Video games are fun because you can put up insane stats every time you play. But sometimes even the stats you put up in a video game aren't as impressive as some of the real-life stats NBA players can achieve. That was the case Wednesday night.

Russell Westbrook had an insane triple-double (25 points, 20 assists, 10 rebounds) against the Clippers, putting numbers that hadn't been seen since 1998 (Rod Strickland). When teammate Kevin Durant views those numbers, his mind goes to video games.

"NBA 2K. On rookie," he said after the game. "That's unheard of. Words can't even describe it because it looks so effortless and smooth in the game."

Maybe the creators of 2K need to adjust the game for Westbrook like they did for Stephen Curry.
