Russell Westbrook and Oscar Robertson are the only two players in NBA history to average a triple-double for an entire season. Westbrook has accomplished that feat two years in a row. The explosive guard recorded 42 triple-doubles during his MVP season in 2016-17 and 25 last season.

The Thunder superstar is a walking triple-double. When he doesn't record one, it's a shock because NBA fans are just to used to seeing him get one. Wednesday's triple-double was Westbrook's third of the season. Now that the seven-time All-Star has fully recovered from his left ankle sprain, expect the triple-doubles to pile up now.

One of the best stats of Russell Westbrook's triple-doubles is that the Thunder have a winning record when he gets one. So, the stat padding critics can hate all they want, but wins are all that Westbrook cares about at the end of the day.
