If you're a Houston Rockets fan, the last 24 hours have been fairly stressful as it was recently revealed that Russell Westbrook wants off of the team. After being traded to Houston last offseason, it seems like the superstar player no longer wants to play alongside James Harden, which is something that has come as a bit of a shock to many. Either way, Westbrook is on his way out and it seems like the Charlotte Hornets are in the running to scoop him up.
Despite wanting out of Houston, the Rockets' social media team was given the impossible task of not being petty. Today is Russell Westbrook's 32nd birthday and to celebrate, the Rockets took to Twitter where they wished him a happy birthday.
