Russell Westbrook

Russell Westbrook entered play on Wednesday needing 16 rebounds to average a triple-double for the season and become the first player to ever average a triple-double in more than one NBA season. He accomplished the feat early in Oklahoma City’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies at home.
