Spotlighting Russell Westbrook, the newest member of the Oklahoma Hall of Fame

Nearly fourteen years have elapsed since Michael Jordan overcame the dreaded fear of retirement, thus leaving behind an unparalleled NBA legacy after fifteen heroic seasons. It was during this time that Russell Westbrook entered Leuzinger High School in California as a young 5-foot-8 freshman point guard with a size 14 shoe — while just breaking an astonishing 140-pounds.

Now well over a decade later, Russell Westbrook is officially a member of the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. Not coincidentally, Westbrook’s inductor was none other than the venerated Michael Jordan. Though Westbrook has proudly been a member of the Jordan brand team since 2012, the on-court resemblances between the two players are striking, making Jordan the perfect wingman choice.
