Russell Westbrook Becomes First NBA Player to Record 200 Career Triple-Doubles
The NBA witnessed a monumental achievement as Russell Westbrook became the first player in league history to record 200 career triple-doubles, solidifying his status as one of the all-time greats in basketball.
The historic milestone came during a road game against the Memphis Grizzlies, where Westbrook played a pivotal role off the bench in Denver Nuggets' 122-110 victory. The veteran guard delivered a stellar performance with 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 14 assists, marking his latest triple-double in a career filled with historic numbers.
Significantly, Denver secured the win despite missing Nikola Jokić, who was absent for the third consecutive game due to personal reasons.
Westbrook, known affectionately as "Russ," has long been the undisputed leader in the triple-double category. His closest competitor, the legendary Oscar Robertson, retired with 181 triple-doubles, a record that seemed untouchable until Westbrook's relentless drive rewrote history.
