- 2017 NBA MVP Russell Westbrook made nonstop magic -- and a whole lot of history -- happen in 2016-17. Re-live the most amazing dunks, assists, blocks, steals, buzzer-beaters, game-winners and can-you-believe-it highlights from a year in which Westbrook became only the second player (and the first in 55 years) to average a triple-double, joining Oscar Robertson in an elite club.
Westbrook came up huge again and again for the Oklahoma City Thunder, leading the NBA in clutch scoring while hitting four game-winners in the final 10 seconds of regulation or overtime.
He also played with raw energy on what seemed like every possession of his MVP season, delighting fans with crushing slams, incredible moves, lighting-quick drives and big play after big play. Watch the best of it right here.

"What Oscar did, average a triple double, that will never happen again."
Westbrook: Challenge accepted....
Westbrook:hold my beer
Westbrook: Mission completed
Westbrook: Hold my beer
Oscar wasn't trying to average a triple double because they didn't track those back then, there was no emphasis placed on it. Also, Oscar averaged a triple double over his first 6 seasons plus he won an NBA Championship...
Just saying, there are levels to this.
+Puck it's still an amazing accomplishment! Levels or not, what Westbrook did was astounding! Gave a reason to watch OKC games every single night.
Fun fact: Westbrook has a 3.9 gpa in highschool and got an academic (not a sports) scholarship from STANFORD. The dude is smart
@Alexander Mostaghimi He sure has high bball IQ. He just trusts himself too much
@coolest guy on the internet what the hell does b ball have to do with school😂 and I bet ur is in basketball is 🤮
@Coolest Guy On The Internet have you seen the pass that he did the one that went through the opponents legs
To be able to average a triple double for 3 consecutive seasons his high BBall IQ is inevitable. He just loses focus sometimes, which is something every player does.
@o o f I guess you failed every class lmao
Man watching this in 2022 really made me tear up, Russ is and will always be my favourite player, sucks to see him starting to slow down :((
Damn, I feel your pain. He will always be my favorite player to ever watch play the game and make his dream come true. Got to play for his hometown even. He will not win a ring at this point as a top 3 player on a championsbip winning team. His MVP season is one of the greatest ever, and people really do forget how great he was and is. If KD stayed for this season then tbey easily would have won it all. Glad that we got to see what Westbrook could do without KD though, so I ain't complaining. We all witnessed greatness.
He slowed down a bit yes. But I feel like Lakers just isn't for him I hope he gets traded to another team and we'll see
Now u making me cry man this the guy that made me a die hard okc and basketball fan
Never thought I would see Russ like that bro 😓 he’ll be back fasho though
If Lebron let Westbrook play this style the Lakers will succeed. He is a athletic version of Magic Johson and he will make the game easy for AD and Lebron the same way Magic did with the showtime Lakers. Of course their defense has to step up also......
I had to come back here to remind myself how quickly we forget...
facts
@Gus Gang He's Overhated... He just needs the right leader and team-up with a player that can mesh together. Can't win with ISO Harden, even Kobe said that type of basketball will never win chips. KD ran off to 73-10 Warriors after blowing a 3-1 lead to them. Someone like Lebron could get him to play his role.
@Gus Gang or the 76ers
The heat could use russ perfectly
He was a hero that season, weird how it got all flipped.
@@416Raps LMAO regretting that huh
Ive watched this about 1000 times already
Yeah me too.
Yeah same it’s the best mvp mixtape ever
@@ExtremelockGamer I got some
@@dawidwidzyk5434 I got some
Same
That was a sick mixtape.. wow!
watch giannnis, kobe , lebron mixtape also
The music was trash.
@@Obinsfnubf447 song name?
Gotta love how NBA legends say averaging a triple double will never be accomplished again, and when this man finally does it haters wanna belittle it and act like it isn't MVP worthy lmao
Brian Scalabrine if the GOAT says Westbrook is MVP then he’s MVP simple as that
+o7 Harden also had one of the best seasons ever. With a better record. He was also MVP worthy, but WB deserved it more.
jesus harden will get it this year without a doubt
Brian Scalabrine all of these other legends saying it can’t be done, I know you never doubted him, Brian. Of course you would know Brian, you have amazing judgment, not only on the court but of the court too
Brian Scalabrine and now he’s done it 3 straight years
Magic:What oscar did,average a triple double,
that will never happen
Westbrook:Hold my beer
3 times in a row, that's so fucking insane
And he started it literally the same season Magic Johnson said that
My arm is tired for holding this beer. Russ has to staaawp!!!!
hold my triple double*
Still my favourite NBA season by a single player. He was a man on a mission. The cast he took with him to the NBA playoffs had no business even being in the top 10 of the WC standings.
I’m here after the Houston trade😭
Im here with you dont worry 😭
I just want russ to win hopefully him and harden can get along
Umont12 they played on the same team and went very far for years together back in okc 🤦♀️ of course they’ll get along
@@miguelntirampeba4797 you realize that they both have matured and changed so its not always gonna work out
Lucci DiMeo yes, obviously. But if they’ve played before, they would probably most likely have good chemistry and play well together, that’s all I’m saying.
Westbrook had one of the best seasons ever. These haters are honestly sad. They call him a stat-padder, but when he "stat-pads" Thunder have a winning record 😂. #MVP #GOAT
Warriorswillalwaysbetrash ! Thunder fans better appreciate westbrook winning MVP cuz thats the only good thing thats happening to them niggas. He can have that lil MVP. KD got that Finals MVP. Where it really mattered.
keion price finals mvp is not as good as a mvp
The best part is Warrior fans were praising Curry for almost averaging a triple double in the finals, saying that he can impact the game even when his shot is off or when he's turning the ball over. So hypocritical lmao
Damian Lillard Russ a dog they won't mention how he lead league in 4th quarter scoring, won't talk about how he avg 8 rebounds last year with kd. it wasn't stat padding then But because he got the spotlight alot of people not comfortable. like curry doesn't get treated like he rihanna and shit get a pass after pass
Warriorswillalwaysbetrash ! #MVP
Congrats westbrook the only person who was able to break the TD Record and now you're a Mvp you will go down as one of the greatest to play this game you deserved this
Draymond Goat Man I agree but don't give yourself a W
Hoedity??
Www
Thanks
Russell Westbrook lol poser 😂
Congrats to Russell the "Brodie" Westbrook for winning MVP! He worked hard by carrying a team with very little talent to the playoffs. This MVP season will be remembered as one of the best NBA MVP season ever! Congrats for the Brodie and I can't wait for next season!
SplashMelo Anthony 💯🙌🙌
3 years later Russ passed Oscar Robertson for all time triple doubles and people are still gonna find a way to hate 🐐🔥
Facts.
It's ok he a laker now all is good
This did not age well
Bcz they are 70s (especially 80s & 90s) NBA Fans
@@lotuslife3239 😭😭
"what Oscar did, average a triple-doubke, that will never happen again"
Westbrook: *proceeds to average a triple-double three years straight*
Westbrook is an inspiration
Danny Tanner shouldn’t you be taking care of your kids Danny?
@@Emilio14x What's with you?
Anthony aguirre just messing around brodie! Lol
lol
When you can't respect greatness like Westbrook you're playing yourself
*THE BRODIE FTW*
This was beautifully edited! And did anyone else tear up a little during Russ' acceptance speech?
leveluplifting watchu doin here pro genji boi
That one season his drives to the rim were filthy. It reminded me of that explosive off the mark Derrick Rose MVP season. I still love watching him in those training camps accelerating on the drive whilst euro stepping to the basket
still getting goosebump while watching that game-winner
MVP nuff said .
Westbrook definitely deserved it.
Russell Westbrook is just one of the greatests in NBA Hystory!!!! #MVP
ZZZtentacion StunningSteph#30 you are a dumbass curry bandwagon stfu. Westbrook isn't even my favorite player but I can admit he's top 50 of all time and probably top 5 point guards of all time.
Obstine lol it's pretty obvious
Top 50 all-time? Yes. Top 5 PG all-time? No. Curry, Robertson, Magic, Stockton, Isiah are my top 5 all-time. 1 MVP season, 0 rings and 7 seasons with the best scorer ever with only 1 finals doesn't look great to me. But individually, he is one of the greats. He's just not there, not enough awards, bad teamplay. I love Westbrook, but let's be real, he isn't top 5 all-time.
Hahhaahahahahha
Top 25 all time easy
Westbrook is one of my favorite players still. Dude plays with so much intensity. It's like every game is his last. None quite like that.
He wasted his athleticism and strength for statistics... If he wouldn't stat pad, he would get many rings.
Russ's legacy will be print in NBA history for all time, a definite hall of fame player, the top 10 guard of all time. Man, give this man a championship, I would love to see that happen next season. You deserve it Russ, but play hard and stay hard. People will appreciate to see you in years time, just do your self and we love you as who you are. Cheers, MVP.
When his career is over he will go down as a Top 10 Point Guard Of All Time
5
Kevin Da Great W
KingTre1023 i got him top 5 already
HeyItzKienPlayz top 15 of all time is little bit overrated tho
KingTre1023 Is this is a troll? No shit, in fact he's already top 5 in point guards
Westbrook the 🐐
anthony Rodriguez yep
anthony Rodriguez that's my name b

4:04 is so impressive! How was that not the last clip to this video? Between the legs of the defender on a cross court pass..... that is crazy!
Allen Iverson did it first
the is probably the greatest individual season in History, first ballot performance
He may not be the best point guard or player in the NBA but he clearly is the most fun to watch. Looking at him play makes me want to play. Damn!
Greatest point guard in the NBA
Calvin Valledor Agreed Bro
Lmfao
Puck joke?
one of the best pg with most to among the best pg
edit: to=turnover
Russell Westbrooks mentality is like no other . He is a history maker and his story makes him that much more lovable. You haters ain't nothing westbrook is the MVP and hopefully a champion to
Aarrgghh. 2017 Westbrook... I miss this. I hope he plays again like this now in the Lakers.
You there’s a concept called time that exists 😂
@@ozzee5094 and? LeBron kept playing at a high level even after 19 years.
@@elayda93 Not everybody is LeBron James dude. He’s literally an anomaly.
The greatest player in OKC history.
You forget that Kevin Durant also played for OKC
@@jasonokonjo8627Russ goat de OKC
The greatest point guard rebounder to ever step on that court.
I don't watch basketball but this guy is amazing.
easily the most savage player in existence
lets go okc
This is like watching D.Rose before injury but even better! hope he stay healthy.

BullsNation goatbrook
Still watching this in 2023 (Westbrook is a legend)
damn looking back at it, that season was crazy for Russ, he gets so disrespected nowadays
dude was the clutchest player in the NBA that season. he led the league in crunch time points and was second on fourth quarter scoring to IT4 back when he was good.
He was a God this season. 30 point triple double was his average. Bonkers
This is the best MVP mix since d rose MVP season
Insane how folks talk about him these days. What this man's accomplished is legendary. Have some damn respect.
Hes hall of famer, nobody arguing with that
But hes playing like trash rn so..
@@turepic2854 legm wants him to stay in the sidelines but russ performs the best when he’s the one in the spotlight
@@stohess yeah exactly. idk why lebron got him. everyone knew it wasn’t going to work out.
@@turepic2854 yeah he's playing poorly but to my point, there's ways to remark on that while still being respectful - nowadays people talk about him like he's human trash
Russ is one of those players that plays with heart and passion in every game.
He will not cheat you take shortcuts nor will you ever question his effort in a way he does kind of remind me of Vegeta Russell has a lot of pride.
Just came back here after russ break the all time triple-double record. Love him or hate him, Russ is amazing!
People are forgetting about mvp/prime Russ
That's my boy MVP
Song name : Battle in the city by Simon James !!!
P.s Its not available on TH-cam so google it guys.
wish this russ was back
Athletiscm cant save him anymore
@@donaldzuramp4404 Are you joking ?
He just using it wrong, he still the fastest player in the NBA aside from mabye Giannis or sum, and still can jump high af.
One of the best mixtapes I have ever seen. And this is just over one season. Unreal.
is 2020 and im still watching this
this is my all time favorite mixtape
Say what you will but in my opinion 2016 regular season Russel Westbrook is one of the greatest athletes I’ve ever seen.
Best PG in the world
in my opinion, 2016-17 russ' is the best pg of all time and he also did the best mvp season of history, maybe im saying some shit but this is my opinion
Also my opinion, As my favorite player I've watched every thunder game that season & I've never seen a player perform even close to his mvp season💯
best offensive PG maybe
Russell Westbrook would own the 80s if he was back then with this play style lmao
True 3pt shooting wasn’t as needed but also those are still Time Machine questions just have to let players be great in whatever era they played in.
People nowadays forgot how freak of a nature this guys is.
*was
Russ, keep working
You are a legend !
Okc misses you Russ.
And now people act like he’s the reason kd left even though he wasn’t bad during okc he was a beast
This is after Durant left.
ALL TIME LEADER NOW LET’S GOOOO
Gah damn the way this guy dunks with so much energy.. 😤
Who is here after Russell broke the record, and make Magic Johnson and others to think twice when they say something
Thank you for all the time and effort to put this together. Russell should be celebrated, not be used for target practice of petty, haughty, snide remarks. See it all over his social media accounts.
Everybody forgot how good Westbrook was in his prime 🔥
Best pg ever in his prime easily
Seeing this Right now is so tuff. He got caught by the media and numbers.
Whose here after he got traded to lakers
If Los Angeles gets this version of Westbrook... *”We’re in the endgame now”*
@@BackThruster69 Nets are doomed
I've got some bad news....
5 years later and he’s averaged a triple double 4 times already. Russell Westbrook is truly one of the most gifted athletes we’ve ever seen. May The Most High bless this man and his family💯
im so proud of brodie 😿💕💕
Goat season ever for me. I always love you bro
man, this is fire, one of the best mixtapes i’ve ever watched
Russell Westbrook=The Best
nope. mj
people watchin this in 2024🥲🥲🥲
😢
Now westbrook so poor rather than his year mvp
This is the Russell I grew up watching, you won’t come across an explosive point guard like Russ!
Ja is right there
he finally broke the record, pure legend, the walking goat!!
Tears come up when I watch an okc game. The fighter mentality, the fans and the hustles cannot be matched. What a GOAT season!
Who's here after he broke Oscar's record? Brody built different. 22 triple-doubles in 26 games. SHEESH
People call Russ a ball hog, but look at the passes on this reel. They are incredible
but that's all they are. highlight reel passes. if you watch him play you'll know that he IS a ball hog at times.
This was last season but this season...
Nope. He’s a ball hog.
Robert Phillips yea he pads those assists and then doesn’t pass them the ball again after he gets double digits. And he had a great team the last two seasons it’s just that he makes his teammates so much worse. He’s the definition of overrated.
Tommywood How do you pad assists? Shouldn’t you want to facilitate the play as a point guard and want to find your teammates open for easy baskets? 😭😭
Bro Imagine prime westbrook with the Hornets announcers....
They would be having voice aid rn
I can't put into words how much i miss this season
This is most dope highlights I have ever seen for any NBA player (active or retired).
Can you imagine a Lakers team with THIS Russ?
3 in a row
Kids forget how good Westbrook really is
Missing this old russ 🥲
There are a lot of mixtapes out there, but I always come back to this one.
This guy is beast, congrats for MVP Rus.
What a f year that was!!!! I keep coming back to watch it
Here after Westbrook becoming the all time triple double leader in NBA history
We need 2017 westbrook 😭
One of the most monumental mvp mixes ever made. Westbrook was 1 of 1 in his time with OKC
Have to wait till the end of the vid to comment, don't want to miss a second of this greatness...
Best NBA player
He is the real MVP!!!)
mikheili khugashvili yeah that's why he won it
Russ needs to watch this..
I honestly forgot how great this man was
