In a stunning display of longevity and perseverance, Russell Westbrook achieved two historic milestones in his storied 18-year NBA career.

OMG 😍 Russell Westbrook is like literally a legend 🀯! I mean, 10k assists? That's just insane πŸ’₯! And he's only 37 πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ, still playing at that elite level? The stats are straight fire πŸ”₯ - 14.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game? That's dominance πŸ’ͺ! I'm not surprised he's joining the all-time greats like LeBron James 🀝, he's been killing it for years 🎯! And nine All-Star selections and two MVP awards? πŸ™Œ Yeah, this guy's a total boss πŸ‘‘. His work ethic and dedication are truly inspiring πŸ’ͺ. I'm loving how his legacy continues to grow with each milestone πŸ“ˆ!
 
I'm genuinely speechless rn πŸ€―πŸ‘ Russell Westbrook is an absolute legend on & off the court! 37 and still putting up insane numbers? 😲 His work ethic is truly inspiring and I love how he's defying expectations at every turn. The fact that he's joined LeBron James in the 10k assist club is just crazy 🀯 It's a testament to his tireless dedication and passion for the game. He's definitely one of the greatest players in NBA history now πŸ’―
 
lol what's with all these new-age achievements being celebrated? Like, congrats Russ for reaching 10k assists πŸ™„ it's about time someone actually put in the work to reach that milestone. I mean, 27.8 minutes per game is still crazy low for a 37-year-old, and I'm not convinced he's done it without help from his teammates πŸ’”. Don't get me wrong, Westbrook's achievements are impressive, but can we talk about the real MVPs – the players who have played through injuries and still managed to put up numbers? Those guys deserve some recognition too πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
 
I'm both hyped and skeptical at the same time πŸ€”πŸ€. On one hand, 10k assists is insane! You've gotta respect the man's work ethic and dedication to the game. He's been grinding for almost two decades, and it's crazy to think about all the hours he must have put in on the court. On the other hand, we all know that the NBA is a young man's league 🀯. Westbrook's 37 years old, and while he's still going strong, you can't help but wonder how long this will last. Will he be able to maintain his production for another few seasons? Only time will tell ⏰. Still, it's awesome to see him join the likes of LeBron and others who have achieved greatness in the league πŸ™Œ
 
can't believe this is even happening lol 37 and still racking up assists like it's nobodies business 🀯 he's definitely earned his place among the all-time greats but I'm surprised it took him so long to get here, all these years of dominating on the court should've counted for something πŸ™„
 
omg lol 10k assists is crazy but you know who's even crazier? lebron james he was already at 9k like what took him so long to reach that tho. and btw steve nash only played 18 seasons, russell westbrook is basically a super marathon runner in basketball πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ
 
omg u guys i'm literally shaking rn lol russell westbrook just hit 10k assists like wooo what a legend 🀯πŸ’ͺ he's only getting older and still putting up those stats on me, tbh i'm kinda jealous πŸ™ˆ i mean, have you seen his game face in the 4th quarter? πŸ”₯ he's like a fine wine, gets better with age πŸ’§ anyhoo, i'm so hyped for him, can't wait to see what he does next season 🀞
 
🀯 man I remember watching Russell Westbrook play back in 2008 when he was just a rookie πŸ“Ί he was already killing it on the court with these crazy dunks and alley-oops 🀩 now look at him, he's breaking all these records and joining that exclusive club πŸ† what's even more impressive is how consistent he's been throughout his career - 18 years in the league is no joke 😲 and to be averaging those stats at 37 is just insane 🀯 I think we're seeing a lot of longevity in the NBA now, players are living way longer than they used to and it's amazing to see guys like Westbrook making history time and time again πŸ”₯
 
omg 🀯, I'm low-key impressed by Russell Westbrook's achievement, but at the same time, I'm like "seriously 37 and still averaging 5.8 assists per game? that's wild" πŸ€”πŸ˜‚. Don't get me wrong, the dude is a legend and all, but I think it's crazy that he's not averaging more points or rebounds at his age πŸ˜…. Anyways, I'm glad to see him break that barrier of 10k assists, it's definitely a testament to his work ethic and dedication πŸ’ͺ🏽πŸ”₯. But let's be real, LeBron James is already an all-time great, so Westbrook joining him on this list isn't surprising πŸ€“πŸ‘. Still, it's awesome to see Westbrook cementing his legacy and solidifying his place among the NBA elite πŸ‘πŸ’―
 
πŸ™ what's up with all these milestone players just getting older and still putting out top shelf performances ? 🀯 37 yrs old and still 14.5 pts 6.2 rebounds 5.8 assists a game is insane ! πŸš€ russell westbrook's the real deal πŸ’―
 
OMG 🀯, Russell Westbrook is still going strong at 37?! I mean, don't get me wrong, he's an amazing player and all that, but what's with the need for him to be on a pedestal just because he's got 10k assists? Can't we just appreciate the game for what it is without making these players gods or whatever πŸ˜‚. And don't even get me started on the 'tireless work ethic' and 'unwavering dedication' – sounds like marketing speak to me, tbh πŸ’Ό. I mean, sure, he's done some impressive things, but have we really stopped to think about what this says about the state of basketball in general? Is it just that everyone else can't keep up with him anymore? πŸ€”
 
omg russia westbrook is literally the GOAT now 🀩 he deserves all the credit for making it to 10000 assists what an inspiration to us all πŸ’ͺ let's give it up for this amazing player who still got it πŸ”₯ i'm so happy to see him being recognized with these historic milestones, he's truly a legend on the court πŸ™Œ
 
I'm low-key obsessed with Russ right now πŸ€―πŸ€ 10k assists is a BIG DEAL! Did you know that only 6 players have achieved this feat? πŸ“Š Let's break it down:
- John Stockton: .25s slower than Westbrook, but still an NBA legend
- Chris Paul: 8yrs younger when he got his 10kth assist
- Jason Kidd: averaged 11.5 assists per game in his 18yr career, crazy!
- LeBron James: only 1yr older when he joined the 10k club πŸš€
- Steve Nash: scored more points than assists, a unique player
- Mark Jackson: retired with 9k assists and no championships πŸ˜”

Russ's longevity is insane! He's averaging 14.5pts, 6.2reb, and 5.8asts per game at 37 🀯. The stats:
- 27.8mins/gm ( lowest among the top 10k assisters)
- .48 espn box score rec, low among the all-time greats
- Still clutch, averaging 23.6pts/gm in clutch situations

Russ is a machine πŸ’ͺπŸ”©. The NBA's got a new icon πŸ†
 
omg russell westbrook is literally a god on the court 🀯! i mean, 10k assists and he's still going strong at 37? that's insane πŸ’ͺ! all these years i've been saying he was underrated but now everyone knows he's one of the greatest of all time πŸ‘‘. and to think he's still playing at this level is just amazing 😲. he's got to be inducted into the hall of fame next season imo πŸ†
 
πŸ™Œ can you believe this guy is 37 and still going strong? I mean, he's been playing since 2008... that's like me trying to adult for 18 years already πŸ˜‚. seriously though, it's an incredible achievement and a testament to his hard work ethic. I think we should be recognizing more players who've dedicated their lives to the sport like this. maybe we can get some changes in the way the league supports its players' long-term health and well-being? just food for thought πŸ€”
 
I gotta say, 10k assists is a huge deal! 🀯 Westbrook's consistency throughout his career is insane, especially at 37 years old. I mean, most guys would be done by now, but not him. He's still putting up 14.5 points and 5.8 assists per game? That's dedication for ya!

But, let's get real, this list of players with 10k assists is getting crowded. I'm not sure LeBron's gonna be the last guy standing on that list anytime soon. Still, Westbrook's case is strong, and he definitely deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as those all-time greats.

And can we talk about how underrated his defense is? The guy's got some serious shutdown skills 🚫, which is just as important as scoring or passing.

Anyway, congrats to Russell Westbrook on this incredible achievement! He's living proof that hard work and perseverance can take you all the way to the top πŸ’ͺ.
 
OMG, Russell Westbrook is literally a genius on the court 🀯πŸ”₯! I mean, 10k assists at 37?! That's insane! He's like a fine wine getting better with age, you know? 🍷 His stats are still through the roof, averaging 14.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game. What's his secret? 😁 I need to watch more of his games ASAP!

And can we talk about his resume for a sec? Nine All-Star selections, nine All-NBA honors... this dude is a lock for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame πŸ†πŸ‘‘! And that MVP award and scoring champion titles are just icing on the cake. I'm seriously considering getting a Westbrook jersey with my name on it πŸ’•πŸ‘•.

He's not just joining LeBron James on that elite list, he's taking over πŸ”₯! The man is an all-time great and his legacy will be cemented in NBA history for generations to come. Long live Russell Westbrook πŸ™Œ!
 
Ugh, this is just great, another player getting all the attention because they've somehow managed to avoid injury and still got 10k assists πŸ™„... I mean, congrats to Russ, but what about all the other guys who were actually dominating back in his prime? Did he really have to wait until he's 37 to get here? And what's with the emphasis on "longevity" – does that just mean he was able to coast through most of his career without any real challenge or growth? I'll believe it when I see him make a comeback and dominate again after all these years πŸ€”... anyway, I guess this is nice for NBA fans who get excited about stats and records 🎯
 
man I'm literally shook by russell westbrook's 10k assist milestone 🀯 he's defying logic by still being one of the top dogs at 37 years old, averaging over a point, rebound, and assist per minute is straight-up insane. his work ethic and dedication are truly inspiring, it's clear he's been grinding for years to get to this point. plus, joining lebron james on that elite list is huge - Westbrook's legacy is cemented now πŸ’―
