Russell Westbrook has a new Air Jordan commercial that seems to be subtly taking a shot at Kevin Durant leaving the Thunder.
The commercial doesn’t start out with much controversy. There’s a playground court and Westbrook is dribbling down it.
During his dramatic charge down court, airplane noises set in, and the viewer instantly realizes where this is all leading up to.
Suddenly there’s a runway off in the distance, and no hoop visible. Westbrook jumps from the free throw line (Jordan reference) and the camera shows Westbrook taking off with a “23” below him on the strip.
