"Russell Westbrook's carer and legacy is undeniable," Lillard told Sharpe. "That's just the bottom line."

Lillard also added that the triple-doubles that Westbrook has gotten are not something that is easy to do even if someone is trying.

"If I try to go every game and get a triple-double for a whole season, I can't do it," Lillard said. "And there's a lot of other people that can't do it either."

Westbrook has averaged a triple-double for an entire season four different times.
