Michael Jordan to present Westbrook into Oklahoma HOF

The NBA's GOAT will be present to help induct Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Russell Westbrook into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame.

Michael Jordan, the man behind the Jordan shoe and apparel company that Westbrook is associated with, will present the 27-year-old at a ceremony on Nov. 17 in Oklahoma City.

"We are truly excited to have Michael Jordan presenting Russell Westbrook, and we are equally fortunate to have a full slate of accomplished presenters joining us at this year's ceremony," Oklahoma HOF president and CEO Shannon Rich said, according to the Oklahoman's Darnell Mayberry. "They provide us with a meaningful opportunity to celebrate this year's inductees and forward our mission of telling Oklahoma's story through its people."

Westbrook presented former Thunder teammate Kevin Durant into the HOF last year, with the four-time league MVP saying at the time that he hoped he'd be around in 2016 to do the same for him for his induction.

Now that he's a member of the Golden State Warriors, it remains to be seen whether Durant will be in attendance at all.

Other names getting inducted on Nov. 17 include Rita Aragon (Oklahoma Secretary of Veterans Affairs), Becky Dixon (television broadcaster), and Michael Burrage (former United States District Judge of Oklahoma).
