VIDEO: Russell Westbrook Was Delighted to See His Bobblehead During Interview After Rockets' Win
By Chris Russo
Even when someone has played in the NBA for over a decade, it's just natural to react like a kid when you see your own bobblehead. Just ask Russell Westbrook, who was elated when he was presented with his after the Houston Rockets' win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

The bobblehead may have helped, considering Westbrook's triple-double of 28 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists led the way in the victory. Of course, Westbrook said, "Sure, why not?" when asked if his success should lead to more bobblehead nights. One could say he's loving his time in Houston so far this year.

It's quite astonishing that Westbrook never had a bobblehead in 11 seasons with the Oklahoma City Thunder, even with Kevin Durant by his side, but 3,000 Rockets fans now have their hands on one.
