Basket: Russell Westbrook annonce sa retraite après 18 saisons en NBA
American basketball player Russell Westbrook, former NBA MVP and triple-double king, announced Wednesday that he is retiring at 37, after 18 NBA seasons, in a video on his social media.
The point guard released an enigmatic 3-minute-30-second farewell video, narrated by actor Michael B. Jordan, in which Westbrook is filmed watching some highlights from his career.
"Sometimes you don't even realize you've already seen the end. You had to be there. And now it's over," the caption reads.
Russell Westbrook, a gold medalist at the 2012 Olympics and nine-time All-Star, finished as the season's top scorer twice, in 2014-2015 and then in 2016-2017 with Oklahoma City, where he played eleven seasons.
With the Thunder, alongside Kevin Durant and James Harden, he won the Western Conference title in 2012, before being defeated in the NBA Finals by the Miami Heat.
In 2017, he was elected MVP after a season in which he set a new all-time record for the number of triple-doubles in a single season (42), previously held since the 1961-1962 season by Oscar Robertson.
He also holds the NBA record for the most triple-doubles in a career (209).
After leaving Oklahoma City in 2019, Russell Westbrook played for Houston, Washington, both Los Angeles franchises (Lakers and Clippers) and Denver before signing for a season in Sacramento, his last club, last year.
