In a previous game between the Nuggets and the Nets, Nuggets player Russell Westbrook scored a triple-double with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. He achieved another triple-double alongside Jokic. After this game, Westbrook's career triple-doubles reached 202, continuing to hold the NBA record alone. This achievement can be described as unprecedented and unparalleled. Westbrook faced a lot of doubts during his time with the Lakers and Clippers. His poor performance once put him in a position where he might not be able to play in the offseason. However, this season, he has already achieved three triple-doubles in 36 games with the Nuggets, breaking many doubts.
Famous American commentator Perkins criticized the Lakers and Clippers on the show, saying that it is obvious that Westbrook had several unpleasant years in Los Angeles. Looking at it now, these two teams have hindered Westbrook's growth. He has always been the most deserving player to win the championship. It can be seen from Perkins' remarks that he still highly recognizes Westbrook's abilities. It is worth noting that, according to statistics, Westbrook only managed one triple-double in 68 games for the Clippers last season. And in the 2021 to 2022 season, he only achieved 10 triple-doubles in 78 appearances for the Lakers.
