Russell Westbrook Biography
Russell Westbrook is recognized as one of the top point guards in NBA history, known for his record-setting performances and longevity in professional basketball. Selected with the No. 4 pick in the NBA Draft out of UCLA by the Seattle SuperSonics before the franchise relocated to Oklahoma City, Westbrook quickly became a central figure for the Thunder, serving as the team's all-time leading scorer over 11 seasons. As a point guard, Westbrook became known for his athleticism and competitive intensity.
During his MVP season, Westbrook averaged 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 10.4 assists, becoming the first player since Oscar Robertson to average a triple-double across an entire season. He set the NBA record for most triple-doubles in a single season with 42 and earned the league's MVP Award. His career achievements include two scoring titles, three assists titles, nine All-NBA selections, and holding the all-time triple-double record. Westbrook is one of only three players in NBA history to average a triple-double in a season, a feat he accomplished four times. He was named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team and won an Olympic gold medal at the London Games.
After his tenure with the Thunder, Westbrook played for the Houston Rockets, Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Denver Nuggets, and Sacramento Kings. He retired after 18 seasons, having been selected to the league's 75th Anniversary Team. The two-time scoring champion announced his retirement on social media in a video narrated by actor Michael B. Jordan.
Off the court, Westbrook has developed a business portfolio that includes Honor The Gift, a Los Angeles-based men's and womenswear brand, and Russell Westbrook Enterprises, which encompasses ventures in fashion, digital media, AI, biopharma manufacturing, real estate development, and community infrastructure. RW Digital, a programmatic digital marketing company, is also part of his business interests. In 2026, he co-founded Project B, a startup aimed at establishing a global basketball league, where he also serves as chief strategy officer.
Westbrook's philanthropic work includes the Russell Westbrook Why Not? Foundation, which aims to educate and empower children, and "Russell's Reading Rooms," an initiative that brings books and reading spaces to underserved schools and communities. Westbrook's influence extends beyond basketball, with his "Why Not?" philosophy shaping both his business and community efforts.
