You wish you were Russell Westbrook at Russell Westbrook Night

Russell Westbrook had a pretty swell Thursday while attending the UCLA Bruins' victory against the Arizona Wildcats.

Russell Westbrook had a pretty swell Thursday.

With his Oklahoma City Thunder off, he and his team got the treat of watching his alma mater, the UCLA Bruins, upset No. 7 Arizona in Pauley Pavilion thanks to Bryce Alford’s three-point shot with less than two seconds remaining.

Westbrook’s reaction sitting courtside was pretty perfect.

What’s better than watching a great game? Thursday was Russell Westbrook Night. And how did he celebrate such an occasion?

Westbrook posed for pictures. He met Bruin legends like record executive Mo Ostin and tye-dye shirt-wearing Bill Walton, then led the crowd at halftime with a UCLA chant.

Everyone wore glasses like Westbrook’s signature black, thick-rimmed glasses. Baron Davis wore glasses. Kevin Durant wore glasses. The fans even got glasses.

Then the UCLA players appeared at their postgame presser in glasses.

The only question remaining: After showing up to his game last night wearing a poncho cape and a hipster hat, Westbrook was sporting a plain white t-shirt for his honor.

Whatever. He can do what he wants.
