Russell Westbrook's Triple-Double Watch: Can He Tie Or Break Oscar Roberton's Record 41

[HacheMan]

Westbrook 35 triple doubles with 11 games left to catch Robertson's record of 41.

If he reaches 40 or 41 with 1 game left, you can bet your azz the opposing team will lie down & allow him to tie or break it.

Visions of the 1994 Clippers allowing David Robinson to score 71pts in his final game of the seasin to steal the scoring title from Shaq...

I agree, a few more that come to mind are Kobe's last game against the Jazz was a lay down, especially 2nd half. Brett Favre & Strahan for the sack record. I get having respect for another player, but it takes away from their accomplishment when opposing teams give it up without a fight.

 

[Mr_Mark]

on a side note, triple double seem to be so common now. Less defense, more catch and shoot, especially with the 3 ball. Less of a big man presence down low. More shots = more rebounds. Amazing Westbrook is able to go full speed still, full games and all season (we will see how he does in the playoffs) I really thought he would have slowed down by now or have gotten inj. Hopefully he doesn't shorten his career, because once his athleticism is gone, he will be done.
