Russell Westbrook scored 17 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds in today’s game against the Nets, which made his total number of assists in his career reach 8972,
surpassing Gary Payton, the “glove”, and ranking 10th in history.
Westbrook’s next goal will be “dribble textbook” Thomas, with only 89 assists between the two sides.
At present, in the list of historical assists, active players seize three of them, with Chris Paul ranking third and LeBron James ranking sixth.
It is worth noting that James is only seven or eight times away from Mark Jackson, the fifth in history, and Steve Nash, the sixth in history.
He is expected to surpass Nick in the game tomorrow.
