Legendary guard Allen Iverson recently said that he’s the biggest Russell Westbrook fan and that the Oklahoma City Thunder guard reminds him a lot of himself, which many people would agree on. Westbrook was of course asked about the comments from Iverson and admitted that he was flattered but did he watch Iverson growing up?
“I’m the biggest Westbrook fan I think there is. You know what I mean? Because he reminds me so much of myself as far as his heart and laying it on the line night in and night out. This is a guy who’s going to bring it every single night,” said Iverson.
“It was definitely an honor, Iverson did a lot of great things in this league”, Westbrook said.
So did Westbrook actually watch the great things Iverson did?
“Nah, I didn’t watch basketball much growing up to tell you the truth”, said Westbrook.
Well at least he was honest.
