There might be some criticisms of his game, but there is one thing Russell Westbrook has done better than anyone in NBA history.
The Denver Nuggets guard became the first player to record 200 career triple-doubles on Tuesday, posting 12 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists in a 122-110 NBA Cup play win over the Memphis Grizzlies. He got there just in time, pulling in his 10th rebound with 1:17 left in the game.
Westbrook was already the NBA's all-time leader in triple-doubles, having surpassed Oscar Robertson in 2021. His frequency has fallen off since then, correlating with his transition from ball-dominant point guard to bench player.
