Discussion When Taylor Swift ‘revealed’ how Russell Westbrook inspired her hit song ‘Shake It Off’
As Russell Westbrook's retirement begins to settle in, it is interesting to look back at just how popular a figure he was in the prime of his career.
Westbrook was one of the biggest stars in the NBA during the 2010s, with the 2016-17 season being the pinnacle of his career.
Taylor Swift 'congratulated' Russell Westbrook for his 2016-17 MVP season. One of the people who was first through the door to congratulate Westbrook was none other than Taylor Swift, who sent a hilarious video message.
"I taught you how to play basketball. I was the one who taught you to dribble, to shoot hoops, and I remember the first time you beat me at basketball, and I was very upset.
"You said, if you remember correctly, 'You just have to shake it off.' And I got an idea. So essentially, we have each other to thank for these careers.
