Michael Jordan to Russell Westbrook: ‘I got my first MVP award before my first ring, too’

Michael Jordan sent Russell Westbrook a simple note after he won MVP.

CONGRATS, RUSSELL.

I GOT MY FIRST MVP AWARD BEFORE MY FIRST RING, TOO... KEEP GOING!

Westbrook is a Jordan-signed athlete and it was part of a Jordan Brand package sent to the newly minted MVP after the first ever NBA Awards Show on Monday. Here’s the full package.

And here’s the note itself.

Jordan Brand also had a commercial for Westbrook in the moments following his win after a historic season where he became the second player to ever average a triple-double. It’s an extremely catchy math lesson you can watch here. But there’s nothing like receiving a note from Michael Jordan himself.
