At 36, Russell Westbrook keeps defying limits. On Wednesday night, the Sacramento Kings' point guard put on a performance reminiscent of his prime — 23 points, 16 rebounds, and 10 assists — leading his team to a 121–116 win over the Golden State Warriors.

With this triple-double, the 204th in his career, Westbrook set another milestone: he is now the top rebounding guard in NBA history, with 8,734 rebounds, surpassing Jason Kidd’s 8,725.

“Humbly, I am the best rebounder in history among guards,” he said. “So when the ball bounces off the rim, I go get it.”

He also became the first point guard to record a triple-double in his 18th NBA season — an exceptional feat for a player in his position. Despite his age, Westbrook remains as intense as ever, averaging 15.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game for Sacramento.

Former teammates and rivals often describe him as a relentless competitor driven by effort — a quality he continues to display every night.
