Russell Westbrook didn't make the postseason, as the New Orleans Pelicans edged out the Oklahoma City Thunder, for the final postseason spot in the Western Conference.

But Westbrook still had an incredible season, leading the NBA in scoring for the first time in his career. He became the first such champ to miss the postseason since Tracy McGrady did so for the Orlando Magic in 2003-04.

In addition, Westbrook became the fourth player to win the scoring title and average at least eight assists per game. The three players he joined are legends of the sport: Oscar Robertson, Nate Archibald and Michael Jordan.

Westbrook also led the league in triple-doubles ... by a lot. His 11 were seven more than the player with the next-most (James Harden with four). They were also the most by any NBA player since Jason Kidd had 13 in 2007-08.

And as you can see in the image above, Westbrook became the second straight Thunder player to win the scoring title. It's the second time in NBA history that two different players from the same team won the scoring title in consecutive seasons. The other instance was in 1951-52 and 1952-53 when Paul Arizin and Neil Johnston were leaders for the Philadelphia Warriors.

Also notable among the NBA's leaders this season:

• Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan finished as the NBA leader in field-goal percentage (71 percent) and rebounds per game (15.0).

It's only the second time in NBA history that a player shot at least 70 percent from the field and averaged at least 15 rebounds per game. The other was Wilt Chamberlain for the Lakers in 1972-73.

• Jordan's teammate, Chris Paul, led the NBA in assists for the second straight season, edging out John Wall (10.2 to 10.0).

Paul has now led the league in that stat four times in his career. The only players to do so more often are John Stockton (9), Bob Cousy (8), Oscar Robertson (7), Jason Kidd (5) and Steve Nash (5). Paul's assist titles match the number that Magic Johnson and Kevin Porter had in their careers.

• Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry completed a magical season, leading the NBA in 3-pointers for the third consecutive season. He's the first player to win that crown in three straight seasons.

Curry also led the NBA in steals for the first time in his career. He's the first Warriors player to lead the NBA in steals since Rick Barry in 1974-75. Now Curry will try to match what Barry did that season: lead the Warriors to an NBA title.

He'll now try to lead his team to a much greater goal: its first NBA title since the 1974-75 season.
