Russell Westbrook III[1] (conceived November 12, 1988) is an American expert ball player for the Los Angeles Trimmers of the Public B-ball Affiliation (NBA). He has won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) nine times and is a member of the NBA 75th Anniversary Team. Additionally, he has been selected to the NBA All-Star Team nine times, led the league in scoring in 2014–15 and 2016–17, and has won the NBA All-Star Game MVP award twice—in 2015 and 2016. Westbrook is generally viewed as one of the most athletic players ever.
Westbrook became one of only two players in NBA history, along with Oscar Robertson in 1962, to average a triple-double per season in 2017, the year he won the league MVP award. In addition, he set a record for the most consecutive seasons with 42 triple-doubles.[2] He went on to average a triple-double the following two seasons, lead the league in assists, and become the first player to lead the league in both points and assists for multiple seasons.[3] In 2020–21, Westbrook averaged a triple-double for the fourth time in five seasons.[4] He passed Robertson for the record for the most consecutive seasons with triple-doubles in NBA history.[ The Seattle SuperSonics selected him with the fourth overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft. That same week, they moved to Oklahoma City. Westbrook has won gold medals for the United States national team twice, at the FIBA World Championship in 2010 and the Olympics in 2012. He was traded to the Houston Rockets in 2019, where he spent one season before being traded to the Washington Wizards again in 2020. In 2021, he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers after spending a season in Washington. After two seasons with the Lakers, Westbrook was exchanged to the Utah Jazz in 2023 and was purchased out of his agreement, joining the Los Angeles Trimmers a short time later.
