Last night, to honor his fallen brother, Russell Westbrook put up the second ever “double triple-double” in NBA history. The only other person to have a 20-point, 20-assist, 20-rebound game is Wilt Chamberlain back in 1968.
After the game, Russy made it very clear that he was working with intention tonight as a show of respect to Nipsey and gang he claimed proudly, The Rollin’ 60s Crips. Hence, the 20-20-20.
"That was for Nipsey." 💙🙏
