Math was Russell Westbrook's favorite subject in school. So when the boy said he liked math, the Thunder point guard rewarded him with a fist bump and a helping of mashed potatoes during the exchange.
Westbrook spent Thursday night to connect with kids at his seventh annual Why Not? Thanksgiving Dinner at the Boys & Girls Club of Oklahoma County. Plates in hand, the starstrucked youngsters in line were on their tip toes trying to get a better look at Westbrook jumped up and down like jitterbugs.
However, it was Westbrook who wanted to deliver the red carpet treatment to the hungry children waiting for their dinner and face time with him.
