15-year veteran point guard Russell Westbrook is a dynamic player on the basketball court. Starting his career with the Oklahoma City Thunder franchise and playing with them for 11 years turned Westbrook into a superstar in the league. With the ability to score, pass, rebound, and defend, Westbrook has a near complete game. However, he does come with his weaknesses and those are currently standing between him and an NBA championship.
Several experts of the game as well as fans criticize the former Thunders’ point guard as being a stat padder. This comes from watching him play his game where many times he doesn’t seem to do the right thing for the given situation. On top of that, he has been a big turnover machine giving away the ball far too often.
At 34 years of age, Westbrook’s chances at bringing home his first ring are depleting quickly. Even though he still seems to have a few years left in him, he will need to quickly turn around his game from what it is currently. As the new 2023-24 NBA season gets underway, the Clippers’ point guard will need to improve drastically in order to help his team progress further into the playoffs when the time comes.

Westbrook once shared that his son Noah, even as a baby, would constantly be on the move and had limitless energy. Just like his father, Noah also sleeps very less.

Apart from his son, Noah, Westbrook and his wife Nina also have two beautiful twin girls. Westbrook’s daughter’s are four years old now and their names are Skye Westbrook and Jordyn Westbrook. The twins were born on November 17, 2018 in Oklahoma City, just like their older brother Noah.
About a year back, Westbrook, while speaking to a panel at the 5th Annual Black Love Summit, mentioned how ‘proud’ he is with the special bond he shares with his children. He enjoys every aspect of being a parent to his beautiful children from waking up together at six in the morning, to taking them to school, to picking them up. His children are the energy that keeps him going.
For Westbrook, his family and his relationship as a father to his kids is the most important thing in the world. He wants his children to look at him as their father and not as a famous basketball player.
