18. Russell Westbrook
Five years ago, it would have been crazy to imagine if any NBA player would ever average a triple-double at the end of an NBA season, like Oscar Robertson once did. But after seeing Russell Westbrook accomplish this feat for three years in a row, between 2016 and 2019, we just shrug our shoulders at it.
At the apex of his powers in Oklahoma City, Westbrook averaged 26.3 points, 10.1 assists (despite his reputation for never passing the ball), and 9.4 rebounds per game, while playing in four Conference Finals, and being considered one of the most singularly tenacious competitors in the league. Westbrook ranks top 30 all time in points per game — that part’s not a surprise — but he’s also third best ever in assist percentage, behind only legendary passers John Stockton and Chris Paul.
