I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine….a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom. It was inspiring as his teammate and everywhere I went, I seen it inspire people from all walks of life, crazy thing is, he didn’t say much, he just showed up. For 18 years. This basketball life is sacred to us as professionals, what we put into that court means everything. Some of us wish we could go back and do things with a little more intent and some can just wipe their hands and be satisfied with the time spent. Who u gonna be? We know what zero was on…keep inspiring in the next phase of life champ. I don’t care what happens, can’t erase what it was…The first YNs, finals run in our early 20s, all star games, seeing each other get injured and bounce back, the bus rides, plane rides, card games, jokes and arguments, the whole thing, memorable!! …to the whole Westbrook family, Nina, the kids, mama Westbrook, big Russ, Ray, Donnell, everybody from luezinger high and ucla and many more that I’m forgettin, much love and Congratulations on a iconic career.

i need people to actually understand what happened here because the numbers by themselves dont do it justice russell westbrook walked into leuzinger high school in lawndale california at 5'8 and 140 pounds wearing size 14 shoes. he did not start varsity until his junior year. he did not recieve a single college recruiting letter until the summer before his SENIOR year. when ben howland took over at UCLA and called leuzingers coach, he wasnt calling about russ at all. he was calling about russells best friend khelcey barrs III, a 6'6 200 pound forward who already had a DePaul offer at sixteen years old and lived directly across the street from him the two of them had the whole thing mapped out. UCLA together, then the league together may 2004. pickup game at LA southwest college. khelcey collapses on the floor and never gets back up. enlarged heart. gone at 16 and here is what a fifteen year old kid decided to do with that. he started walking across the street every single week to do khelceys chores at his grandmothers house. khelcey used to wash his little sister marilyns hair once a week, so russell just quietly started doing that too. marilyn still calls him a big brother to this day. years later when he got his own signature line with jordan brand he made KB3 colorways and worked directly with the barrs family on them so that THEY got to tell khelceys story instead of him telling it for them. he has said flat out that what he wants is for people to know khelcey could have been the best player in the country that same summer russ grew seven inches. UCLA finally offered. two years after that hes the 4th overall pick in the 2008 draft, taken by the seattle supersonics who packed up and relocated to oklahoma city that same week and then for eighteen straight years, 1,301 regular season games and 135 more in the playoffs, he took the floor with a KB3 wristband on his shooting wrist. several of his signature shoes had RIP on one tongue and KB3 on the other. every night. through the MVP, through seven different jerseys, through every season people spent dunking on him online, all the way down to a 22 win kings team at 37 years old he walks away 14th all time in scoring, 5th all time in assists, and with more triple doubles than any human being who has ever picked up a basketball the kid nobody was recruiting. carrying two people the entire way and never once making it about himself i love you brodie. genuinely. thank you
