Long before Kevin Durant left the Oklahoma City Thunder, Russell Westbrook was one of the NBA’s most-discussed players. Forcing himself into superstardom, Westbrook became a household name during the 2012 NBA Finals. He was fearless against the Miami Heat.
While the Thunder came up short, Russell Westbrook firmly had the spotlight and all that came with it. Due to the Thunder losing that series, Westbrook faced a lot of scrutiny. But, it wasn’t like he ever cared, just like KD leaving for Golden State hasn’t fazed him.
Russell Westbrook has begun this new NBA season by being the best player in the league. Scoring at will, Westbrook has the Thunder undefeated and is carrying the load all on his own. Tonight, their real test comes against Golden State, which is a rematch of the playoffs and Westbrook vs. Durant, which fans believe will see Russ score 50 or 60.
But, outside of all that, look at dude’s outfit tonight!
