Russell Westbrook is coming off of a superb 2016 season for the OKC Thunder. The Long Beach California native continues to impress coaches and opposing teams around the NBA as one of the most electrifying point guards in the modern era. Having his role changed during the 2015 season due to Kevin Durant‘s injury, Russell Westbrook was placed with the task of leading this team while Durant recovered from the Jones fracture that sidelined him.
Fast forward to this season, Westbrook was dazzling and nothing short of spectacular. Not only did he average a double-double with 23 points and 10 assists, he recorded 18 triple-doubles.
