@okcthunder @thundershop Thank you!

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!

Sometimes you don’t even know when you’ve already watched the end.

You had to be there. And now it’s over.

At 1 a.m. on July 6, 2019, the news broke that the Thunder were trading Paul George. It was evident within hours this was the end of an era in Thunder history and that this blockbuster trade would also lead to the departure of our beloved Russell Westbrook.

About twelve hours later, at 1:30 p.m., the Thunder put out a press release announcing that they were signing an undrafted rookie named Luguentz Dort. On this emotional day for Thunder fans, the timing was perhaps less than ideal. The announcement of Dort’s signing may have seemed a jarring answer to the news of the morning. What anyone could hardly have imagined was that the seeds had just been planted for our city’s first championship.

Four days after Dort’s signing, on July 10th, the Paul George trade was officially announced by the teams involved, and a second Canadian - Shai Gilgeous-Alexander - officially joined Lu to begin a new chapter in Thunder history. Fans will have to be forgiven for failing to realize that four days in July, 2019 had just secured the core of a championship team.

Lu would become the longest-tenured player on the 2025 NBA Champions and would set the tone early for the team’s rise to that moment, starting with a spirited breakout performance in the 2020 playoffs.

Lu Dort was not just one of the 18 young men who brought Oklahoma City its first title in 2025, he was a key leader and contributor, and always a fan favorite for his suffocating defense on opponents. The Dorture Chamber will long live in Thunder mythology. Lu Dort will long live in Oklahoma City history.

We wish Lu Dort all the best in this next chapter of his professional basketball journey, and he will always have a home in OKC.

@FreddyLA7 Have you been to any more of the knockout rounds matches in the past 2 weeks?

[Lando @LamMan16]

@FreddyLA7 God Bless Freddy! Hope you enjoyed your time in Oklahoma. I was the one who brought you the Thunder gear. If you ever come back, my friends and I would be happy to take you to a game.

[Lando @LamMan16]

@ThunderNumbers Would you want Westbrook back for the veteran spot? I feel like if we don’t offer him this year then we won’t try to in the next few years.

@Novig 2025 NBA Championship parade
.
- less people / crowd control
- more structured, but still had memorable moments that weren’t forced
- fans felt more together and apart of the celebration
- gave the city a brighter identity
- brought people together
