Despite his reputation as a ball-hog, Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook has averaged at least 10 assists per game in four consecutive seasons and has led the league in assists twice.
This season, The Brodie is sharing the back court with another elite passer in James Harden, but he’s still averaging 8.7 assists per game, a team high.
After dishing out six assists in the Houston Rockets’ win against Golden State on Wednesday, Westbrook moved past Bob Cousy for sole possession of the 19th spot on the all-time assists list.
Along with Cousy, Westbrook also moved past Guy Rodgers in career assists earlier this season.
