01

Origin
and identity

Westbrook transformed overlooked beginnings into one of basketball's most visible expressions of competitive intensity.

Westbrook's speed and rebounding let him ignite transition without an outlet pass. He attacked the rim with a force rarely associated with point guards.

Four seasons averaging a triple-double and a historic 2017 MVP campaign made volume, emotion and endurance his signature.
