NBA players want Westbrook for MVP after latest heroics
The media is still fretting over who should win Most Valuable Player, but the decision is already made in the minds of players.
Russell Westbrook made his case on Sunday, drilling a game-winning three at the buzzer to end the Denver Nuggets' season. That triple gave Westbrook 50 points on the night to go along with his record-setting 42nd triple-double.
His contemporaries across the league were effusive in their praise.
Congrats to the Brodie @russwest44 on setting the record!!! #WhyNot #42 #StriveForGreatness🚀
