With Russell Westbrook having undergone yet another procedure on his right knee prior to the start of the season, it brings to light existing doubt of how his explosive playing style will transition into his 30’s. A fateful collision with Patrick Beverly in the first round of the 2013 playoffs ruptured the meniscus in Westbrook’s right knee, which kick-started a lengthy string of medical procedures spanning through to present day.
Westbrook is arguably one of the most, if not the most, relentlessly explosive athletes to ever grace an NBA hardwood. Despite his relatively short stature to the league average (6’7″), Westbrook can spectacularly achieve anything he sets his mind to in-game.
