Washington Wizards star Russell Westbrook made history Monday against the Indiana Pacers.
The nine-time All-Star dished out 24 assists and grabbed 21 rebounds in 39 minutes on the floor, becoming the first player ever in the NBA with multiple 20-assist, 20-rebound games.
Per Stathead, Wilt Chamberlain first pulled off the feat on Feb. 2, 1968, against the Detroit Pistons. Westbrook then did it as a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder on April 2, 2019, against the Los Angeles Lakers before Monday’s monster outing.
His assist tally also tied the Wizards’ franchise record.
