Brian Hall (5)

Part of the Basketball’s Greatest Stars series from ABDO books that introduces young readers to some of the biggest stars in the NBA.

In this entry, Brian Hall provides a brief look at the life and career of Russell Westbrook, providing information about his early childhood and the events that led to his current success with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The text focuses primarily on the athletic accomplishments, but little on the personal life, of Westbrook, with the only mentions of his life show more off the court being the 2015 NBA Cares Community Assist award he received for his charity work and his love of clothes and fashion. The book provides a decent balance between text and photos – using orange circled “Fast Facts” to highlight interesting details about his life. Recommended: Suitable additions to the sports biography shelves and for fans of the NBA and its current crop of stars. show less
