Russell Westbrook is an American professional basketball player. Standing at 6’3″, he plays for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is a nine-time NBA All-Star, and has earned the NBA Most Valuable Player Award.
Russell is the son of Shannon McIntyre and Russell Westbrook. He was raised in Hawthorne, Los Angeles. He is married, and has three children.
Russell’s paternal grandfather was Russell Westbrook (the son of Russell Westbrook and Willie Mae Collier). Russell’s grandfather Russell was born in Waldo, Arkansas.
Russell’s paternal grandmother is named Martha Ann. Martha is from Arkansas.
BTW, pretty sure his mother’s maiden name is Shannon.
I meant to say Horton, though, I can’t seem to find any more information on her. That might be another married name; but I’ve not found a “McIntyre” connected to the Westbrooks.
Russell’s paternal grandfather was Russell Westbrook (I); her was from Arkansas. (Russell 1’s father was also named Russell, though he must have had a different middle name since he’s not refered to as anything other than Russell Westbrook. This Russell’s wife was Willie Mae Collier. Again, all from Arkansas.)
Russell’s paternal grandmother is Martha Ann Carter, Robinson or Dodson; I can’t find which one is her maiden name; I THINK it’s Robinson. She is also from Arkansas.
