Clippers Edge Nuggets, Westbrook Asserts Triple-Double Dominance of Nikola Jokic

In a clash of NBA titans, the Los Angeles Clippers triumphed over the Denver Nuggets, with Russell Westbrook making a bold statement about his triple-double prowess in the wake of Nikola Jokic’s stellar performance.

Jokic’s triple-double, comprising 36 points, 17 rebounds, and 10 assists, showcased his remarkable skills but failed to secure the win for the Nuggets. Despite being past his prime, Westbrook, now coming off the bench, delivered a notable contribution of 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Speaking on his historic achievement of 198 triple-doubles, Westbrook asserted his unmatched status in the realm of triple-doubles. “Well, listen, ain’t nobody like me. Ain’t nobody like me. We’re gonna stop there,” Westbrook declared, highlighting his distinctive prowess. While acknowledging Jokic’s prowess as a player, Westbrook emphasized their differences, underscoring his own unique impact on the game.

Westbrook’s legacy as the all-time triple-double leader, with Jokic trailing at 129, underscores his unparalleled success in this domain. His historic feat of averaging a triple-double in a season, akin to NBA legend Oscar Robertson, earned him the coveted MVP title during the 2016-17 season.
