Most Triple-Doubles in a Season The hallmark of Westbrook’s game is his ability to record a triple-double. This is evidenced by the 42 triple-doubles he had in the 2016–2017 NBA season. Westbrook’s 42nd triple-double passed the record held for 55 years by Hall-of-Famer and former Cincinnati Royals and Milwaukee Bucks great, Oscar Robertson (who recorded 41, set in the 1961–1962 NBA season).

Westbrook scores 50 points in a game against the Denver Nuggets on April 9, 2017, along with 14 rebounds, and 10 assists. This achievement gave him his

42nd triple-double for the season and the NBA career record. He passed the record set by Hall-of-Famer Oscar Robertson, which stood since the 1961–1962 season.
