Despite playoff shortcomings with Oklahoma City, Houston, and others, his relentless drive, nine All-NBA selections, and historic statistical dominance cement his legacy among the game’s ringless elite.
FOX Sports on Westbrook:
"The numbers for Russell Westbrook are staggering. All of them."
"From the scoring, rebounding and assists to the turnovers, shooting and usage rates. There’s a rebuttal for every Westbrook stance, with any one point made about him both defensible and deficient and leaving him in a constant state of being both underrated and overrated."
"Westbrook is the only player in NBA history with multiple scoring and assist titles. He never led the league in rebounds, but he placed in the top 10 four times and twice eclipsed 11 boards per game."
