Listing the 6 times Russell Westbrook recorded a 'quadruple hobble'
Russell Westbrook is one of the most athletic point guards in the history of the game. He has achieved most major laurels in the game, and is a true legend in the NBA.
The former MVP has a total of 185 triple-doubles, the most by any player in the NBA. He broke the previous record of 181 set by Oscar Robertson during the 2020-21 season, climbing to the top of the list with a triple-double against the Atlanta Hawks.
Russell Westbrook is also the only player in the game to average a triple-double in a season four times in his career. He works hard and hustles on every play, which makes him an extremely tough player to guard. However, considering the intensity with which he plays the game, he tends to turn the ball over a lot of times
