So just to fact-check the popular narrative, Russell’s journey to Houston started with a phone call from you, James. He said he was interested, and then the Rockets front office made it happen. Harden: That simple. If the goal was for you guys to play together again, did you ever discuss James going back to OKC? Westbrook: Discuss James coming to OKC? Yeah. Westbrook: Oh, nah! [laughs] No, that wasn’t a thought. Harden: It’s impossible. It’s impossible? Harden: It’s impossible. Why? Westbrook: I never thought about that until now. [laughs]

What does that player need to be to earn a signature sneaker? Harden: The whole package. Westbrook: You can’t just be one-dimensional. I didn’t deserve a signature shoe for a while, because I didn’t earn it. But I’ve earned my way, and now I have my own. I’m realistic when it pertains to that. Some players just get a shoe. Like James said: You gotta have the package. The fan base. Your play gotta speak, obviously. Outside of basketball, whatever else you got going on. You gotta be “that guy” to be able to have a shoe. Because nowadays everybody got a shoe. [laughs]

Storyline: Sneaker Deals
GQ: What is the first memory that you have of each other? Russell Westbrook: We grew up in the Boys & Girls Club. But obviously, being in L.A., playing around the same circuit, me and James played in the same league. It was like an All-American joint. James was a little chubby left-handed dude. [laughs] Who was better then? Westbrook: James for sure. He’s always been very, very talented. And he was younger than I was. James Harden: I was.

James, you’re someone who knows Russ well; what’s something you hear about him often that’s a misconception? Harden: Um, that he’s crazy. I think people just see the passion that he plays with on the court and then think that that’s who he is off the court as well. But he’s a pretty chill, cool guy. He’s very family-oriented and has a tight group of friends that he’s known since high school. He don’t do all the extra nonsense. I think that’s why we relate so much. Westbrook: I always give the example: When you go to work, you’re in a different mode, right? Doesn’t mean that’s how I am all the time. You can’t assume that I’m this intense guy. But it doesn’t bother me, because I know who I am.
