This will be a game I watch from wire to wire. It means something for the Wizards because they’re holding on to the last spot for a playin game in the playoffs.
There were high moments with Russell in Oklahoma City, and some tough moments, but the good so far outweighs any of the bad there will always be a part of my basketball heart attached to him.
I love his committemnt to his family, his inner circle, and his beliefs.
Russell is the only other male I know of besides me who will admit to reading Michelle Obama’s book…so there’s that as well.
I hope his son Noah is at the game tomorrow night…I’d love to see him now that I’m a grandfather myself. I’d like to see if Noah runs like Little Robert who runs like Forest Gump.
I thought of Russell on Wednesday as I was waiting for the verdict. I thought of his night in Utah with the two fans. I thought back on what Russell was trying to convey to his family and to the rest of us.
Anyway, I know I speak for most Thunder fans when I say our hearts will always be with you.
