His retirement comes at age 37. His last season was with the Sacramento Kings where he wore 18 as a player and ended his career after 18 seasons.

Sacramento = 37; Los Angeles = 37.

Khelcey Barrs III (KB3) was Westbrook's childhood friend and high-school teammate. Barrs died in 2004 at age 16 after collapsing during a pickup basketball game. Westbrook has continued to honor him throughout his career. He died 181 days after Westbrook's birthday the 42nd prime number.

Russell Westbrook’s tribute to Nipsey Hussle happened on April 2, 2019, just two days after Nipsey was killed. Westbrook honored Nipsey in several ways: He wore a Crenshaw T-shirt from Nipsey’s Marathon clothing brand when he arrived at the Oklahoma City Thunder arena. Before the game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Westbrook was listening to Nipsey’s song “Grinding All My Life.” Then he put together one of the most extraordinary statistical games in NBA history: 20 points, 20 rebounds, and 21 assists. That made Westbrook only the second player in NBA history to record a 20-20-20 game, joining Wilt Chamberlain. After grabbing his 20th rebound, Westbrook emphatically yelled “That’s for Nipsey!” Westbrook later explained that the performance wasn't really about himself—it was for his friend Nipsey. The interesting part The final stat line was 20 PTS / 20 REB / 21 AST, so people sometimes refer to it as a “20-20-20” game, even though he actually had 21 assists. And there is an important personal connection: both Westbrook and Nipsey were born and raised in Los Angeles, making the tribute particularly meaningful.
