Russell Westbrook [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/russell-westbrook/] scored an impressive block on Trevor Ariza in Houston’s game against Portland Trail Blazers. The Block came in the first quarter with 7:38 left. Ariza had attempted to go for a layup, and re-ignite some momentum for the Trail Blazers. Westbrook made a quick dash from the 3-point line to block Ariza, denying the forward a simple lay-up. With just over 260 career blocks in 860 regular-season games, it’s the only statistic Russell Westbrook fails to put in big numbers. It was an impressive jump from the 6’3 Westbrook to deny the 6’8 Trevor Ariza. Westbrook once again showed his 2020 form in the Rockets 112-125 defeat at the hands of Portland. Westbrook finished with 39 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists on 55% shooting. Unfortunately for Westbrook, the rest of the Rockets were not able to find their shooting rhythm. James Harden and Eric Gordon combined for 26 points on a combined 28 field goal attempts. Portland Trail Blazers, on the other hand, had strong games from Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, Hassan Whiteside and Trevor Ariza. RUSSELL WESTBROOK ON AN IMPRESSIVE 2020 RUN Russell Westbrook initially struggled during his time with Houston, adjusting to the team’s main player James Harden [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/james-harden/]. It’s was unfamiliar territory for him, as Westbrook had been the main player during his stay with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Westbrook has been impressive [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/james-harden/] on the field since the turn of 2020. In 9 games played, he’s averaging 31.9 points, 8.3 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game. More impressive is his efficiency, as he’s shooting 52% from the field. His 3-point field goal accuracy is, however, a dismal 25%. Westbrook is slowly becoming relevant in the NBA’s MVP ranking [https://www.nba.com/article/2020/01/28/kia-mvp-mailbag-jan-28]. Russell Westbrook has had an impressive run of form since the turn of 2020 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/russell-westbrook-rockets.jpg] By taking control of rebounds and the paint, he’s freeing up James Harden at the 3-point line. Ideally, the hope is it will soon create a deadly nightmare of dominant guards on different parts of the court. A matchup not many teams would want to face. After their defeat against Portland, The Rockets possess a 29-18 record. They sit 5th in the Western Conference, barely ahead of their division rivals in the Dallas Mavericks. Their next game will be on 31st January against Luka Doncic [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/luka-doncic/]‘s Dallas Mavericks, in what could be a pivotal game for the NBA Southwest Division.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Houston Rockets 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
The Houston Rockets owned by Tilman Fertitta are part of the NBA's Southwest Division in the Western Conference. Their base is at the city's Toyota Center where they moved ahead of the 2003 season. 
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-249185 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200411160101/rockets-logo.jpg" alt="" width="1365" height="1024" />
The team was established as an expansion team in 1967. They were originally based in San Diego and competed in the NBA as the San Diego Rockets. They won just 15 games in their debut season. However, in a remarkable turnaround, they made the Playoffs in the next year. 
In 1971, they moved to Houston. Here, the team did not finish with a winning record until the 1976-77 season. The Houston Rockets reached the Eastern Conference Finals that year. 
In 1981, the Houston Rockets became only the second team to reach the <a href="https://www.nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA</a> Finals with a losing record. As of this season, only the Houston Rockets and the Minneapolis Lakers (1954-1955) have made it to the Playoffs with a losing record. 
In 1995, the Houston Rockets were seeded six in the Playoffs and became the lowest seed to lift the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy. Four players have claimed the NBA MVP award while wearing the Houston Rockets Colors. They are Moses Malone (1979, 1982), Hakeem Olajuwon (1984), and James Harden (2018). 
The team is currently under the leadership of Rafael Stone, who serves as the general manager. Head coach Stephen Silas is new to his role, and getting used to the environment.

<h2>Russell Westbrook: Net worth, salary, and endorsements</h2>
Russell Westbrook was born on November 12, 1988, in Long Beach, California. NBA's Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 2017 was named after his father. Russell has a younger brother named Raynard and married Nina Earl in 2015. Currently, 'Russ' plays for the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/los-angeles-lakers/">Los Angeles Lakers</a>.

He started his <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/">NBA</a> career in 2008 when the Seattle SuperSonics (which later became Oklahoma City Thunder) drafted him as the fourth overall pick. He rose as a superstar while playing for the Thunder. Westbrook won the MVP award in 2017 when he averaged a triple-double for the season. He also set a record for the most triple-doubles in a season, with 42.

However, he was traded to Houston Rockets prior to the 2019/20 season. While his start with the Rockets was decent, injuries and questionable fit meant that Brodie ended up with a disappointing season.

[caption id="attachment_900442" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-900442" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-01-18T044844Z_782777261_MT1USATODAY17523169_RTRMADP_3_NBA-UTAH-JAZZ-AT-LOS-ANGELES-LAKERS.jpg" alt="Russell Westbrook" width="1920" height="1322" /> Jan 17, 2022; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (0) was given a technical foul for his reaction after a dunk over Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (27) in the first half of the game at Crypto.com Arena.

Westbrook was traded again to the Washington Wizards. While the 2017 MVP did help the Wizards to the playoffs, both the parties agreed to part ways. Before the start of the 2021-22 season, Brodie was traded to his hometown team, Los Angeles Lakers.

While huge things were expected of the star trio of Westbrook, LeBron James, and Anthony Davis, it turned out to be a remarkably disastrous season for the Lakers as they failed to qualify for the Playoffs.

Westbrook has also represented the US national team twice, winning gold medals in the 2010 FIBA World Championship and the 2012 Olympics. Moreover, Westbrook plays at the point guard position and wears jersey No.0.
<h2>Russell Westbrook and Los Angeles Lakers</h2>
After a decent season with the Wizards, rumors of Westbrook's potential departure started swirling. As the dust settled it was clear that Westbrook was on his way out, but his destination was not set.

Just as the market opened up, it was the Lakers who reportedly had a trade for sharpshooter Buddy Hield. But these rumors were immediately squashed as the Purple and Gold swept in for Westbrook. Trading away Kyle Kuzma, Montrezl Harrell and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and multiple picks, the Lakers added a third superstar in Westbrook.

Brodie joined a stacked roster led by the duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. However, injuries to both Davis and James didn't allow the team to build chemistry. Westbrook bore the brunt of the criticism as the Lakers failed to clinch a Playoff spot.

Although he showed sparks of brilliance, Westbrook was inconsistent under Frank Vogel. His public spat with the head coach didn't do the franchise any favors.

According to reports, the Lakers have tried to trade Westbrook away throughout the offseason. However, Russ seems set to enter the 2022-23 season donning the purple and gold.

His earnings from endorsements contribute to around <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/russell-westbrook/?sh=4c66cf202f40" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$35 million</a> of his total earnings.
<h2>Russell Westbrook foundation and charity</h2>
Westbrook founded the 'Russell Westbrook Why Not?' Foundation in 2012, with an aim to inspire the lives of children. The foundation, according to its website, "is dedicated to supporting community-based education and family service programs while encouraging youth to believe in themselves."

Westbrook has also contributed to various charitable causes through his foundation. A couple of months ago, he stated that helping the ones in need was way more important to him than winning a ring.
