That same season, he recorded 14 double-doubles, scored 30 or more points on eight separate occasions, and registered a career-best 51 points at Carson on January 6, 2006. ĭuring his senior year, Westbrook averaged 25.1 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.1 steals, and 2.3 assists and helped lead them to a 25–4 record. Westbrook grew to his adult height of 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) that same summer. He did not start on his school's varsity team until his junior year, and did not receive his first college recruiting letter until the summer before his senior year. Westbrook entered Leuzinger High School as a point guard who stood only 5 ft 8 in (1.73 m) tall and weighed only 140 pounds (64 kg), although he did have large (size 14) feet. After Barrs' death, Westbrook seemed even more determined to excel in honor of his best friend's memory. In May 2004, Barrs died from an enlarged heart during a pick-up game.
At age 16, Barrs was already known to have excellent basketball skills and received college scholarship offers.
Growing up in Hawthorne, Westbrook and his best friend Khelcey Barrs III had hopes of going to UCLA and playing together. Westbrook was born in Long Beach, California, to Russell Westbrook Jr. After two relatively disappointing seasons with the Lakers, Westbrook was traded to the Utah Jazz in 2023 and was bought out of his contract, joining the Los Angeles Clippers afterwards. After a season in Washington, he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2021. In 2019, he was traded to the Houston Rockets, playing one season for the organization before being traded again to the Washington Wizards in 2020. Westbrook has represented the United States national team twice, winning gold medals in the 2010 FIBA World Championship and the 2012 Olympics. He was selected with the fourth overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft by the Seattle SuperSonics, who then relocated to Oklahoma City that same week. Westbrook played college basketball for the UCLA Bruins and earned third-team all-conference honors in the Pac-10.
In 2020–21, Westbrook averaged a triple-double for the fourth time in five seasons, and he passed Robertson for the most career triple-doubles in NBA history. He went on to average a triple-double the following two seasons as well as lead the league in assists and become the first player to lead the league in points and assists in multiple seasons. He also set a record for the most triple-doubles in a season, with 42. In 2017, the year he won the league MVP award, Westbrook became one of two players in NBA history to average a triple-double for a season, along with Oscar Robertson in 1962. He is also a nine-time All-NBA Team member, led the league in scoring in 2014––17, and won back-to-back NBA All-Star Game MVP awards in 20. A member of the NBA 75th Anniversary Team, he is a nine-time NBA All-Star and earned the NBA Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) for the 2016–17 season.
