As Shai Gilgeous-Alexander went to the free-throw line, the OKC crowd seamlessly went from "MVP" chants to a standard ovation. The old saying goes that you never forget your high school sweetheart. Oklahoma City Thunder fans can attest to that with Russell Westbrook.

Russell Westbrook spent the first 11 years of his career with the Oklahoma City Thunder, which is the same team that drafted him fourth overall during the 2008 NBA Draft. It was also with the Thunder where Westbrook won the MVP title during the 2016-17 season.
