Ob prestopu Kevina Duranta v Golden State, so mnogi napovedovali, da bo samotni jezdec Oklahome Russell Westbrook v povprečju dosegal trojnega dvojčka v sezoni, kar je uspelo le velikemu Oscarju Robertsonu več kot 50 let nazaj in imeli so prav! Kako je košarkarski svet reagiral na nov rekord?

Organizator igre Oklahome je včeraj ponoči spisal novo košarkarsko pravljico, potem ko je dosegel 50 točk, 16 skokov in 10 asistenc v zmagi proti Denverju, ki ga je Russell Westbrook za nameček potopil tudi z metom za zmago.

Zmaga Oklahome ni bila nič kaj zgodovinska, je bila pa predstava Westbrooka zato toliko bolj. Westbrook je podrl rekord velikega Oscarja Robertsona po številu trojnih dvojčkov v eni sezoni in tudi sam Roberstson je dejal, da mora Westbrook letos postati MVP lige NBA. 

Oklahoma je slavila s 106:105, Russell Westbrook pa je zaradi pisanja zgodovine dvignil ogormno prahu tudi med svojimi košarkarskimi kolegi, ki so se oglasili na družabnih omrežjih. Med drugimi so mu čestitali LeBron James, Kevin Love, Blake Griffin in ostali košarkarji, tudi Portlanda, ki jih je Westbrook, potem ko je zadel za zmago in porazil Denver, poslal v končnico lige NBA.

Thanks Russ … you the real MVP ✊?
