When Russell Westbrook left the Denver Nuggets and joined the Sacramento Kings, fans weren't sure what to make of the whole situation. All they knew is that he turned his player option down. It turns out the Nuggets told him they didn't want him back and asked him to turn that option down.
Now in his 18th NBA season, it's safe to say that Westbrook is a verifiable legend and a future Hall of Famer. He is a former NBA Most Valuable Player, a nine-time NBA All-Star, a two-time NBA All-Star Game MVP, a two-time scoring champion, and a three-time assists leader.
