Hold onto your basketball shorts, Bay Area sports fans, because Russell Westbrook is about to make the Sacramento Kings his latest professional playground.

At 36 years old, this NBA journeyman is proving he’s not ready to hang up his sneakers just yet. Westbrook, a nine-time All-Star with a resume that reads like a basketball fantasy draft, is stepping into his 18th season with more swagger than a startup CEO in Silicon Valley.

From Thunder to Triple-Double Royalty

Remember when Westbrook was the dynamic duo partner with Kevin Durant in Oklahoma City? After Durant’s departure to the Golden State Warriors, Westbrook didn’t just survive – he thrived, snagging the league MVP and becoming the king of triple-doubles. With a record 203 triple-doubles under his belt, he’s basically the tech disruptor of basketball statistics.

A Nomadic NBA Career

Since leaving Oklahoma City, Westbrook has been more mobile than a tech worker switching startups. He’s played for Houston, Washington, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, and Denver Nuggets – collecting jerseys faster than most collect LinkedIn connections. Last season with Denver, he averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.1 assists, proving he’s still got game.

The Sacramento Kings Chapter

Now, Westbrook is bringing his high-energy playing style to the Sacramento Kings, continuing a career that refuses to slow down. Whether he’ll be a game-changer or a veteran mentor remains to be seen, but one thing’s certain: Russell Westbrook isn’t done making basketball headlines.
