In recent years, Mr Russell Westbrook he has heard a lot. In fact… too many, as his career has started to take a downward turn and he looks nothing like the explosive guard of years past who dragged any opponent in his path.
Nevertheless, the 36-year-old ace has not lost the “flame” and the mentality that distinguishes him, continuing even now to write history on his magical floors NBA!
In the early hours of Wednesday (20/11) and in the away victory of Denver Nuggets over the Grizzlies (110-122), Westbrook made history by becoming the first athlete to reach the 200 triple-double milestone in the history of the world’s top league!

In particular, the experienced ace finished the match with 12 points, 14 assists and 10 reboundsachieving his first triple-double this season and their first with the “lumps”!
Thus, he broke yet another record, becoming the only player in history to achieve such a feat with six different groups, as he had done it in the past, wearing the jerseys of the Rockets, Thunder, Lakers, Clippers and Wizards!
For history, second on the list of most triple-doubles is the legendary, Oscar Roberson (181)whereas, the one who can essentially threaten him is his teammate in the Nuggets, Nikola Jokicwhich is at No.4 on the list of 136!
