As soon as Russell Westbrook started walking toward his courtside seat at the BIG3 3-on-3 professional league Sunday, the crowd at the BOK Center roared with approval.
“Russ is here,” NBA Hall of Famer and Ghost Ballers coach George Gervin said later in the bowels of the BOK Center. “I heard it."
Westbrook has been in Oklahoma City the past week for his Russell Westbrook Why Not? Basketball Camp at Heritage Hall, and will bring his camp to Bishop Kelley High School in Tulsa on Monday and Tuesday.
But between camps, the NBA’s Most Valuable Player made a stop at the BIG3 on Sunday.
