Washed we hear you say? He should retire we hear you say? Well it looks like Russell Westbrook has heard all the chatter and it’s motivating him more than ever.
He just recorded a massive 12 PTS, 10 REB, 14 AST, 2 STL & 1 BLK OFF THE BENCH in the Nuggets’ 122-110 win over the Grizzlies and became the first NBA player EVER to record 200 career triple-doubles. Incredible.
Not too many weeks ago, there were reports around from NBA execs and scouts saying that the 36-year-old Westbrook “should just retire”, however he’s stood up time and time again when the Nuggets have needed him most this season.
The NBA world is pumped for Brodie and the best reactions on X are below:

I’ll never forget the NBA stopping the game tho for when Steph broke the 3 point record but ain’t give a shit when Russ broke the TD record. Only one of those records was said to be unbreakable.
