Russell Westbrook spent the first eleven seasons of his NBA career with the Oklahoma City Thunder, carving out a Hall-of-Fame resume in the process. 

An MVP, eight All-NBA selections, two scoring titles and eight All-Star selections are just a few of the accolades Westbrook claimed in his time with the Thunder. 

Today, he returned to Chesapeake Energy Arena for the first time as a visitor, as his new squad, the Houston Rockets came to town.

Houston may have been blown out on the scoreboard, though it was no fault of Westbrook's, who finished with 34 points on 14-for-26 shooting.

The Oklahoma City crowd gave Westbrook one last salute as he left the floor.

Russ has nothing but love and respect for the franchise and city he called home for over a decade.
