Russell Westbrook made NBA history Tuesday night when he became the first player ever to drop 200 triple-doubles.
Westbrook achieved the feat after he recorded 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 14 assists in the Nuggets’ 122-110 win over the Grizzlies.
The 6-foot-3 guard adds to his increasing lead of most triple-doubles all-time with NBA legend Oscar Robertson in 2nd place with 181. Westbrook’s teammate and reigning MVP Nikola Jokic is 4th all-time with 136, only 2 behind Magic Johnson for 3rd place.
The 36-year-old guard has had a fruitful career over the course of 17 NBA seasons, establishing himself as a dominant point guard that can do it all. Westbrook had his most successful run with the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he won the MVP. He’s also had stints with the Houston Rockets, Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Lakers, and now with the Nuggets.
