NBA guard Russell Westbrook was asked about his current free agency status during an interview with CNN's Elex Michaelson regarding the nine-time All-Star's wide-ranging community service (5:37 mark). Michaelson asked if Westbrook wanted to play an 18th NBA season, and he responded as follows: "I love playing basketball, and if it happens, it works and that's my plan." Westbrook once starred on the Oklahoma City Thunder from 2008-2019, making eight All-NBA teams and winning the 2016-17 NBA MVP award. Over the past four seasons, Westbrook has gone back and forth between the starting lineup and coming off the bench. He has still put up numbers and averaged 15.2 points, 6.7 assists and 5.4 rebounds in 29.0 minutes per contest last season for the Sacramento Kings.
