Russell Westbrook continued his torrid season against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, this time tickling history once again after a 42-point, 10-rebound, seven-assist line that put him in the company of one of the greats of the sport — Oscar Robertson.
Westbrook and “The Big O” stand alone as the only players to reach 900 points, 300 rebounds, and 300 assists in 30 games or less — which is basically averaging a 30-10-10 triple-double by the first 30 games of the season — feat Westbrook has achieved with relative ease while propelling the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 17-12 record and a seventh seed in a very competitive Western Conference.

The 6-foot-3 All-Star point guard is a sure-fire starter in the West after collecting 908 points, 305 rebounds, and 312 assists through a 29-game stretch.
His insane usage rate of 41.7 is nearly four points higher than the second-highest DeMarcus Cousins at 37.2 — making every shot, rebound, and assist crucial to his team's success.
