Nipsey Hussle had publicly pledged his allegiance to the Rollin 60s Crips, a large and historic South Central street organization. However, he made it clear that the sum of his incredible stat line was intensely deliberate and personal.“Twenty plus 20 plus 20, they know what that means,” the eight-time NBA all-star told TNT. Nipsey Hussle Proved His Dedication Far Beyond His MusicĪfter the game, Westbrook had a bit more to say to the public. Hours before the Thunder defeated the Lakers in Oklahoma, the man whom police allege murdered Nipsey Hussle was taken into custody. Two other men were also injured by gunfire, which allegedly stemmed from a verbal dispute with the shooter moments earlier. It was out of front of this store on Sunday afternoon that Hussle was shot three times, including a fatal wound to the head. Many of those popular blue shirts were purchased at The Marathon, a Crenshaw District store that Hussle owned, in a plaza he and a partner had acquired less than two years ago. The merchandise was part of Nipsey’s 2013 mixtape campaign. However, he made his feelings clear, by wearing a Crenshaw shirt ahead of the game. He had posted a photo of them on Monday (April 1). Ahead of Tuesday’s game, the former UCLA star declined to speak to reporters about Nipsey’s death. The stars of hoops and Hip-Hop had a public friendship. Westbrook grew up just miles from Nipsey Hussle (born Ermias Davidson Asghedom) in the same Los Angeles.
“That’s for Nipsey!” Russell exclaimed after the buzzer during a nationally-televised game. He finished with 21 assists in the triple-double to be exact. Westbrook is only the second player since late Hall Of Famer Wilt Chamberlain to achieve the 20-20-20. The 30-year-old Point Guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder finished his team’s defeat of the Los Angeles Lakers with a stat line that included 20 points, 20 assists, and 20 rebounds. Last night (April 2), Russell Westbrook mourned the death of his friend Nipsey Hussle the best way that he knows how, with a historic performance on the basketball court.
