For the older OKC Thunder fans, it can be hard to believe Russell Westbrook is now a 10-year veteran in the NBA. It feels like only a few years ago when he was apart of a young core who could turn out to be a super team. But after a decade of triple-doubles, Westbrook is now the one rookies look up to.
A year before going fifth overall in the NBA draft, Oklahoma Sooner’s point guard Trae Young said his favorite player is Westbrook.
Even more than Wesbrook’s ability to play, Young said he admires his intensity and tries to do the same when he takes the floor.
