Please keep u/MITWestbrook in your prayers yall

Damn. HoF career. Held OKC on his shoulders the year KD left. Always played with everything he ever had in the tank. A true passionate dude.

Love Russ and hope the slander can cease now that he’s calling it quits so we can remember how amazing he was at his peak.

Damn this kinda feels like the start of an end of an era if that makes any sense

Hell of a career

Happy trails MVP

😔 I feel like I lost a loved one

NOOOOOO

this is a bummer. what a great career

He deserved a 10-day contract just to have a standing ovation in front of NBA fans. I am really not into farewell tours and pathetic announcements, but a player like Westbrook must have attention of viewers while his last game goes on. Feels bad :/

One of the most disrespected greats of our time. Dude gave it his all on the court and was a good all around person. League was always better when he was hooping. Shame he never got a ring but will no doubt be a first ballot hall of famer. Thanks for the electric moments WB

History will remember him better than the nephews on this sub will.

All-time great. HoF career.

Woah I know he wasn’t getting a lot of interest from teams, but I did not see this coming

Love him or hate him, Westbrook was absolutely insane in his prime, triple double machine, who could slash to the basket at will

Enjoy your retirement brodie. The years haven’t been kind to you. But know this: your energy and drive was most definitely enjoyed by fans across the world. Salute!

Hall of famer.

That OKC team got to the finals too soon in 2012 against the Heat, but I wonder if anything would be different if Westbrook didn’t get side swiped by Beverly in 2013.

Then you have the 3-1 lead lost vs a dynasty GS team. If they win that, do they win the title? Does Durant stay?

Still a great HOF career but a few tweaks in history and I think he would be thought of very differently.

that iconic OKC team will never be forgotten

Was he a perfect player? No but that man always gave it 110% and did everything he could to win. Good for him, earned that MVP

WHY NOT? I will actually miss Brodie. 🤧😢 Say whatever the hell you want about Russ, but they can never make me hate someone who played with so much heart, passion, and joy.

Ruined my day, really hoped Brodie would get a ring someday 

He made the fans feel special. Love westbrook. 

I’ll never forget those violent tomahawk dunks he did in his athletic prime at OKC. They were so fun to watch with KD. Definitely a future HoF

A very outstanding career. Dude was electrifying at his peak.

See you in the HOF, Russ.

You did good Russ

1st ballot and also in the running for Best Player to never win a title

Polarzing player, for sure, but dude gave it 110% every fucking night and that should be admired.

Hall of famer, legend, remembered forever in our memes. All respect.

Hate him or Love him he had the highest motor of any star player I have ever watched 💯

Damnnnn

I’ll never agree with the discourse around this guy. Amazing player. You all need to remember that the idea of someone averaging a triple double seemed impossible for 50 years before Russ did.

A mfn dawg through and through man ain’t nobody forgetting that MVP season he had. Much love to Russ.

I am gutted. My GOAT.

Lakers legend

Side of backboards rejoice

Today is a sad day man. I hope he doesn’t just disappear and he stays in the league in some capacity.

One of the absolute core players of my childhood, THANK YOU BRODIE :)

Man this one hit me hard. Love of Russ transcends the games

This feels like the start of a huge wave. A lot of the great players of this generation will have to retire soon: Harden, Steph, Klay, Draymond, LeBron, Jrue, Derozan, KD, AD, Dame. I predict a tough HOF year in the near future.

Damn. He was always entertaining as hell to watch even late in his career. Insane athlete 

One of my favorites of all time even though I’m not a fan of any team he’s been on.

Explosive player and an all-around good human being, hard to not like the guy.

I can absolutely see him doing alot of good community stuff when he retires. He’s always been a class act regardless of how he played. I remember during COVID he donated food to alot of hospital staff and took time
to greet each person who approached him.

Loved Westbrook, kinda hoped he’d get at least one championship with him still contributing. Still tho, hall of fame career and amazing person.

18 seasons is crazy, doesn’t even feel that long. Enjoy retirement

one of the most fun players to watch in his prime

Who would’ve thought that out of all the 2010s greats, Russ would be the first to go

Guys like Russ starting to retire hits different

One of the all-time greats. Amazing energy, excellent playmaking, electrifying dunks, clutch buckets. 

Helped lead OKC to some of their best seasons and played a major role in establishing them as a viable franchise. 

Led the triple-double revolution and contributed to the rise of positionless basketball by showing a leader in assists could also be a strong rebounder and top scorer. 

One of the most entertaining players who turned countless people into passionate basketball fans. An Olympic champion. Among the best and most memorable players of his era.

I look forward to his number retirement with OKC and his induction into the Hall of Fame. Congratulations on a great career, Russ!

Wow.

Westbrick

Fucking finally cya loser

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Damn. I always thought Russ was one of those players who were too good not to win a ring and it was only a matter of time before he did. I was always rooting for him whenever he was.

Helluva career.

let’s be real, nobody was offering him a contract

Can’t believe a guy I was Facebook friends with is headed to the Hall of Fame

Happy trails, my guy!

I know all the nephews are memeing it up, but people should remember that Westbrook in his prime was going toe to toe with the greats.

First Ballot Hall of Famer. Was a joy to watch him play.

Wizards legend 🫡
