A great season for Russell Westbrook just got better.
Just hours after tying Oscar Robertson's single-season triple double mark, the Brodie made history for a second time by defeating defending champ Lacey Swope in the Ogle Madness X Championship game. He won by a count of 828 - 616.
Here he is acknowledging the victory:
In typical Westbrook fashion, the path to glory was not easy and didn't come without controversy. First, Russ fended off a rambunctious band of Street Racers in the Final Four with a miracle finish. Then, in the Championship match, an Internet troll who's really good at writing computer scripts tried to hack the results in Swope's favor. Unlike the United States government, we took the ballot rigging seriously and removed the illegitimate votes.
We'd like to congratulate Russ for taking home this prestigious crown. I'm sure he'll have a lot to say about it tomorrow before his game against Memphis. We'd also like to thank him for all his contributions to Oklahoma City and for sticking around while other players ran off like cry baby cowards.
