'That wasn't for me ... that's for my bro man. That's for Nipsey,' Westbrook told broadcaster Jason Terry after the game.
Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook made history in his team's 119-103 win over the Lakers by posting a triple-double: 20 points, 20 rebounds and 21 assists. The feat has only happened once before in NBA history when Wilt Chamberlain earned the same stat line in 1968 while playing with the Philadelphia 76ers.
"That wasn't for me ... that's for my bro man. That's for Nipsey," Westbrook told broadcaster Jason Terry in an interview after the game, referencing rapper Nipsey Hussle who was shot to death in front of his Los Angeles clothing store on Sunday. Westbrook was one of several NBA athletes who tweeted their reactions to Hussle's death, including Lakers star Lebron James.
"That was tough. Obviously surprised a lot of people," Curry told TMZ."I got to know him last year and had a great conversation about who he was as a person, what he stood for, what his message was, how he tried to inspire people considering where he grew up and how he turned that into something extremely powerful, represented an entire city."
