There can be a desensitization to what Russell Westbrook has accomplished in his last three seasons.
There shouldn’t be.
“I think the fact he’s done this three years in a row … people don’t understand what has happened,” Thunder coach Billy Donovan said. “People are going to look back in time, and I think what he has done will be more appreciated later on than it is right now.”
Before Westbrook, there had never been two consecutive seasons of a triple-double average, let alone three. Westbrook continued to rewrite the record books in the Thunder’s 123-110 win against the Pistons on Friday.
