Russell Westbrook: There's nowhere else I would rather be than Oklahoma City

Russell Westbrook had a press conference after he signed a new three-year contract with the Thunder.

Per ESPN, "There's nowhere else I would rather be than Oklahoma City," Westbrook said at a news conference to announce the deal. "You guys have basically raised me. I've been here since I was 18, 19 years old. You guys did nothing but great things for me. Through the good and the bad, you guys supported me through it all, and I appreciate it. Definitely when I had the opportunity to be able to be loyal to you guys, that's the No. 1 option. Loyalty is something that I stand by."

"With Kevin going it opened up a few things for me," he said. "For me, just being able to see the team we have, the guys we have ... I felt like this is the best place for me and the best team. I love being here, and this is the place I wanted to be."
