The Los Angeles Clippers star Russell Westbrook recently achieved another career milestone and left his doubters with their jaws hanging. Mr. Triple Double topped the chart of most dunks by a point guard in the history of the NBA.
Russell Westbrook is currently the only point guard to have scored 652 dunks as a point guard. He is 35 years old now, and there’s still a lot of juice left in him; the fans expect him to score even more dunks by the time he retires and establish an excellent record. Russ has been a crucial player for the Clippers this season and has significantly contributed to their success.
Westbrook is one of the most dominant players to have played in the NBA. It is more surprising that he can assert such dominance despite playing at the point-guard position. He already owns an excellent record that earned him his Mr. Triple Double nickname. Russell Westbrook has 199 triple-doubles to his name and is far ahead of the competition. It is most likely that he will retire as the chart leader of that statistic.
Russell Westbrook called himself the best bench player in the league
The Los Angeles Clippers are arguably the newest superteam in the NBA, with big names like Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook in their ranks. They have been doing well in the league, with a record of 51-28, as they prepare for the postseason. However, this has been possible because of Russell Westbrook’s willingness to accept a bench role and dominate in it.

“Ain’t nobody better than me in coming off the bench, in this league,” said Westbrook to an ESPN reporter. He accepts that he is an excellent bench player and claims to be the best in the role. He has been averaging 11.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game for the Clippers this season. Westbrook fits excellently in the role of exciting his teammates coming off the bench and providing them with a much-needed spark with his offensive playstyle.
