Russell Westbrook's Story Will Change Your Opinion of Him Forever..

some basketball players have all the hype, the fame, the glory, the height, yes that's right I actually said height, let's face it in basketball, the taller you are the better

your

odds are, at least to some extent , there are some players who are so tall that it is actually a health hazard and unfortunately they are lucky to be able to walk in a straight line. I think the NBA has spoiled us all. We see these athletes before us who are not only tall, not only athletic but also incredibly coordinated. The taller you get, the harder it is to maintain decent coordination.

You don't have to be a genius to know that. If you look at a sport like football, a sport like soccer, they call a guy like dk metcalf, a six-foot-four guy, they call him that. tall and even though he actually is, he's very tall in the NBA, if you try to play shooting guard you might be called undersized, that's a little tough and for some it might be a reality check. Shout out to my boy Zlatan, though he held it. down for tall football players i still have to copy his galaxy jersey it's a joke

russell

westbrook

tall, at least to the average human being, he's like six three six four, but he wasn't always that way and just like height, He didn't always have the hype or fame he has now, in fact, Westbrook has had to work for everything he earned as a junior in high school.

Westbrook was five foot nine, that didn't stop hoop dreams and it shouldn't because you can. do it no matter

your

height, no matter your hype,

westbrook

's career is now filled with all nba achievements, all nba awards, he was named nba's most valuable player for the 2017 season, he recorded a triple double, something I wasn't sure I would ever see. my life before westbrook did it i had only done it once the great player scored 30.8 points per game 12.5 rebounds 11.4 assists since westbrook is average this triple double loss has the triple double become more common It's not what it was before Someone averaged a triple double in 2018 and then again in 2019, oh wait, both guys were Russell Westbrook, the game is always evolving and some players force its evolution, nine-time NBA All-Star who has twice led the NBA in points and assists. but unfortunately i also feel like westbrook also leads the league in criticism my team the rockets were stuck with

russell

west brick and your team criticized the disgusting and simple behavior that comes with westbrook's style of play give me a break you could call the rise of russell Westbrook is unlikely to even tell you that.

Westbrook admitted that he never thought he would play in the NBA. A lot of people who are in the NBA now have been good since they were eight years old. I wasn't any good until I was 17. During his freshman and sophomore years in high school Westbrook was about 5-8 and weighed 140 pounds. The Long Beach, California native also didn't start on the varsity basketball team. During this time, Westbrook dreamed of playing basketball at the University of California with his best friend, Kelsey Bars. iii the skull never materialized the bars would disappear from an enlarged heart during a pick-up game in may 2004 the pass seriously injured russell westbrook says it's a moment he'll never forget but also a moment he used to fuel his fire he said bars was one one of the best and is likely to be alongside russ in the nba russell westbrook junior five foot nine inches now a starter built his reputation by being an intense competitor with a high motor during the season 0-405 westbrook averaged 12 points 4.7 rebounds , 1.8 assists and 2.3 steals in 24 games, this was good enough to catch the attention of the UCLA assistant coach, although his colleagues did not understand the initial interest in Westbrook, I mean, look at this moment, Russell Westbrook could hardly dunk, but of course there is a lot more to basketball than just dunking, shout out to James Harden, we haven't forgotten those shots you gave to Giannis like that one doesn't require any skill, they said Westbrook was of size insufficient, not a traditional point guard, the UCLA assistant coach defended himself by saying that I never said he was a point guard, I just said he could play, I knew Westbrook was intense and he loved everything.

Ucla head coach Ben Howland was also not initially convinced that Russell Westbrook was Bruins material. He knew his speed and defensive intensity. Russell Westbrook. seemed like a suitable backup for ucla point guard at the time darren collison the summer of 2005 would be big for russ things would get even better he would receive his first recruiting letter and experience massive growth he was no longer russell westbrook five foot eight five foot nine now He was six foot three with a six foot eight wingspan. Westbrook, who is now a senior, would play in 28 games after scoring 25 points per game, 8.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and over 3 steals per game.

On January 6, 2006, he would score 51 points versus Carson. during the season westbrook had 14 double doubles and scored 30 or more points eight times despite his impressive statistics the best college programs still did not know if russell westbrook was a real rival in 24 7 sports classified russell westbrook as a three star prospect all nba russell westbrook a modern mr triple double russell westbrook if you were under the basket he would go through you or over you russell westbrook a player who wore his heart on his sleeve on every play someone who would bring it every night russell westbrook wow ucla would offer westbrook a scholarship once jordan farmer declared for the 2006 nba draft you heard me right there's a chance if farmart doesn't turn pro westbrook doesn't get that scholarship imagine the kid from cali doesn't get this glow.

The farmer was great, he has some decent years with the Lakers. I'm talking about four points. Nine points per game. Six points per game. Seven points. It really sounds like I'm slandering him. This is crazy. I'm not. I am not slandering. him, you have to be good to get to the nva, you score a cube, you hit me, farmar was great, but he was in no rush at ucla, russ would go meet the love of his life, they say things happen for a reason, Sometimes I just have to find it, they are parents to twin daughters Skye and Jordan, born in November 2018 during Westbrook's first season at UCLA.

He played a backup role to Darren Collison. He wore number zero for the 0607 season. Westbrook averaged 3.4 points and less than one rebound and assists. per game he built his reputation on hustle and defense, ucla would reach the final four, where they would eventually lose to the champion florida gators during the summer before his sophomore season, westbrook would create a stir around his performance in pickup games on campus ucla professional. players like kobe kg mello played in these games former bruins baron davis and earl watson boasted to the coach about westbrook's intensity during his second season at ucla westbrook started 34 of 39 games, averaged 12.7 points, almost four rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.6 steals per game westbrook would join the starting lineup alongside freshman kevin love and point guard darren collison ucla reached the ncaa final four for the third consecutive year they faced the memphis tigers and derrick rose rose vs. westbrook you can't make this up westbrook led ucla with 22 points, he was also two of three from three and had two steals. rose has 25 points of his own, he recorded nine rebounds and four assists, although memphis would win the game, the ncaa would vacate the season for the 0708 season, the bruins finished.

With a 35-4 record, Westbrook was now the Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year and was named among the 10 13. After his sophomore season, Westbrook entered his name in the 2008 NBA Draft, the 2008 NBA Draft. would be a heavy draft class with some bigs. I mean hitters like stands wide open, feet close together crowding the plate, is it crazy that Westbrook is drafted to the Jetsons? I really feel for that team. I really feel for Seattle, K.D. Westbrook and then the new team eventually gets tough. and all that promise is gone, take it like it never happened, it was the betrayal of the century, not by kd, not by russ, not by anyone but the ownership group, but am I going to be the one to sit here and say that Alright?

I don't deserve a team after what I've seen this crowd do. No, that won't be Seattle with the fourth pick in the NBA draft. I thought about Brook Lopez, but finally decided to jump the gun when Russell Westbrook was drafted. When I tell you that things happen. fans and critics were everywhere, that's not even the half of it. One writer wrote that Jared Bayless would be a better fit without the ball and the perfect point guard for a system built for Kevin Durant instead of Russell Westbrook. A similar sentiment was echoed by The Draft Express that they said Russell Westbrook is a player who may or may not be worthy of starting at any defense position in the NBA and taking him forward was definitely a surprise seeing some of the other players. that were on the board here.

Is Russell Westbrook enough of a playmaker to be a starting point guard in the NBA and if not, is he big enough and a good enough ball handler, outside shooter, all-around scorer to be a two-way point guard? Lucky for the jetsons at that time, presti didn't listen to public

opinion

, not only did presti draft russell westbrook in the 2008 nba draft, but he also added serge ibaka to the team with the 24th overall pick, kevin durant russell westbrook, the possibilities were endless if they stayed together, who knows what happens and that doesn't. forget james harden russ would never play a game in seattle as they would become the oklahoma city thunder okc they would hold him down like westbrook while some players left and others left the team one thing would remain the same stars come and go but not russell westbrook westbrook would be traded to houston in good faith teaming up with james hardens the beard and rusts one of the most exciting duos in the entire nba from three stars to mvp a
