Russell Westbrook named NBA's MVP after record-setting season

After a historic season, Russell Westbrook was named NBA's Most Valuable Player. The Thunder guard had 42 triple-doubles, breaking a record Oscar Robertson set 55 years ago. Westbrook won the award over Houston Rockets’ James Harden and San Antonio Spurs’ Kawhi Leonard. Westbrook received the Bill Russell MVP Trophy on Monday, “I remember growing up just being home, playing the video games and stuff with my pops, and my mom sitting there and my brother and just talking about maybe one day I could be the MVP. Obviously I was joking at the time. But now to be standing here with this trophy next to me is a true blessing, man, and it’s an unbelievable feeling, something that I can never imagine.”
