The NBA announced the winners of their fan favorite awards on Thursday morning, and LA Clippers guard Russell Westbrook was amongst those featured. The categories included Dunk of the Year, Handle of the Year, Assist of the Year, Block of the Year, Photo of the Year, and Style of the Year. This picture of Westbrook was named photo of the year:

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James won the Style of the Year award, Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant won the Handle of the Year award, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo won the Block of the Year award, Denver Nuggets star Aaron Gordon won the Dunk of the Year award, and Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic won the Assist of the Year award.

Each of these awards were voted on by fans, and the NBA revealed the winners in a Twitter post on Thursday. The Westbrook photo was certainly a deserving winner, as the Clippers even had shirts made from it. Handing the shirts out to employees, and even sending some to fans, the Clippers certainly made great use of this iconic photo.

Westbrook quickly became a fan favorite with the Clippers, winning over even his biggest skeptics. The former league MVP was fantastic both on and off the court for the Clippers, and will now enter free agency this summer.
