One of many riveting reads in the Basketball Biography Books series by Clayton Geoffreys. An Amazon Best Seller newly revised for the first half of the 2022-2023 season, Russell The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Premier Point Guards explores the inspirational story of basketball's superstar point guard, Russell Westbrook. Russell Westbrook's ascent into the top point guards in the NBA amongst the likes of Chris Paul and Stephen Curry has definitely been a surprise. Westbrook has become a universally recognized superstar in the league, having led the Oklahoma City Thunder for many years. He also played for the Houston Rockets, Washington Wizards, and Los Angeles Lakers. At the time of this writing, he is playing with the Los Angeles Clippers. Russell Westbrook's journey from underdog to basketball superstar is nothing short of remarkable. He has been selected as a nine-time NBA All-Star, a two-time NBA All-Star Game MVP, and the winner of the 2017 NBA Most Valuable Player award among other awards. Westbrook's accomplishments extend far beyond the NBA. He has also represented the United States on the international stage, winning gold medals at both the 2010 FIBA World Championship and the 2012 Olympics. Westbrook is the first player in over 50 years to average a triple-double for an entire season, a feat he accomplished not once but four times in his career. He surpassed the legendary Oscar Robertson for the most career triple-doubles in NBA history, cementing his place as one of the greatest players to ever play the game.

It's perfect for reading at home or on the go. Russell Westbrook cannot play for a contending team. He is selfish and makes bad decisions on the court. He takes the ball away from great offensive players like Kevin Durant and James Harden. He is just another athletic “me-first” point guard, and the Thunders would be better off without him. In a few years, he will probably follow the legacies of Stephon Marbury and Steve Francis, point guards from the early 2000s, who are as well-known for their careers’ spectacular crashes as they are for their actual play, or even their inclination to win ball games. NBA analysts have said this of Westbrook ever since he soared to superstar status, and such claims are not totally without merit. Westbrook will sometimes try to do too much. In Game 2 of the 2012 NBA Finals against the Miami Heat, Westbrook took 27 shots in comparison to 22 shots from Durant. However, despite taking more shots, Westbrook finished with only 26 points as opposed to 32 for Durant. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
