A recent statistic shows Lakers’ guard Russell Westbrook elevates his teammates to their personal best when they play with him

Russell Westbrook is a one-of-a-kind athlete. Russ has the explosiveness of a bigger player, and also all the skills of a guard. He usually facilitates his teammates, but can also step up and score the points when needed. Russ is also the only player in NBA history to have multiple scoring and assist titles to his name.

Westbrook is also one of the best rebounding guards in the league. Coming to LA as an all-around package, Russell Westbrook should be a great asset to the team. If all these stats weren’t enough, there has been a recent stat, which would solidify his value.
Will LeBron James or Anthony Davis win the scoring title alongside Russell Westbrook?
Some Russell Westbrook loyal fans sat down and complied a statistic, which showed how his teammates had their best scoring years playing with him. It started with Kevin Durant, who averaged 32 ppg in 2013. Paul George, who played two seasons with Russ, was at his best in the second season, scoring 28 ppg in 2018. As we all saw last year Bradley Beal almost won the scoring title, averaging a career-high 31 ppg.
Best scoring years of their career:
Kevin Durant: 32 PPG (2013)
Paul George: 28 PPG (2018)
Bradly Beal: 31 PPG (2020)

These numbers have the Laker Loyals excited. They anticipate that the next in line to win a scoring title would either be LeBron James or Anthony Davis.
So what your saying is that Lebron or AD is about to win the scoring title this year! https://t.co/b1FRNli9zK
