Nobody has more career triple-doubles than Russell Westbrook after the Washington Wizards star tallied his 182nd during Monday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks, but he was appreciative of the ones who came before him after the performance.
He thanked Oscar Robertson as the one who "paved the way" as the previous record-holder.
"Normally I don't like to pat myself on the back but tonight I will," he said. "I am just so grateful for those that came before me ... super grateful for my teammates, coaches along my journey.
