Westbrook was then dealt again to the Wizards the following year and helped lead the team to the playoffs alongside Bradley Beal, averaging 22.2 points, 11.7 assists and 11.5 rebounds in 65 games.
Westbrook is a nine-time All-Star, a three-time assists champ, a two-time scoring champ and has made nine All-NBA teams.
