On Monday night against the Hawks, Russell Westbrook moved into first place on the NBA’s all-time triple-double list with the 182nd triple-double of his career, finishing with 28 points, 13 rebounds and 21 assists. For 47 years, Oscar Robertson sat atop the list, owning a record that most thought would never be broken. Congratulations from around the NBA community poured in immediately, celebrating the accomplishment and Westbrook’s career to this point.
The accolades began as soon as Westbrook secured his 10th rebound of the night early in the fourth quarter. The Wizards released a series of videos with messages from Robertson, Westbrook’s family, NBA legends, members of the Monumental Sports & Entertainment family and more.
