVER 80%!
The triple-doubles translated to wins.
Russell Westbrook will be remembered for his loyalty, his competitiveness…and yes, as a winner…even though everyone else around him gave up on him.
And yes, Russell Westbrook is a Top 5 PG of All-Time.
TODAY, they should start building the statue in front of the Continental Coliseum…
because Russell Westbrook built basketball in OKC.
They didn’t value Russ. They didn’t appreciate Russ. They didn’t respect Russ.
I’ll say what Russ didn’t say in his retirement video.
WHY NOT?
OKC WILL LOVE RUSSELL WESTBROOK FOREVER!
Russell Westbrook was the reason I fell in love with the Oklahoma City Thunder and basketball itself
He never went any less than 110%, he lifted up the franchise countless times, he won an MVP, and even after he left he deservingly got a standing ovation every time he returned to OKC
I’m really sad he didn’t get one last shot at a ring because few players ever deserve a championship more than Russ
But I am excited to sit front and center for when that #0 gets raised into the rafters of Paycom Center, nothing will stop me from being there for that and the statue unveiling when that comes around
To one of the greatest players in NBA and Thunder history and the one who made me fall in love with the game, thank you @russwest44
Enjoy retirement Brodie
I often think about how insane this game was.
The greatest Quarterback prospect of this century in Andrew luck vs another first round QB Brandon Weeden
The greatest WR in CFB history
A Stanford team full of NFL dudes
Two programs at the peak of their histories going at it.
@BuffalOKstate JW Walsh is the one that always sticks out to me. Not sure he would’ve been great if he’d been able to stay healthy but we’ll never know how good he could’ve been
I can’t believe I have to say this but you can be a leftist and still root for team USA in the World Cup… and honestly not rooting for team USA simply because you’re a leftist is the most performative shit ever…
