The LA Clippers’ star player, Russell Westbrook set to make unprecedented NBA history feat in the NBA next season. He added four more triple-doubles to his already record-breaking total last season, bringing him to 198 career triple-doubles. Westbrook now stands just two away from becoming the first NBA player ever to reach 200 career triple-doubles.
Russell Westbrook Set to Make Unprecedented NBA History
While many of Westbrook’s NBA records revolve around triple-doubles, there’s another historic milestone he could achieve in the upcoming season. With 24,457 career points and 7,964 career rebounds entering the 2023-24 season, Westbrook is likely to surpass both the 25,000-point and 8,000-rebound marks. If he accomplishes this, Westbrook will join LeBron James as the only player in NBA history with at least 25,000 points, 9,000 assists, and 8,000 rebounds.
While LeBron James is the sole player in NBA history to reach 30,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, and 10,000 assists, Westbrook’s statistical achievements put him in an elite category. This highlights the remarkable career of the 2017 league MVP.
Although Westbrook’s primary focus is on helping the Clippers secure victories, these potential milestones add an exciting dimension to his 16th NBA season. Already considered one of the greatest in the game, Westbrook has the opportunity to further solidify his place in NBA history next season.
