Russell Westbrook is the MVP of good deeds.

The Oklahoma City Thunder point guard surprised Kerstin Gonzales with the car he won for the All-Star Game MVP award. Gonzales, a 19-year-old mother of two boys, broke into tears when Westbrook handed her the keys to a brand new 2015 Kia Sorrento. Westbrook also plans to cover the cost for the first year of insurance payments.
