Ranking Russell Westbrook’s top 10 triple double performances of all time (Thread)

With Russell Westbrook recently breaking records with his triple doubles, I decided to rank my top 10 out of his 181(regular season) triple doubles.

The criteria is solely based on the on-court performance in each of these games and the additional context.

This isn’t a top 10 most iconic performances list, just the best performances in his triple doubles.

#1 vs Nuggets, April 9 2017
