Russell Westbrook Gifts Jordans At D.C. Holiday Drive

Santa Claus is coming to town a little bit early in D.C. Russell Westbrook is in his new city ready for the start of the NBA season, and he’s bearing gifts! Westbrook partnered up with The Children’s Guild D.C. Public Charter School for the early holiday celebration on Monday. He handed out Jordans, backpacks, masks, and other goods to children in the D.C. area. Nearly 300 kids from grades K through 8 came through for the drive-thru event. The best part about it all is that it was COVID safe. Westbrook personally handed out the gifts with a mask and gloves and posed for some socially distanced selfies with the kids.
