@Tom Bystander I want the thunder to have cp3 but also have Westbrook. Like, look at Chris Paul. He didn't even want to be traded, but he looks so happy to play for them. But when you Westbrook, you have the originality
Dude I was at this game. All I could find were seats in the fucking rafters. Like $200 a piece…had to do it. That place was absolutely insane. Not one person had a dry eye lol.
I’m a grown man and when I watched this live, it was non-stop ugly crying for a solid 5 minutes. Most of the people from Oklahoma, It was easy being a Thunder fan during the KD era.. but I always idolized Russell- -not just for his assassin’s mentality on the court, his will to be the best dad he can possibly be, or his hilarious demeanor on and off the court.. but it was the fact that every time he was on the court..every bone headed play, there was a sequence/crazy shot/dunk/game winner that had me flying out of my seat, yelling louder than I ever had before. Brodie will always be my dude and my favorite player
Coming back in 2021 and watching this it still gives me chills. To remember all russell did for the Thunder organization. I cried when i found out russell got traded to houston.
Oklahoma loves him, even though he got traded without winning them a championship/finals. Other teams have hated players for leaving cause they didn’t accomplish anything, but Oklahoma is really appreciative and thankful for Russ and the way he has helped the team/state.
What a tribute, it brought tears to my eyes. He gave everything for the club and city, one of the most hard working players ever and he is balling tonight so far!
He might have never won a championship but he proved winning is bigger then that, he had heart, loyalty and mental drive which is why the fans and management love him, respect
The way Russ sprints full speed to greet the fans and shower THEM with reverence, applause, and appreciation is all you need to witness to know about who he truly is. 💯

What an ovation there in OKC for Russell Westbrook’s return. Not many players, if any, get such a positive response when coming back for the first time.
Through the good and the bad, I've always supported russ. He got me back into watching the nba again during his mvp era and i truly hope he retires as a thunder.
Dude he is a true warrior he stood against every team alone with out kd and gave it all he had these fans were betrayed Westbrook was betrayed left behind to pick up the pieces how can u not respect someone who stood standing when it all fell apart ... he is the epitome of loyalty . The man deserves a hug from everyone in the stands lmao
@@m_a_s_o_n2337 wdym his athletism is out of this world his passing is great and he a great leader and he has good size all he need is a good shot and he a goat😂😂😂
If he had better shooting, better late game decision-making, and better use of his athletic gifts on defense especially in off ball situations, he could absolutely be the greatest point guard of all time. Among point guards that haven’t retired yet, his career is probably top 3 right behind Steph and CP3.
I like how the PA anouncer anounced him like he was still at okc respect
And then the most under enthusiastic 'oh... and some dude named James Harden...'
Fans had been requesting for him to be announced that way.
Durant does not deserve that

It wasn't Harden's fault man he wanted to stay with Oklahoma and they didn't want to pay him the money

Mason_Baller Videos hell prolly go back after his time in Houston like dwade did
Ong I miss when almost every team had a superstar, even the knicks
He’s definitely gonna go back to retire in OKC
From the looks of it people won't let him get settled in Houston it's just January lol omg

Why?

why would they, he hasnt even won a championship for them lol

He gave blood sweat and tear for our city, he did so much on and off the court for us. He still gets loud cheers every time he returns.
This is what happens when you give your heart and soul to the team every single night.
The fans can feel it too
Class act by them. Russell Westbrook is a beast. What he accomplished and his triple double stats are legendary. MUCH RESPECT!!!
Kd and harden jealous because they didnt have a standing ovation like that😂😂😂
Aaron Gabriel KD got 2 rings
One thing people forget, OKC’s first ever pick was Russell Westbrook, he really was their guy
Antoni Nicolas wrong. Westbrook is last rookie for supersonic. After draft, they move to okc.
Well harden was an average player when he was traded and kd snaked out
Didn’t james harden get one?? Not a tribute video, but people were happy to see him back!

"Special tribute video for a one in a kind player"
Rondo stat pads too fyi
That was honestly beautiful. Russ deserves every bit of love and respect from OKC.
Wow amazing introduction to their hero for so many years. You just know KD is watching and shaking his head.
Shaking his head? More likely crying.
He has to retire with OKC. It’s a must.
this literally gave me goose bumps. .i love it when franchises take the high road
The Greatest OKC player Of All Time 💯🙏

Should've run that nipsey track with it
4 years on and this still makes me cry 😢😢😢 russ my favorite player of all time
James Harden gets no love lol
Harden originally was just the sixth man on the team that got traded and OKC thought nothing of him that much
Adrian Flores carrying them to a finals then several playoffs is nothing?
@Adrian Flores lmao
@Adrian Flores what this nigga talking about
Adrian Flores he did accomplish playoff birth every year he played
One of the best tributes I have ever seen or heard. That crowd was so loud
Class personified! What a great tribute for a great baller from a appreciative organization. Well done OKC!

Not a fan but I teared up watching this. Fella's given so much to the community, and he deserves this kind of tribute.
Here in OK we love this lion-hearted wayward son like no other! All the best for you, Russ!
FIRST (he deserves it for being such a loyal thunder!)
Still til this day the only player to recieve that much love on their first time playing against their previous team!
I loved that they respected him when he came back on another team instead of the opposite. Wonderful sportsmanship
This JUST MADE ME CRY HARRRD💯💯💯💯❤🗣❗ FAVORITE PLAYER OF ALLLL TIMERS

Probably the same feeling as watching a video of your girlfriend and her ex and all the great time they spent together... awkward...
