Thunder welcome back Russell Westbrook: I felt like I was home

Russell Westbrook honored, embraced by Thunder and fans in OKC return

Russell Westbrook receives a massive standing ovation as he’s introduced back in Oklahoma City for the first time.

Per ESPN, “MVP! MVP! MVP!” the fans roared after Westbrook sprinted from the Rockets’ bench to the opposite sideline, gestured toward the crowd and then held one finger up in the air as his Houston teammates surrounded him near the free throw line.

“Man, some things you can’t put into words, just because I’ve been here so long, so many great memories, great people,” Westbrook said. “Obviously, the best fans in the world, because they come with it, and tonight they came with it.

“The organization, Sam [Presti], Mr. [Clay] Bennett, they do an amazing job of just making you feel home. And I felt like I was home.”
