Russell Westbrook brought smiles to enthusiastic fans’ faces on a festive Tuesday morning in Tokyo. Visiting Japan for the first time, he made a promotional stop at a crowded Nike shop in Harajuku as part of the ongoing Russell Westbrook 2018 Why Not Tour. As he stepped on the stage, with NBA and B. League analyst Chris Sasaki serving simultaneously as master of ceremonies and translator, Westbrook was treated to a rock star’s entrance, not unlike the intro to a concert at a stadium. He made previous promotional stops in Shanghai and Beijing. The Tokyo stop was the final stretch of the summer tour.
The Thunder are coming off a 48-34 season, with Westbrook and Paul George expected to shoulder a heavy load on offense for coach Billy Donovan’s club. Westbrook is raring to go. “I feel great, man,” said Westbrook, looking ahead to the upcoming season. “We have a great team, a great group of guys. It should be an exciting season.”
Russell Westbrook soon will be a father of two, The Oklahoman learned Sunday. In a post on Instagram Sunday, Nina Westbrook, the wife of the Thunder point guard, posted a strong suggestion that the couple has a second child on the way.
Russell Westbrook wasn’t just in Los Angeles to work out with his Thunder teammates. On Thursday, Westbrook had his sixth annual Why Not? Basketball Camp at Jesse Owens Community Regional Park in Los Angeles. More than 250 campers received a full day of basketball training from Westbrook, his brother Ray Westbrook, family and other coaches. The camp has sessions for boys and girls ages 7-10 and 11-14. Following the camp, Westbrook took photos with campers and awarded certificates and signed items.
Chris Mannix: “The relationship between Kevin Durant and Oklahoma City was never really torched. Oklahoma City always said the right things about him, and they always did right by him publicly. And the relationship between Durant and Russell Westbrook, while not being great by any stretch, is probably as good as it’s been since he left Oklahoma City. So all those things are gonna factor in and make me think Oklahoma City will at least be on his list of possibilities [in free agency] next summer.”
