Read this to get an idea of why Westbrook is my favorite basketball player not named Kobe.

Russell Westbrook is a force of nature. Westbrook has wreaked havoc on opposing NBA teams, piling up 17 triple-doubles so far this season, which ties Magic Johnson’s 1988-89 season for the most in the last 33 years.

Oh yeah, and he added his 18th triple double of the season last night against the Lakers. In the first half. Force of nature is the only phrase that even comes close to describing this guy.
