One would run out of superlatives when describing the kind of season that Russell Westbrook has had so far.
With only six games left to play, the Oklahoma City Thunder superstar is expected to do what was once unthinkable by replicating the great Oscar Robertson’s triple double average for an entire year.
The UCLA product has been so good that he keeps on pushing himself to new heights. In the Thunder’s recent game against the Charlotte Hornets, Westbrook even made a crazy attempt at a rare five-point play.

Despite his put back being waived off, the play was still very impressive as it only took a fraction of a second between the lane violation and a successful completion of the five-point play.
As a consolation, Russell Westbrook finished the night with, you guessed it, another triple double scoring 40 points to along with 13 rebounds, and 10 assists — his 40th of the season.
