Russell Westbrook is a player of his own kind. He is an athlete who can do everything on the court- score, rebound, give assists to others and still run back on the defense. His playing style is a rare sight. Westbrook is one whom you can build a franchise around. The 2017 Most Valuable Player also holds many records.
The Laker point guard has even averaged a triple-double in four of the last five seasons. A crazy feat, right? But what does the two-time Kobe Bryant All-Star game MVP has left to prove? After such a glorious career until now, you might think he may just rest and be an excellent veteran. Well, No. Him being Russell Westbrook, he always has the pressure of being better than the best. Check how he silenced his critics this time.
