Russell Westbrook just keeps doing his thing.
It all looks a little weirder in a Sacramento Kings uniform, but that's the team that wanted Russ on their side this season, and so that's where Westbrook finds himself.
On Saturday night, Westbrook moved up a cool NBA record board.
He now ranks 14th in NBA history in steals.
To get to that spot, he had to move past Allen Iverson, who has now dropped to 15th.
Westbrook is approaching 2,000 career steals. Here's the entire top-20:
Congrats to @russwest44 of the @SacramentoKings for moving into 14th on the all-time STEALS list! Pic.twitter.com/Io3614DjUT

Westbrook is a player that is a bit enigmatic among basketball fans.
He always put up big numbers, but sometimes that was viewed as a negative, not a positive.
The reality is that Russ is a player unlike almost any other in NBA history.
His defense usually flies under the radar, but he has the instincts to take the ball away, and he's still showing them.
Passing A.I. On any record list is a cool deal, including in this case. And soon, Russ will hit a nice round-number milestone of 2,000 steals, too.
