For years I have been able to watch Russell Westbrook from afar. I remember when he was drafted by the Oklahoma City Thunder franchise, who were at that time still the Seattle SuperSonics. There was great interest in Russell Westbrook because of his crazy athleticism, but some pundits wondered if he could be effective as a point guard in the NBA, after coming out of UCLA being cast as a combo guard.
Throughout Westbrook’s career, there were some amazing moments that stood out, including an NBA Finals appearance, with now-Wizards coach Scott Brooks at the helm, back in 2012.
