Russell Westbrook broke Oscar Robertson’s record for most triple doubles in a season
Westbrook recorded triple double No. 42 on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets.
An NBA record that stood untouched for more than 50 years has been broken.
Russell Westbrook picked up his 42nd triple double in the third quarter of the Oklahoma City Thunder’s matchup against Denver Nuggets on Sunday. He moved ahead of Oscar Robertson’s mark of 41 to secure the most triple doubles in a single season in NBA history.
Westbrook notched his 10th assist in the fourth quarter, when he found Semaj Christon for a corner triple to cut Denver’s lead to 10 with under 4:20 remaining. He entered halftime with 23 points and 12 rebounds.
Westbrook was two assists shy of breaking the record on Friday against the Suns, but Phoenix opted to intentionally foul Westbrook late in the fourth quarter, prompting the Thunder guard to check himself out of the game.
It's official!

The record was once considered unattainable.
It was the 1961-62 season when Oscar Robertson recorded 41 triple doubles with the Cincinnati Royals. He became the first player to average a triple double for a year—30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 11.4 assists per game—etching himself into NBA history with one of the most productive seasons the league has ever seen.
No one came close to his mark for 55 years.
Wilt Chamberlain picked up 31 triple doubles in the 1967-68 season. Robertson had 20 or more triple doubles four times before hitting his mark of 41. James Harden has 20 with the Rockets this season. Not even LeBron James or Magic Johnson have reached that mark in a season.
His accomplishment adds onto an already historic season.
Westbrook picked up assist No. 820 in the Thunder’s loss to the Phoenix Suns on Friday, securing his average of 10 assists per game on the season. In doing so, he joined Robertson as the only player in NBA history to average a triple double for an entire season. The Thunder guard also joined The Big O and Nate “Tiny” Archibald as the only players to average 30 points and 10 assists for a season.
Westbrook also scored 57 points on March 30, setting the record for most points scored while recording a triple double in a game. He tied Michael Jordan’s mark of seven consecutive triple doubles in a season, and his eight 40-point triple doubles are the most in NBA history.
Taj Gibson questioned if Westbrook was human. It may be time we do the same.
Here are some of the best moments from Westbrook’s historic season

CONFIRMED: The Toronto Raptors and the Indians Pacers orchestrate a sign-and-trade that would ship unrestricted free agent C.J. Miles across the border and send guard Cory Joseph to Indy. The contract is worth $25 million over three-years, including a player option on the final year. After the completion of his 12th year in the league, Miles nearly joined the 50-40-90 club following regular season averages of 43% from the field, 41% from behind the arc, and 90% from the charity stripe. He'll improve a Raptors roster that landed in the middle of the pack in regards to team three-point shooting last season. Joseph will presumably fill the vacant hole left by, now Minnesota Timberwolves guard, Jeff Teague. Ron Baker and the New York Knicks agree to a two-year, $8.9 million contract and in result have used a majority of the cap room they had remaining. Baker is a relentless hustler, scrapper, and versatile player that found his nitche in the Knicks lineup this past regular season. The defensive standout Dewayne Dedmon, who last played for the San Antonio Spurs, has found a new home in Georgia in the wake of agreeing to a two-year/$14 million contract with the Atlanta Hawks. His defensive presense made a big difference for the Spurs from the regular season up until their Western Conference Finals elimination. 🏀#sportsjournalists #sportspodcast #sports #trirocpodcast #triroc #tde #nba #nbanews #nbatoday #nbatopics #nbaoffseason #nbapodcast #dewaynededmon #coryjoseph #cjmiles #indianapacers #torontoraptors #basketball #basketballnews #basketballtoday #basketballtopics #basketballpodcast #football #footballnews #footballpodcast #nfl #nflnews #nfltoday #nflpodcast #nyknicks
