Prior to the start of the 2024-25 season, veteran point guard Russell Westbrook was signed by the Denver Nuggets to help pad their bench and provide some additional veteran leadership. Things haven’t entirely gone according to plan,

Westbrook now looks ahead to Kevin Garnett for No. 21 on the list, trailing the NBA legend and Hall of Famer by 351 points before Wednesday's game. The Nuggets point guard continues to build upon his legacy, cementing himself as a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
