Na početku sezone, mnogi su govorili kako Russell Westbrook može nadmašiti Oscara Robertsona po broju triple-doubleova u sezoni... i bili su u pravu!

Playmaker Oklahome je ispisao povijest u pobjedi nad Denverom, koju je i sam omogućio, pogodivši tricu uz zvuk sirene. 

Russov nastup fascinirao je mnoge njegove kolege. Uslijedile su brojne pohvale putem Twittera, i to od strane najvećih zvjezdi NBA.

Oglasili su se LeBron James, Kevin Love, Blake Griffin, ali i zahvalni igrači Portlanda, kojima je Westbrook učinio uslugu i poslao ih izravno u play-off.

Thanks Russ … you the real MVP ✊?
