Russ Westbrook’s MVP season was ridiculous.
🔳No. 1 PTS
🔳No. 1 “clutch” PTS
🔳No. 1 PER
🔳No. 2 AST
🔳Played 81 games
🔳18 40-point games
🔳50+ PTS four times
🔳42 triple-doubles (record)
🔳1st trip-dub average since Oscar
🔳Made the playoffs without KD
Nobody wanted it more.
Russell Westbrook was simply awful in the playoffs and don't get me started again on the trade, but we can't forget how phenomenal he was pre-bubble. In those final 22 games before COVID hit, he averaged 32.2 ppg on over 53% shooting. Completely different player.
