Russell Westbrook III is a prolific American basketball player who plays for the ‘Houston Rockets’ of the ‘NBA.’ Hailing from a sports family, he started exhibiting his skills when he was just a kid. From winning the biggest honors while playing in college, to becoming one of the most prominent ‘NBA’ stars, Russell has come a long way. He began his ‘NBA’ career in 2008 when he was drafted by the ‘Seattle SuperSonics,’ which was later renamed ‘Oklahoma City Thunder.’ Trained strenuously by his father Russell Westbrook Sr., Russell Jr. dedicated most of his childhood to the game. Russell’s talent and skills made him an integral part of the American basketball team, and he represented the United States in the 2010 ‘FIBA World Championship’ and the 2012 ‘Olympics.’ In both these tournaments, he helped his team win a gold medal. In 2017, Westbrook became the second player in basketball history to secure the most number of triple doubles in a particular ‘NBA’ season. Apart from his basketball career, Russell has also launched an eye-gear brand, and continues to display his interest in the fashion world.
