NBA legend Oscar Robertson believes that Los Angeles Lakers newcomer Russell Westbrook should have won the MVP award for the 2020-21 season.
Westbrook and Robertson have a lot in common, as they are two of the most prolific triple-double producers in NBA history. During the 2020-21 season, Westbrook passed Robertson for the all-time lead in triple-doubles.
Robertson finished his iconic career with averages of 25.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game.
Despite having a stellar year, Westbrook didn’t receive a ton of consideration for the MVP award this past season. He finished with averages of 22.2 points, 11.5 rebounds and 11.7 points per game.
The 2020-21 season was Westbrook’s fourth year in which he averaged a triple-double.
He’s going to spend the 2021-22 campaign with Los Angeles. There, he will hope to win the first title of his career. An NBA championship would go a very long way for his legacy.
