Westbrook nods to Ash Ketchums with his Jordan Why Not Zer0.2 PE.

Oklahoma City Thunder All Star point guard Russell Westbrook put up a historic stat line Tuesday night, as he recorded the first 20-20-20 triple-double game in over 50 years.

He put up the staggering numbers while rocking yet another Pokemon-themed sneaker, this time nodding to Ash Ketchums.

The 30-year old superstar has been lacing up different Pokemon-inspired colorways of his Jordan Why Not Zer0.2 sneaker for the past week. It started last Wednesday when he posted a triple-double in a pair of "Pikachu" Why Not Zer0.2s, and continued on Sunday afternoon with a special edition "Charizard" PE.

There's no telling how many Pokemon PEs Westbrook has stashed away, but he has never failed to put up a triple-double on night's when he takes the court in those sneakers. Of course, that shouldn't come as a surprise considering he is on pace to average a triple-double for the third consecutive season. 

As a result of Tuesday night's victory, the Thunder maintained pace with the San Antonio Spurs but they're still sitting in eighth place at 45-33.

Westbrook, who finished with 20 points, 21 assists and 20 rebounds, in the victory against the Lakers dedicated his epic performance to the late, great Nipsey Hussle.
