Russell Westbrook may not be the focal point of an offense anymore, but he proved in the Nuggets' Game 7 win over the Los Angeles Clippers he can still stuff the stat sheet. Westbrook scored 16 points while adding five rebounds, five assists and five steals in 27 minutes. Next up for Denver is Westbrook’s former team and the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference – the Oklahoma City Thunder. This will be Westbrook’s first postseason return to OKC, with the only other playoff clash between the two coming in the 2020 NBA bubble.

“That’s like home for me,” Westbrook said of the coming matchup.

“I always got love for everybody there...the people, the fans. I know it’s mutual, but they also know the reason why they do love me...because I compete at a high level, and I’m going to do that every night.”

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the players with the most assists in NBA history can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
