Russell Westbrook signing his extension with the #Thunder a month to the day after Kevin Durant left remains one of the coolest things I covered. Russ got the reception he deserved.
From going undrafted to:
2-way contract
5Y/87.5 million dollar standard NBA contract
6 year starter
All-Defensive NBA first team
NBA CHAMPION
Longest tenured Thunder
Lu Dort forever.
Two immigrants.
One American dream. 🇺🇸
@RealStevenAdams
America gave us freedom and opportunity.
Oklahoma gave us a home, lifelong friendships, and memories we’ll never forget.
Home isn’t always where you’re born. Sometimes it’s where you’re given the freedom to dream.
We’ll never forget where we came from and we’ll never stop being grateful for where we are.
Aaron Wiggins will forever be one of my favorite players
From 55th pick, to saving the NBA Finals, to the legendary parade speech, genuinely a Thunder legend in every sense
He saved basketball and helped bring OKC a title
Thank you @Aaron_Wiggins_
The Oklahoma City Thunder are finalizing a trade to send guard Aaron Wiggins to the Atlanta Hawks for two second-round picks (Atlanta's in 2030 and the least favorable of Hawks/Lakers in 2032), sources tell ESPN.
