Russell Westbrook is the NBA's most athletic point guard in history. With the ability to finish at the rim whenever he wants with explosive speed and accuracy, he plays every match as though it's game seven of the NBA finals.

A great all-round player, he can score with seeming ease, snatch rebounds in mid-air and often gets team-mates involved offensively. Last season, he became the first player since Oscar Robertson to average a triple-double throughout the entire year.

Averaging 31.6 points per game, 10.4 assists and 10.7 rebounds during that year, it was a wise decision made by Oklahoma City Thunder to extend his deal and max out his contract for $205 million over a five-year period.
