Russell Westbrook’s Most Violent Dunks of His Career
By: Chief24

Russell Westbrook III[1] (born November 12, 1988) is an American professional basketball player for the Oklahoma City Thunder of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is a six-time NBA All-Star, and a two-time NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player (MVP), winning consecutive awards in 2015 and 2016. He is also a six-time All-NBA Team member and led the league in scoring in 2014–15 and 2016–17. In 2017, Westbrook became one of two players in NBA history to average a triple-double for a season, along with Oscar Robertson in 1962. He also set a record for the most triple-doubles in a season, with 42.[2] He was subsequently named the 2016–17 NBA Most Valuable Player.

Westbrook played college basketball for the UCLA Bruins and earned third-team all-conference honors in the Pac-10. He was selected with the fourth overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft by the Seattle SuperSonics, who then relocated to Oklahoma City six days later. Westbrook has represented the United States national team twice, winning gold medals in the 2010 FIBA World Championship and the 2012 Olympics.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the major men's professional basketball league in North America, and is widely considered to be the premier men's professional basketball league in the world. It has 30 teams (29 in the United States and 1 in Canada), and is an active member of USA Basketball (USAB),[2] which is recognized by FIBA (also known as the International Basketball Federation) as the national governing body for basketball in the United States. The NBA is one of the four major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada. NBA players are the world's best paid athletes by average annual salary per player.[3][4]

The league was founded in New York City on June 6, 1946, as the Basketball Association of America (BAA).[1][5] The league adopted the name National Basketball Association on August 3, 1949, after merging with its rival National Basketball League (NBL). The league's several international as well as individual team offices are directed out of its head offices located in the Olympic Tower at 645 Fifth Avenue in New York City. NBA Entertainment and NBA TV studios are directed out of offices located in Secaucus, New Jersey.

The NBA originated in 1946 with 11 teams, and through a sequence of team expansions, reductions, and relocations currently consists of 30 teams. The United States is home to 29 teams and one is located in Canada.

The current league organization divides thirty teams into two conferences of three divisions with five teams each. The current divisional alignment was introduced in the 2004–05 season. Reflecting the population distribution of the United States and Canada as a whole, most teams are in the eastern half of the country: thirteen teams are in the Eastern Time Zone, nine in the Central, three in the Mountain, and five in the Pacific.

The Boston Celtics have won the most championships with 17 NBA Finals wins. The second most successful franchise is the Los Angeles Lakers, who have 16 overall championships (11 in Los Angeles, 5 in Minneapolis). Following the Lakers, are the Chicago Bulls with six championships, all won over an 8-year span during the 1990s. The San Antonio Spurs have five championships, all since 1999, and the Golden State Warriors also have five championships overall (2 in Philadelphia, 3 in Oakland).

Russell Westbrook with a shaved head had a personal grudge with the rim

[sammysam]

The only player in the NBA who could literally not score a single point in a game and the media would still find a way to call him selfish and stat padding

[icyrollie]

That dunk versus Memphis on the right wing on the fast break is the nastiest most brutal conscience-less dunk I've seen and my fav..

[treyjones]

A lot more exciting than watching 3 pointers.

[TheLuminousOne]

He's literally, unbelievable. The speed, mobility, agility, athleticism and power with which he dunks...is incredible - very satisfying for an observer.

[gshivs]

Russ and Shawn Kemp. Angriest dunkers of all time. Gotta throw early Blake in there too

[stretchho]

The way he screams "oOh-" when he dunks just gives me goosebumps. I mean he just hurts the rim *gahdayum*

[Azraeluchiha]

It's like he has personal animosity with the rim. Like he holds each rim responsible for killing his pets. Or like each rim is just an alien that transforms into a rim to escape that fact that they're responsible for all of his misfortune. SMH...

[peliballer]

lol i love that walk he does after some of his dunks. idk wtf it is but it just seems so right.

[ripitup]

Some of these commentary reactions are elite.

[SiLintDeath]

in shock this guy hasnt broken a bone in his wrist. Amazing aggressive dunks. Lots of passion in those plays.

[jackjordan]

1:49 is the best dunk on here, the sound, power and crowd reaction

[nletoppa]

who’s better

Like:Russell Westbrook

Comment:a slithery little snake Kevin durant

[joshg]

My goodness you gotta love his athleticism

[theajroseshow]

Westbrook is absolutely the only PG with a dunk compilation of this length and ferocity (D-Rose might've given him a run if he hadn't gotten hurt). There's only a handful of players in NBA history who dunk that hard; Dominique, Darry Dawkins, Vince, Lebron, Giannis, Shawn Kemp, young Blake, and maybe young Charles Barkley. And there's even fewer who can do it off either 1 or 2 feet.

[THPHNX-mkgs]

Rim: I took your food

Russ:

Rip rim. Cause of death... Russell Westbrook dunked

[keithfalconer]

When he crosses over left & then goes up right .... don’t jump

[BWalker]

Him and Rose might be the most explosive point guards of all time.
He flies man

[derksanderson]

This guy plays with compassion and gives it 100% every game I love Thunder every player is my favorite on the Thunder

[trailblazer]

3:22 is my favorite, to guard Russ takes more than the team and ref's.
