While his fiery play and icy relationship with the media may not show it, Russell Westbrook is a man of the people.
The superstar guard proved it as Oklahoma City recovered from the effects of a devastating tornado in 2013, and has proven it again with his latest act of generosity.
Westbrook donated the Kia vehicle he won as the All-Star Game MVP to a single mother who can make much better use of it.

Russell wanted to honor "all the hard work she's done to keep her family together. I just want to be able to help others any way I can."
