Westbrook now trails four NBA legends on the leaderboard:
- John Stockton – 15,806
- Chris Paul – 12,552
- Jason Kidd – 12,091
- LeBron James – 11,909
- Russell Westbrook – 10,336
Westbrook is one of just two players in league history with at least 25,000 points and 10,000 assists. The other? LeBron James.
Westbrook also recently became the first guard in NBA history to surpass 9,000 career rebounds.
In 62 games this season, Westbrook has averaged 15.4 points, 6.6 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game while shooting 42.8% from the floor. His six triple-doubles this year rank fifth among all players, and two of them have come in his last three games.
The all-time triple-double leader is cementing his legacy as one of the greatest point guards the NBA has ever seen.
