Westbrook Making History

  Many players dream of breaking NBA records to solidify their mark in NBA history. On Tuesday night Russel Westbrook has gotten one step closer to cementing his name into history. Westbrook joins Oscar Robertson for most triple doubles in a season after earning his 7th straight triple double. The big O had 41 triple doubles in 1961-1962 season with the Kansas City Royals. Westbrook already has 41 triple doubles this season and has five more games left to play. Westbrook also only needs 16 more assists to average a triple double for the entire season. 

  What Westbrook is about to accomplish is unbelievable and words can't describe how he is playing. Never have I expected to ever see a player accomplish such a feat. It really takes a special and a determined player to accomplish. I honestly can't believe how Westbrook may not even be the MVP of this season. Not to take away the great play of James Harden but to average a triple double for an entire season is truly remarkable. I really do hope that Westbrook wins the MVP. It will be a great redemption story after former Teammate Kevin Durant left for Golden State. Oklahoma City Thunder are 31-10 when Westbrook has a triple double which is a 75% win percentage. Westbrook in my eyes is clearly the MVP this season.
