When Kevin Durant was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in November, his last words had a twofold effect. They were a tip of the hat to his hand-picked presenter that night in Tulsa, as well as a statement by the Thunder star.
“Hopefully we'll be here next year for Russell Westbrook's induction," Durant said.
Westbrook is one of seven Oklahomans who have been selected for induction into the 2016 Oklahoma Hall of Fame class. He'll be joined by Troy Aikman, Henryetta; Rita Bly Aragon, Dale; Michael Burrage, Durant; Dan Dillingham, Enid; Rebecca Dixon, Tulsa; and Kelli O'Hara, Elk City.
