Russell Westbrook

The NBA’s reigning MVP plays with a fire and passion that few have matched in the history of the league. From the tip to the final buzzer he flies around the court with reckless abandon and fills up a box score while doing so. Jason Kidd sees these sort of qualities in Westbrook’s game and [...]

Mountain Dew announced over the summer that the brand would honor brand athlete and NBA MVP Russell Westbrook with a truly unique fashion outfit for his wardrobe: the first ever Triple-Double Breasted Suit.

Go ahead and add some gas to the fire that is the simmering rivalry that is the Golden State Warriors vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder were no match for the Warriors last season after Kevin Durant switched sides, but with the addition of Paul George and Carmelo Anthony this summer, the Thunder are [...]

Maybe we’ll get to see more than one season’s worth of this Oklahoma City Thunder squad after all. General manager Sam Presti has been rightfully lauded for piecing together a Big Three of Paul George, Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook, seemingly on the fly. But this troika is viewed by many as a one-year placeholder. [...]

And then they pulled off another heist for Carmelo Anthony. Sounds like enough to get Russell Westbrook sign an extension? Or at least say he plans on signing [...]

By his own admission, Paul George is coming for Russell Westbrook’s MVP award. Granted, he didn’t put this pursuit in those terms. The topic was broached during his appearance on NBA TV, and George took the “I’m going for it” approach: [tweet https://twitter.com/NBATV/status/908876868652322816?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.slamonline.com%2Fnba%2Fpaul-george-gunning-mvp-award%2F] The initial reaction: What the heck else is he going to say?

The Oklahoma City Thunder are having one hell of an offseason. First they landed Paul George from the Indiana Pacers for 30 to 50 cents on the dollar. Since then, they’ve added Patrick Patterson to one of the best deals in the league, re-signed Andre Roberson to a team-friendly three-year, $30 million deal and (marginally) [...]

With a newly minted MVP trophy now adorning Mountain Dew athlete Russell Westbrook’s trophy room, the brand is honoring him with a truly unique fashion outfit for his wardrobe: the first ever Triple-Double Breasted Suit.

Kobe Bryant has his hand in a lot of things since retiring from the NBA after last season. Including, well, the NBA. We already know that Isaiah Thomas and Kobe have been chatting on the regular since the playoffs started. But he revealed to ESPN.com’s Jackie MacMullan that the player he affectionately termed “Mighty IT” [...]

One of the most interesting beefs in the NBA has officially been quashed…according to Kendrick Perkins. While making an appearance on KG’s Area 21 following the Golden State Warriors’ deconstruction of the Utah Jazz, Perkins indicated that Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, whom he played with on the Oklahoma City Thunder, are once again on [...]
