This is very dope.

Russell Westbrook surprises 13-year-old boy to fulfill Christmas wish
Russell Westbrook had a pretty standard Monday ahead of him. He'd go to practice that morning, review film of the Oklahoma City Thunder's overtime win over the Utah Jazz the night before, then that evening he'd attend the annual Holiday Assist charity event where the team buys gifts for underprivileged kids.
But in between, Westbrook had a different Christmas wish to take care of.
Janneh is a 13-year-old boy from Moore, Oklahoma, who has spent the last six months at the Children's Center Rehabilitation Center in Bethany. He's there because in June, while riding his bike, a bullet from a drive-by shooting hit him in the neck, crushing his third vertebrae and leaving him paralyzed from the neck down. He has gone through months of surgeries and rehabilitation and is coping with the fact he probably will live the rest of his life a quadriplegic. His one Christmas wish: to meet Russell Westbrook.
And on Monday afternoon, showing up unannounced and entirely by himself, Westbrook met Janneh.
"We literally just got a call that Russell Westbrook was in our lobby ready to see Janneh," said Melissa Richey, director of communications at the Children's Center Rehabilitation Hospital.
No cameras. No handlers. No photo op. Just Westbrook with some signed shoes and an autographed jersey.
"The way that it happened was exactly how it should've happened," Richey said.
"That's something that, I think, made it even more special because you could tell it wasn't a publicity stunt," she said. "It was the kindness out of his own heart to take time out of his day, knowing he had another event that night, to take time to do that was really cool for us to see that."
Westbrook spent almost an hour at the center talking with Janneh. The normally very talkative 13-year-old was "starstruck," Richey said, but eventually loosened up to exchange a little smack talk with Westbrook. You see, Janneh is also a big fan of LeBron James, and claims the Cleveland Cavaliers as his favorite team. And the Thunder play the Cavs on Thursday.
"Russ had to do some of the talking to get him going, but once Janneh started getting comfortable, the smack talk started," Richey said. "It was really funny between the two of them. Russ was such a great sport and gave it to him back. He didn't hold back with him. It was really fun to watch the two of them together."
Janneh hasn't been home since the accident, and before he can return to his house, his family has to raise enough money to renovate the home to be handicap accessible. Working with an organization called ServeMoore, the family is looking to raise $80,000 for a van, to widen the front door to fit his wheelchair through, build a ramp, raise the ceilings in his room and supply a generator.

good guy Lebron

Lebron, Russy, and so forth. I really think this generation of NBA stars got the kindest hearts and are closer to Earth than the past generation. Its probably due to social media.

also learned from the last generation. Jordan is simply an a$$hole and the world knows it now even if they don't want to admit this to themselves, Kareem was right for speaking up on matters he spoke up for, but still gave off an anti social vibe sadly, magic sadly set the example of where to draw the line on how much partying is too much. Iverson kinda set the precedent too with all the gambling and drinking. Larry Bird seems like a guy who is simply a dikk
.They all benefitted from less media exposure though. The players now have to be aware of these things. Imagine if twitter and tmz and the coli existed when Jordan played

Barkley wouldnt be on TV now if social media existed in the 80s and 90s.Imagine if twitter and tmz and the coli existed when Jordan played

I'm really bummed out nobody has made a joke about boston sports fans and being retarded by now
Imagine someone posting a vine of Jordan in the club taking shots of henny or in Vegas the night before a Finals gameThey all benefitted from less media exposure though. The players now have to be aware of these things. Imagine if twitter and tmz and the coli existed when Jordan played
Or someone sneaking selfies at Magic's infamous orgies
Or a chick doing a snap chat at a "Who wants to sex Mutumbo?" party?
