OKC Thunder superstar Russell Westbrook and Houston Rockets James Harden have had extremely impactful seasons in their own ways, but they will be most memorable because of their current respective streaks. While no one can really match the statistical dominance of Wilt Chamberlain‘s career, both Westbrook and Harden are knocking the NBA great’s door. Westbrook just surpassed Chamberlain’s streak for consecutive games with a triple-double (10 games) last Thursday, while Harden has tied mighty Wilt with 31 consecutive games with 30 points or more.
Due to the shockingly different style of play of the 1960s NBA compared to today’s league, these streaks are an eye-popping anomaly.
