Russell Westbrook

After 18 years and an impressive list of personal achievements, Russell Westbrook has retired. The all-time triple-double king says goodbye to the NBA with a career that could have been much greater, but was often managed more by instinct than by logic, as he never found the balance between his internal fire and the rationality that could have taken him further.

The Golden State star criticized the change in attitude towards Westbrook: "For years you said he destroys teams, and now you miss him."

Following long-standing rumors of a potential move to Hapoel Tel Aviv, NBA legend Russell Westbrook has announced his retirement at age 37. Israeli star Deni Avdija, who played alongside him for the Washington Wizards, shared an emotional tribute.

After 18 seasons and a historic record in the best league in the world, Russell Westbrook announced his surprise retirement in a mysterious video, putting an end to rumors about a sensational move to Ofer Yanai's team.

After initial denials, reports in the United States indicate that negotiations between Ofer Yanai and Russell Westbrook are in full swing. Is the 37-year-old NBA star on his way to making history in Israel?

In the US, several candidates that might sign the veteran star were reviewed, but according to ESPN, the most likely option remains Sacramento. The point guard is taking his time.

A league scout claimed that Miami should not gamble on the veteran point guard, and the options in the best league in the world are dwindling: "You can't trust him, he doesn't fit into the system and doesn't defend."

According to several reports, one of the greatest NBA players of the last two decades and the 2016/17 MVP is on the radar of the "Reds". Panathinaikos and Dubai are also monitoring the situation.
