Before starting the next phase of his NBA career, Russell Westbrook said goodbye to the only franchise he's known for 11 seasons.
Westbrook posted a farewell message, along with a highlights video, to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Instagram:
"I can't even begin to put into words all of the emotions I have right now. It's been one heck of a journey Oklahoma! When I came here, I was 18 years old, bright eyed, and completely unaware of all the amazing things that would soon take place. I grew up in Oklahoma with an amazing bunch of people.
