Denver Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook is in his 17th season in the NBA. 11 of them came with the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he made eight All-Star appearances and won the 2017 NBA MVP award.

Westbrook played with some great players during his time in Oklahoma City, including two-time Finals MVP Kevin Durant. When Durant left for the Golden State Warriors in 2016, it gave Westbrook and others the opportunity to step up even further. One player who really came into his own was 6-foot-7 forward Andre Roberson, who appeared in a career-high 79 games during the 2016-17 season, averaging 30.1 minutes per game, the most of his career.

Roberson finished fifth in Defensive Player of the Year voting that season, and also earned second-team All-Defensive honors. In a post on Instagram, Roberson shared a highlight of him and Westbrook, tagging his former teammate.

Westbrook responded to this in a post on his Instagram story, writing, “Straight up, Brodie!!!”

This was a very fun duo in Oklahoma City. Roberson spent six seasons with the Thunder after making his NBA debut with Oklahoma City in 2013. The All-Defensive forward appeared in 307 career NBA games, averaging 4.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 0.9 assists. .

Roberson last appeared in an NBA game for the Brooklyn Nets, playing five games for them in the 2020-21 season.
