Russell Westbrook made 3 assists within the Clippers’ win over the Knicks which put him forward of Isiah Thomas on the NBA all-time help leaderboard.
With 9,062 profession assists Westbrook is ninth on the record. Clippers head coach Ty Lue was requested in regards to the milestone that Russ has achieved.
“What he’s done in his career is phenomenal,” Lue stated. “Like I said, being MVP in this league. And people talk about the shooting or whatever, but to be ninth all-time in assist leader, but the biggest thing for me is I think he was a three-time scoring champ as well. Am I right about that? Two? Leading the league in scoring twice.
“He brings a lot to the game – rebounding the basketball, assists, his pace, being able to score the basketball as well. But the biggest thing I think for him is just getting Kawhi and PG those guys easy shots and attacking the basket and give us an offensive pace which he’s done for us.”
