Oscar Robertson, Thunder hail Russell Westbrook in pregame ceremony

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Before tipoff against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night, the Thunder held a brief ceremony at midcourt recognizing Russell Westbrook and his historic 2016-17 season.

Joining the ceremony was Oscar Robertson, the all-time great whose single-season record for triple-doubles Westbrook broke on Sunday.

"When Russell was on this journey, I just felt I had to be here," Robertson said. "What he's done is historic in nature ... You people should really be proud of him."
