Just heard it this morning. Incredible! Chamberlain was the first. Forget about Giannis. Forget about Harden. Westbrook is the MVP about to finish another triple-double season carrying the Thunders into the playoff.

That is amazing! He’ll have time to truly savor this as he watches other teams succeed in the playoffs. What a great meaningless accomplishment!

Except that he is not the MVP and probably won't finish top five in the voting. 'Carrying' the Thunder? George has been the better player most of the year and they are in the 8th spot. They are falling, not being carried anywhere. At this rate, they will be out in the first round.

Are you joking or what? Westbrick is 35th in player efficiency in the league compared to Harden (no.1) and Giannis (no.2). Westbrick's Value Added rating is 373.4 compared to Harden's league leading 804.7. Harden beats him in win share and shooting efficiency by a country mile. Harden makes his team better whereas Westbrook makes his center concede his rebounds to him.
And DSD is right. Whatever good Thunder have achieved was when PG13 was in form and making clutch plays. Now PG13 is out of form and they are losing right and left.

Was this supposed to be sarcastic?

How does a guard his size get 20 rebounds though.

I hope it's OKC the Warriors meet in the first round. Love to see Westbrook. Warriors will kill them but it'll be entertaining.

I'm not saying it's an easy feat, I'm just listing the reasons it's possible. Westbrook is a hell of a player.

He’s like an improved Melo. A great individual athlete that makes no one around him in a team game better.

He was in the game well after it was decided. Needed 3 boards in the last couple of minutes. Got his own rebound of a miss, Adams purposefully missed a free throw, and then the other 4 Thunder players formed a wall for him to get #20 in the last minute.
