Consecutive Season Triple-Double Average In addition to setting the career single-season record for triple-doubles (with 42, set in 2017), Westbrook came back in the 2017–2018 NBA season and accomplished something no other player had done before. He averaged a triple-double for two consecutive seasons. Westbrook’s ability to score, grab rebounds, and provide assists to his teammates has made him one of the best all-around team players in the league and exciting to watch.

Westbrook is featured in a game versus the Memphis Grizzlies on April 11, 2018, where he grabbed 20 rebounds. Although he finished the game with a

double-double (six points and 19 assists), the 20 boards were enough for Westbrook to reach an average of a triple-double a game for the 2017–2018 NBA season and to become the first player in league history to do so in consecutive years.
