The Clippers point guard, a league MVP and two-time scoring champion, took the achievement in stride. Not that he wasn’t pleased, though.
“Obviously, to dime and pass to people and give them even easy looks is something I really embrace and enjoy doing,” Westbrook said. “I never even thought I would even be mentioned with those guys on this list, but, you know, I’m grateful for that.”
“I looked at different people and saw what they’re great at and tried to do everything and that’s the type of player I am,” he said. “I want to be great at everything, whether it’s rebounding, scoring, passing, defending, being a great leader, having a high basketball IQ. I feel like I’m a very well-versed basketball player.
Coach Tyronn Lue called Westbrook’s place in NBA history “phenomenal.” Paul George called him “a Hall of Famer” and one of the best point guards ever.
