Westbrook Can Single-Handedly Will A Win Out Of The Thunder

Russell Westbrook provides a passion and love for the game that is unrivaled. Watching him is like watching “The Russell Westbrook Show” rather than a basketball game at times. He is a human highlight reel waiting to be played.

With this enthusiasm comes his relentless will to win. He has been known to single-handedly take over a game when the Thunder are a bit lackadaisical. Westbrook can do it all on not only the offensive side of the ball, but on defense as well.

He leads his team in points, rebounds, assists and steals per game and has proven to be the most dynamic player in the league. Whether it’s a 12-point, 10-rebound and 11-assist game or exploding for a 30-15-10 game, Westbrook does what needs to be done in order to get the win.

Make no mistake, Westbrook loves filling up the stat sheet, but he has been on record multiple times saying that at the end of the day, all that matters is winning and getting to the playoffs. He does the little things that don’t show up on the stat sheet.

Whether that’s diving for loose balls, locking down the opposing teams best defender or relentlessly finishing around the cup, Westbrook provides that spark that every team needs.

He is the heartbeat for the Thunder and they need him to thrive in order to succeed.
