Russell Westbrook joined elite company Tuesday night with his triple-double against the Atlanta Hawks.

But this wasn't just another typical performance from the Oklahoma City Thunder point guard.

Westbrook notched his 100th career triple-double with a game that included 32 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists.

Westbrook hit the triple-double when he nabbed the rebound of an errant Taurean Prince three-pointer.

He joins Oscar Robertson (181), Magic Johnson (138) and Jason Kidd (107) as the only NBA players to achieve the feat. Wilt Chamberlain retired with 78. LeBron James sits in sixth place, with 68.

"It's a blessing, man," Westbrook said after the game. "I give all thanks to the man above. ... I'm just thankful to be able to do it here in Oklahoma City with my teammates and just happy I'm able to accomplish something like that."

The two-time MVP and seven-time All-Star is on a roll. Tuesday night's performance was his third consecutive triple-double and 21st of the season. 

The Thunder beat the Hawks, 119-107.
