Michael Jordan sees himself in Russell Westbrook, praises Thunder star's loyalty (Ball Don't Lie)

When Kevin Durant was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 2015, he called his choice of Russell Westbrook as his presenter “an easy pick,” because his Oklahoma City Thunder teammate was “somebody that’s with me more than anybody, who knows me inside and out,” and Durant concluded his speech by saying, “Hopefully we’ll be here next year for Russell Westbrook’s induction.”

It turns out Westbrook was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame a year later, on Thursday, to be exact, but for some strange reason the five-time NBA All-Star didn’t select Durant as his presenter.
