The 34-year-old made his in-game experience unforgettable with a gesture after the match. It melted the hearts of the viewers as the NBA world took notice of it.

What did Russell Westbrook do for the young fan?

Russell noticed the supporter wearing four jerseys of him, each representing the franchised he played for in the NBA. So, after the match, the point guard climbed up almost ten rows to gift a game-worn signed jersey to the fan. Upon talking about it later, he expressed his desire to appreciate the “dedicated and true fans, especially his age”.

“I’m grateful for that,” the 2017 MVP mentioned while reflecting on the post-game gesture. He added, “I don’t take any of the people that support me for granted,” as he displayed humility while talking about it. Witnessing the passion from the fan, Westbrook said, “just felt like he should get another jersey”.

The supporter seemed excited after receiving the gift from his favorite player as he also thanked the NBA star later. It all happened after an impressive win for the Clippers at home in their second pre-season game. The triumph of the LA side gave Russell enough reason to celebrate, but the fan doubled it up.
