Perhaps seeking superstitious answers to his recent struggles, Russell Westbrook put aside the Air Jordan XXX for Game 4 against the San Antonio Spurs tonight.

Westbrook brought back his "Why Not?" Air Jordan XX8 PE, an OKC-inspired colorway that made its way to retail in 2013. The model was the first Air Jordan led by Westbrook as a Jordan Brand endorser.

Whether or not it makes a difference on the court remains to be seen. The Thunder are currently playing the Spurs on TNT.
