NBA legend believes Russell Westbrook is greatest player in OKC history.

Walking the streets of downtown OKC in sizzling weather, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander cemented his spot as the greatest player in Oklahoma City Thunder history — or so most would think so. At least one NBA legend thinks otherwise still. Dwyane Wade recently vouched for Russell Westbrook as the greatest player in Thunder history.

On a clip that went viral on social media, the NBA Hall-of-Famer argues that his former foe is still the best guy — but extremely rich — franchise history. "I still think that Russell Westbrook is the greatest player in Oklahoma City history right now. Doesn't mean he's going to end up that.

To me, I still believe that," Wade said. "You can't tell me that a player can come through Miami right now, win a regular-season MVP and win a Finals MVP and he just becomes the greatest player in Miami history. " Eh, I don't know.

As beloved as Westbrook is, Gilgeous-Alexander's resume has already surpassed his — both as an individual and team accomplishments. The latter will soon have more MVP awards on top of being the first guy to bring a Larry O'Brien trophy to OKC. At this point, we're seeing Gilgeous-Alexander have one of the greatest careers ever.
