No. 1 – Russell Westbrook – Oklahoma City Thunder – PG

Key Stats: 31.9 PPG, 10.4 RPG, 10.7 RPG, 30.90 PER, 52.0 Clutch Time PER

Mr. Triple-Double, will you now step into the spotlight, thank you. What Russell Westbrook is doing this season is, for lack of a better word, stupid.

He is averaging a triple-double on the back of a pathetic roster, and he isn’t missing any games. Unlike many thought he would, he has the Thunder in the playoffs and competing to an extent. He is doing everything for the Thunder, and when I say everything he is leading them in every major statistical category – and if he isn’t leading, he is second.

Oh, and hey, he is now the triple-double KING.
