Russ a real one, carrying his and his brothers dream with him every day. Inspirational

After his friend passed, Westbrook would go to his friends house and help his mother with the chores. He’s a real one

After listening to this I can’t understand how people still hate on Westbrook

[samgunz]

Damn.. RIP Barrs... as for Russ.. RIP to the competition.. walking trip-dub

I’m 13 and my best friend died about 3 weeks ago. Basketball has really been helping me in grieving. I wanna be like brook and make it to the nba for him ❤️❤️

[clownnig]

that’s probably why westbrook took it heavily when KD left without saying a thing. because he takes everything personally

[healthcoachrich]

No doubt about it. He definitely plays every game like his last. No one can deny that.

[kristianmca]

I didn’t know this, damn. I smell a championship this year for the Lakers 💜💛

It's just insane how much of a great human being Russell Westbrook actually is and still receives hate. He's humble, gifted, and a kind soul. On the court is a whole different animal, I love his ferociousness on the court and his heart off the court. Great man!

[mckalestevenson]

That’s really tough to go through. My dad recently passed due to the same thing.

Rest In Power Khelcey Barrs Gone But Never Ever Forgotten! You’ve Passed The Alley Hoop To Russell Westbrook And Now He’s Dunking It Like Crazy Because Of You! Sometimes We Start The Journey Like Moses And Someone Else Carry It On Like Joshua! Rest In Power Brother!

Of the many reasons he’s my favorite player, this one is the most inspiring. There’s a big reason Russ values close ones because they are who keep him safe and to be the person he is. He really worked all the way up after such an event and should always be respected for that.

[marfrmnyc]

That’s devastating. At least bro died doing what he loved. May his sole rest easy🙏🏽🙏🏽

[_Gee]

Damn this hit home I always loved Russ he always gave his heart on the floor I could tell he was always loyal and down to ride Russ is top on my list just cus if his heart

We all went to Leuzinger High played JV in the 12th grade and Russel and Kelsey played varsity in the 9th an 10th grades and these dudes is younger than remember the sad day at school when they announced on the school intercom that Kelsey Bars had passed away....Kelsey is my friend and he had a great personality about him rest well bro! And Russel I'm proud of you brotha...its inspirational to see somebody you went to school with make it to the NBA....that was all our dreams...you know it was Russ!

[hoodierell]

I see why a ring doesn’t make or break this man he’s already a champion 💯🙏🏼

[HeftyGames]

Almost cried one of my favorite players of all time.

[kylestewart]

Westbrook is great humanitarian off the court! Did so much for OKC youth and set a high bar for all his team mates todo the same.
