Russell Westbrook Achieves 200th Triple-Double

On November 19, 2024, Russell Westbrook made NBA history by becoming the first player to achieve 200 triple-doubles, solidifying his legacy in his 17th season. In a 122-110 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, Westbrook recorded 12 points, 14 assists, and 10 rebounds, showcasing his enduring impact despite being in a backup role with the Denver Nuggets amidst Nikola Jokic's absence. His performance was not just a statistical milestone but also demonstrated his competitive spirit and leadership, as noted by Nuggets coach Michael Malone. The game featured an intense moment where Westbrook received a technical foul for taunting a Grizzlies player, adding to the drama of the night. This achievement not only sets a benchmark for future players but also highlights the evolution of the point guard position in the NBA. Westbrook's versatility and experience are crucial for the Nuggets as they aim to navigate the season successfully without their star center.
