Sacramento Kings guard Russell Westbrook continues to climb the NBA all-time ranks and showcase why he's one of the greatest ever play the game.
Westbrook, 37, accomplished another scoring feat that very few have in NBA history.
The 18-year NBA veteran reached 27,000 career points during the Kings' 120-94 loss against the New Orleans Pelicans at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana on Monday, Feb. 9.
He reached the plateau after knocking down consecutive free throw attempts with 6:46 left in the third quarter.
Westbrook has averaged 15.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game for the Kings in the 2025-26 season. He's appeared in 51 games. Not bad for someone who was a late signing prior to the beginning of the regular-season.
Westbrook became the second player to record at least 27,000 points, 10,000 assists, 8,000 rebounds, and record 2,000 steals in his career. The other player, LeBron James.
