Russell Westbrook needs 506 points to become highest-scoring point guard in NBA history

Russell Westbrook is currently not on an NBA roster. He’s a free agent who has struggled to find teams interested in his services.

Westbrook has played 17 seasons in the NBA and has accomplished a lot. He’s won an MVP, two scoring titles, three assists titles, and averaged a triple-double for an entire season a record four times. This has led to Westbrook becoming the player with the most triple-doubles in NBA history.

Westbrook has also scored 26,205 total points in his career. He is just 506 total points away from surpassing Oscar Robertson for being the highest-scoring point guard in league history.

Will a team pick him up, allowing him to pass Robertson? That remains to be seen. Westbrook may not be the star he was, but he’s still a solid player.

Last season for the Denver Nuggets, Westbrook averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.4 steals per game.
