Russell Westbrook is now the NBA leader in triple-doubles after breaking the 47-year-old record

What a career for Russell Westbrook!

The NBA record for career triple-doubles that has stood since 1974 has officially been broken by Russell Westbrook. On Monday, during the Washington Wizards game against the Atlanta Hawks, Westbrook broke the all-time triple-double record with his 182nd in his 13-year NBA career.

Westbrook’s 182 all-time triple-doubles eclipses Oscar Robertson’s record of 181 that has stood for the last 47 years after putting up 28 points, 13 rebounds, and 21 assists in Monday night’s game.

It was only a matter of time for Westbrook to pass the NBA record set by Robertson, and we all knew it. Here’s the rebound that sealed the deal for Westbrook’s place in the history books.

And of course, here was the in-game reaction from fans after the announcement was made.

Twitter also took to congratulating Westbrook on the momentous, historic occasion.

What a career for Westbrook, with no doubt more triple-doubles for the 32-year-old in the years to come.
