Russell Westbrook’s play on the court this season has been must-see TV, but you can’t overlook his pregame outfits.

As the Oklahoma City Thunder prepared to take on the Clippers on Wednesday, Westbrook entered Staples Center wearing a T-shirt that pays respect to hip-hop great Eminem.

Yep, that is a name tag on his shirt that reads "Hi! My name is Slim Shady." We can only guess what Russ was listening to as he walked into the arena.
