In the non fiction article that I am reading it is about the famous ball player Russell Westbrook.The article talks about how good he is doing so far without his all star teammate “Kevin Durant”.Russell Westbrook plays  point guard in the NBA ,he plays for the state Oklahoma.His team name is Oklahoma City Thunder, and he is leading the league in triple doubles (Double points,rebounds,assist) .Russell Westbrook is averaging 30 points per Game,11 assist per game,and 10 rebounds per game.

 With only “Nineteen games into his season, Westbrook, 28, is averaging 30.9 points, 11.3 assists and 10.4 rebounds. He has 45 career triple-doubles, which ties him with LeBron James for sixth on the career list, behind other luminaries like Oscar Robertson (181), Magic Johnson (138) and Jason Kidd (107), according to Basketball Reference.” I found that part interesting because,He is a point guard averaging that many points,rebounds,assist per game by himself is amazing and that really caught my attention because he might pass Lebron James,Jason Kidd,Or even Magic Johnson.

One thing that I have learned is Russell Westbrook career total triple doubles is tied up with Lebron James 4x MVP,with 3 Finals MVP ,3 championships rings.They are tied with the number 45 in their whole career! One thing that I will never forget is “Russell Westbrook needed one more assist for another triple-double in his ruthless campaign across the N.B.A., so he drove the lane and tried to thread a pass to Joffrey Lauvergne, his teammate with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Instead, the ball bobbled loose for a turnover, and time soon ran out — on the first half” I will not forget that because He almost scored a triple double and the first half and that's amazing.
