Russell Westbrook, who retired in August after 18 seasons as the NBA's all-time triple-double leader, wants to be a torchbearer at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The 2012 gold medallist and 2017 MVP was honoured by the LA City Council for his community work. Kevin Durant said he thought Westbrook still had "five or six more years left".
