Never in my life did I expect to see two things, the first is seeing someone get close to scoring 100 points in an NBA game, Kobe Bryant scored 81 points against the Toronto Raptors, in January of 2006. The second was seeing someone average a triple-double for a whole season, well Russell Westbrook, made that a reality last night.
Russell Westbrook has become the first player to join Oscar Robertson in averaging a triple double. That record was set in the 1961-62 season; it took 55 years for that record to be broken.
Last night, Russell Westbrook had 23 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists. Westbrook was two assists shy of breaking Oscar Robertson record of most triple doubles in a season which is 41.
Westbrook has three more games to break the most triple doubles in a season record. The next three games for the Thunder are between the Denver Nuggets twice, and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
I'm positive he will get the record before the season ends.
