LOS ANGELES — As soon as you walk into the Mo Ostin Basketball Center on the campus of UCLA, you see it.
A wall adorned with chrome orbs. On each orb on the state-of-the-art practice facility is the name of a donor. One reads “Russell and Nina Westbrook.”
Turn around and a wood-grain sign points you to Westbrook Court, where before entering, a massive photo covers the wall of the Thunder star from back in UCLA days.
On Thursday morning in Westwood, the Thunder had its first chance to shoot around at Russell Westbrook Court, the official practice court for UCLA's men's basketball team.
