All this love pouring in for Russell Westbrook, and I don't know, part of me is torn on it.
People clowned 0 for years. Got so nasty his wife had to step in and speak out, and he didn't want his own kids at the games anymore. Now he retires and here come all the flowers.
Would've hit different for him hearing some of that back when the whole internet was booing him, you know?
I dunno. Just a thought. Anyway. Be good to people while they can still hear it and while it still matters.
Lu Dort says goodbye to OKC on IG along with a special video:
“Dear OKC,
There are no words that could ever fully express what the 405 means to me, but one thing will always be true:
I'Il forever be grateful.
Thank you to the Oklahoma City Thunder organization for taking a chance on a young, overlooked kid from Montreal seven years ago. To the coaching staff, thank you for pouring so much into me day after day, year after year. To this city, thank you for making this HOME
- not just for me, but for my family. And to my teammates, thank you for every battle we fought together and every challenge we faced along the way.
To YOU, Loud City- I will forever appreciate the relentless support. Through all the highs and lows, you never stopped believing in us as we chased the goal of bringing this city its first championship.
I wouldn't trade my time here for anything. This place helped shape me into the man you see today, and I'll always carry these memories with me. I leave with nothing but the deepest sense of love, gratitude, and appreciation for everyone who made this chapter so special.
With love,
Luuuuuuuuu
5 out”
