Russell Westbrook makes history with another triple-double season

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook became the first player in NBA history to average a triple-double in multiple seasons when he pulled down his 16th rebound against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night.

Westbrook, 29, attained a triple-double last season as he averaged 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists. Heading into the regular-season finale Wednesday, he was averaging 25.6 points, 9.9 rebounds and 10.1 assists.

He claimed the league's MVP award after accomplishing the feat last season, but Houston's James Harden is widely regarded as the favorite this year.
