    That he did it the second fastest in the world. You just can't grasp the magnitude of this nerd accomplishment. One of fasted stat padders the world has ever seen.

    Empty stats... Someone tell me how he put those numbers up and still managed -11 +/-???

    Easily worst on the team outside of Capela.

    Lot of garbage time stats when the game was over

    Decent effort but I'd rather take a W

    garbage time started with KJ's first foul at 11:59 in the 3rd Q. :rolleyes:

    For some reason, all the reports say Westbrook did it in 21 minutes, but when I count the minutes it is 20:11 or something like that. He might have really done it. I mean, they quote Elias Sports.

    What was MJ's exact minutes:seconds?

    Also, what was the game clock. Harden still might have beat him on the game clock.

    "decent effort" lols.

    Not sure if serious, but we were leading the game when Harden accomplished this.

    Sorry you guys lost interest in random stats of accomplished, such that you have to piss on them, but I find trivia fun, enough to look on the internet for awhile to see if 7:22 left in the 3rd was the fastest.

    Fun. Steve Francis had 25, 17, 14 as a rookie. First rookie to do it since Wilt (at the time).

    That's from minutes MJ played and not the clock, he finished the game with 30 minutes played in which he got a tripdub in 20 minutes played. Fat Lever has a triple double with the fewest minutes played for a game with 25 minutes. 2nd would be Karl Malone at 26 minutes and also the oldest since he was 40 years old.

    I'm not exactly sure what the criteria is with all these made up records statisticians look up, but im sure they miss things all the time.
    If it's clock, here is a vid of Larry Bird getting a triple double with 7:42 left in the 3rd qtr.

    You made yourself look like a fool man. Wilt had 53/33/14 that game. The stat is ATLEAST, not the exact stat line

    Yeah, the times in the OP are playing time, not game clock.

    Westbrook actually did it in 20:11 time, according to the play-by-play of the game. He beat Jordan's time, which some say was closer to 21 minutes. For whatever reason, most articles say Westbrook was 21 minutes, but I checked the PnP.

    This video also says 20 minutes for Westbrook

    Anyhoot, Elias Sports Bureau is the source of saying WB beat MJ's time.

    I didn't piss on them. I just said it's a decent effort and I stand by that - I don't care too much about personal stats in a blowout loss. Had we won, it would have definitely carried more weight.

    Like I said, I'd rather take the W

    just joshin' with you a bit. I actually thought it was a pretty cool factoid. I'm just so damn pissed about this team that I can't see anything straight. So sorry if I came across a bit snarky.
