It's done! Congratulations to Westbrook! The highest-scoring point guard in NBA history.

The Kings fell 102-129 to the Suns,Westbrook went 6 for 12 from the field, 1 for 3 from beyond the arc, and 4 for 5 from the free-throw line, amassing 17 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1 steal, bringing his career scoring total to 26,711 and making him the top-scoring point guard in NBA history.Robertson with 26,710 points, Curry at 26,107, Paul with 23,058, and Lillard at 22,598 follow closely behind.

Westbrook's other key career stats in the NBA point guard category rank as follows:

8906 rebounds (1st), 9616 field goals in live play (1st), 410 blocks (3rd), 10,169 assists (6th), and 2002 steals (7th).

A triple crown winner, unquestionably a triple crown champion.

In Westbrook’s personal trophy case, he has so far earned 1 MVP award, 2 scoring titles, 3 assist titles, 9 All-NBA selections, 9 All-Star appearances, 1 Olympic gold medal, among others. Apart from a championship ring, he has basically achieved a grand slam, making him an absolute legend and securing his Hall of Fame status early on.

This season, despite being 37 years old and holding a veteran minimum contract without guarantees, Westbrook still has plenty of fuel left. He averages 28.7 minutes per game, contributing 14.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 7 assists, and 1.4 steals with shooting percentages of 42.5%, 35.3%, and 67%, making his contract one of the best value deals in today’s NBA.

If it weren’t for the Kings’ poor record—currently 8 wins and 27 losses, ranking 14th in the Western Conference—the management might have kept Westbrook permanently instead of placing him along with Lavine, DeRozan, and Sabonis on the trade block as part of a rebuilding plan.

However, whether the Kings trade him or waive him next, given Westbrook’s current level of play, he won’t lack suitors. He might even turn this setback into an opportunity by joining a championship-contending team and reigniting his title hopes in the final years of his career.

The best fit for Westbrook’s next team would certainly be the Rockets, who urgently need a point guard and have championship potential. Most importantly, he could reunite with his former top teammate Durant and realize the dreams they couldn’t achieve together during their Thunder days.
