One of the most explosive and recognizable guards in NBA history has decided to call it a career after an incredible 18 seasons in the world&#8217;s premier basketball league. Throughout his career, Westbrook became synonymous with energy, relentless competitiveness, and the triple-double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The American was named the NBA&#8217;s Most Valuable Player in 2017 after becoming the first player since Oscar Robertson to average a triple-double over an entire season. That same year, he also set what was then a record with 42 triple-doubles in a single season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Westbrook was selected to the NBA All-Star Game nine times, earned nine All-NBA Team honors, and in 2021 was included on the prestigious NBA 75th Anniversary Team, recognizing the 75 greatest players in league history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, he will forever be remembered for his unmatched triple-double record. Westbrook is the NBA&#8217;s all-time leader in career triple-doubles, and he managed to average double figures in three statistical categories across four different seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sometimes you don\u2019t even know when you\u2019ve already watched the end.<br><br>You had to be there.

He spent his final NBA season with the Sacramento Kings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Westbrook retires having played 1,301 regular-season games, averaging 20.9 points, 8.0 assists, and 6.9 rebounds per game. He also ranks among the NBA&#8217;s all-time leaders in both assists and total points scored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A special place in his career belongs to his time with Team USA. Westbrook won the Olympic gold medal with the United States at the 2012 London Olympics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/last-flight-after-a-40-year-career-captain-vesic-landed-from-chicago-into-retirement-accompanied-by-water-cannons-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">LAST FLIGHT AFTER A 40-YEAR CAREER: Captain Vesi\u0107 landed from Chicago into retirement accompanied by water cannons!
