Larry Bird is a huge fan of Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook.
During a recent Q&A with ESPN, Bird was asked about the gridlocked NBA MVP race, and who he felt was deserving of the award. He blessed Westbrook with the ultimate compliment.
“I hope he wins 10 MVPs in a row,” Bird said in a Q&A with ESPN recently. “I just love players that compete on a nightly basis and really take the challenge to their opponents.”
Bird went on to say that he loves all of the other MVP candidates like James Harden, Stephen Curry, LeBron James and others.
He’s been special for a month,” he said. “But he’s been special his whole career, too.”
