Westbrook Accepts MVP Award With Teammates On Stage

The first player to average a triple double for an entire season since Oscar Robertson, has captured the 2016-17 NBA MVP award. Last week in New York City the NBA hosted their first ever award show. Taking a page from the NFL Honors as well as the NHL Awards. Westbrook averaged 31.6 ppg, 10.7 rpg and 10.4 apg. Oklahoma City finished 6th in the Western Conference. OKC was eliminated by Houston, who were led by MVP candidate James Harden. Russell Westbrook had his teammates join him on stage, as he made his acceptance speech. Shortly after the NBA Awards show OKC acquired Paul George from Indiana. Keep in mind PG13 is entering his final year of his contract, ditto for Brodie.
