Last offseason, the Denver Nuggets signed 2017 NBA MVP Russell Westbrook, and the veteran point guard exceeded expectations in his lone year with the franchise.

Westbrook, 36, made a huge on-court impact last season, averaging 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.4 steals per game, becoming one of the team's top defenders and cementing himself as one of the top hustle players in the league. Still, some of his greatest impact came off the court.

Westbrook became a fan favorite in Denver for his high intensity and his reciprocated passion toward the fanbase and organization, and it was showcased with an incredible moment with a Nuggets fan last season.

The NBA's official account shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) to remember the heartfelt moment Westbrook had with a fan who traveled from South Korea to see him play in Denver.

Via NBA: "'The happiest man in the building, Kim from South Korea.'
