Russell Westbrook rises to No. 15 on the all-time scoring charts Friday night.
Another night, another milestone for Russell Westbrook.
The Sacramento Kings’ guard passed Oscar Robertson (26,710) for No. 15 on the all-time scoring charts Friday night, less than a week after he had moved up to No. 16 on the list and also achieved historic marks in assists and steals.
Westbrook moved past Robertson with a layup in the fourth quarter of Sacramento’s 129-102 loss to the Suns, and he finished the night with 26,711 career points. He had previously moved past Dominique Wilkins (26,668 points) for No. 16 on Sunday. Next up on the list for Westbrook: Hakeem Olajuwon, who scored 26,946 points in 1,238 career games.
Earlier in the fourth quarter, Westbrook also passed Robert Parish (9,614) for No. 19 on the all-time field goals made charts with a corner 3-pointer. He now sets his sights on Patrick Ewing at No. 18 on the list with 9,702 FGM in his career.
Westbrook reached two sustained marks of excellence last Saturday, when he passed Magic Johnson for seventh place on the NBA’s all-time assists chart and became the 14th player in league history to log 2,000 steals.
Russell Westbrook passes Magic Johnson (10,141) for 7th on the NBA's all-time assists list.
Westbrook, a nine-time All-Star and the 2017 Kia Most Valuable Player, logged his 10,142nd assist in the first quarter of Sacramento’s 113-107 victory over Dallas on Saturday.
Westbrook, who has led the NBA in assists three times, logged seven more assists over the course of the game and now has 10,149 in 1,268 career games.
Magic Johnson logged his 10,141 assists in 906 career games.

Westbrook, who led the NBA in assists three times (2018, ’19, ’21), can catch two more players on the all-time assist chart this season.
Next up is No. 6 Mark Jackson, who had 10,334 assists in 1,296 games, and only one assist ahead of him is No. 5 Steve Nash (10,335 in 1,217 games). LeBron James is No. 4 (11,673 assists in 1,575 games), and he’s still padding his legacy.
Westbrook also logged steal No. 2,000 last Saturday, and he has a shot to pass two players this season if he can keep up his pace. Westbrook, averaging 1.5 steals through 31 games, is creeping up on Mookie Blaylock (13th; 2,075 steals) and Hall of Famer Karl Malone (12th; 2,085). Alvin Robertson (2,112 steals) and Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon (2,162) follow after that.
