Russell Westbrook received the Sports Spectacular Spirit Award on Sunday night in recognition of the work he has done in the community, and the Oklahoma City Thunder guard was just thankful to be winning something.
After he was presented with the award, Westbrook decided to poke some fun at himself.
Russell Westbrook on winning @sportsspec Spirit Award: "At least I won one award this season."

The Thunder fell short of the postseason for the first time since 2009, though a lot of that had to do with Kevin Durant’s injury. Westbrook managed to keep OKC in the hunt by averaging a league-leading 28.1 points per game, but Stephen Curry dominated the MVP voting. Westbrook dropped an S-bomb once when a reporter asked him about winning the scoring title.
We’re glad to see he has a sense of humor about it now.
