Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook tweeted this picture of a brand new pair of Air Jordan III “True Blue” basketball shoes he had customized into roller skates. Westbrook joins the likes of Celtics point gurard Rajon Rondo and boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr who have also shown a love of roller skating. Westbrook and the Thunder are currently having a stellar year in the NBA with Oklahoma sitting at the top of the western conferance. Looks like Westbrook is benefiting from the added sense of balance and coordination roller skating provides. Russell is averaging nearly 19 ppg and 5 assists per game this season. Looks like he may take the title for top ballers who skate this year.
