Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook put his trademark intensity to the side to take a moment with a young fan at courtside.
In a clip posted by Bleacher Report, Westbrook was seemingly frustrated and about to lash out after committing a turnover. But moments later, he crouched down to a young fan and shared a word or two with him. We cannot hear what the former MVP said but it left the fan with a big smile.

Westbrook has all the reasons to be in a giving mood this season. After all, his team has improved remarkably with the resurgence of Paul George. Analysts have observed that Russell Westbrook has taken a step back in carrying the whole team since George and the rest of his teammates have stepped up.
But the question remains: what did he say to the fan? Did he promise to give him some game-worn merchandise? Or maybe courtside seats in their next home game?
