Jordan to introduce Westbrook at state Hall of Fame ceremony (The Associated Press)

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Organizers say Michael Jordan will introduce Russell Westbrook when the Oklahoma City Thunder star is inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame next month.

Hall of Fame officials announced the presenters Thursday for the ceremony on Nov. 17.

Jordan, who now owns the Charlotte Hornets, will introduce Westbrook, who signed a three-year contract extension with the Thunder in August. Westbrook is an ambassador for Jordan Brand.

Westbrook introduced Kevin Durant last year. Durant left for Golden State in the offseason.

The 27-year-old Westbrook piled up 18 triple-doubles last season.
