Michael B. Jordan and Raye Escape for a Day Out at Six Flags Together
Russell Westbrook‘s career is heading in a new direction.
The NBA point guard—who made his name playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder over 11 seasons—announced his retirement from the league after 18 years, with assistance from friend Michael B. Jordan.
“Sometimes you don’t even know when you’ve already watched the end,” Westbrook captioned the Aug. 12 video narrated by the Sinners actor that reflected on his storied career. “You had to be there. And now it’s over.”
The announcement was as flashy as Westbrook’s fashion sense, showcasing the athlete’s greatest career achievements in “The Museum of Unspoken Answers.” In addition to earning a 2017 MVP title and winning a 2012 Olympic Medal in London, Westbrook notably holds the record for scoring the most triple-doubles in NBA history.
The 37-year-old—first drafted by the Seattle Sonics before they relocated to Oklahoma—acknowledged what he considers the most important part of his legacy by the conclusion of the artsy short film directed by Sean Kelly.
