The Jackson 5’s number one hit from 1970, “I Want You Back” pumped through the speakers at the Boys & Girls Club of Oklahoma City on Tuesday night, pulsing positive energy through the hundreds of kids, mothers, fathers and family members. For the fifth straight year, Russell Westbrook delivered on young Michael Jackson’s request, and came back to the Boys & Girls Club for his annual Thanksgiving Dinner.
The line of kids waiting eagerly for a plate stretched across the gymnasium, with each one peeking around the side of the queue to catch a glimpse at the Thunder point guard while he ladled out potatoes.
