Russell Westbrook Becomes 4th NBA Player to Reach 100 Career Triple-Doubles
Russell Westbrook finished with 32 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists for his 100th career triple-double in the Oklahoma City Thunder's 119-107 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night.
Oscar Robertson (181), Magic Johnson (138) and Jason Kidd (107) are the only other players in NBA history with at least 100 triple-doubles.
"The group of guys that's ahead are Hall of Famers," Westbrook said, according to ESPN.com's Royce Young. "I'm just happy to be a part of the crew with those guys."
Westbrook has now registered triple-doubles in three straight games and leads all players with 21 this season.
LeBron James ranks second with 14 following his triple-double Tuesday versus the Phoenix Suns. James also ranks second among all active players with 69 triple-doubles—31 shy of the reigning MVP's illustrious mark.
Winners of four straight, the Thunder are currently the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference at 41-29 overall. That leaves them 1.5 games back of the Portland Trail Blazers for the No. 3 seed but just two games clear of the No. 8-seeded Utah Jazz.
