As a technical statistic, triple-doubles can reflect the comprehensive performance of a player on the field. The average triple-double refers to the three technical statistics of scoring, rebounding, and assists, but some players have also taken other alternative triple-doubles, such as three-doubles that include blocks, steals, and mistakes, but they are extremely rare after all. Today we take a look at who has won the most triple-doubles in NBA history!
11th: Luka Doncic; He has won 41 triple-doubles in 4 years of his career. As the league's strongest supernova at the moment, Doncic's on-field performance is near-perfect, and although his speed and bounce are not top-notch, he has played the all-around performance of James in his own way. He has averaged 25.6 points, 8.4 rebounds and 7.8 assists so far in his career, and although he is only 22 years old today, his ability has been recognized worldwide. The day he led the Lone Ranger to victory was also the time when he was crowned the first man in the league.
10th place: Rafit Liver; He finished with 43 triple-doubles in his career. Nicknamed "Fat Man", Liver was the 11th-round pick in 1982, and at 191 he had a game-like performance similar to Kidd's, his rebounding ability and defense were in the upper echelons of control, and the number of career steals was also ranked 24th in history. Averaging 13.9 points, 6.0 rebounds and 6.2 assists in 12 years of his career, and was named to the All-Team twice, the Nuggets retired his No. 12 jersey in '17.
9th place: Larry Bird; He finished with 59 career triple-doubles. As a top three small forward in history, Bird is super powerful, winning three-point kings three times in the era of just popular three-pointers, averaging 10 rebounds per game around Parrish and McHale, and his super high basketball IQ and amazing scoring performance allow him to take a triple-double as a probe. He averaged 24.3 points, 10 rebounds and 6.3 assists in 13 years of his career, and if it were not for his wayward peak retirement, his historical achievements would be even higher.
8th: James Harden; He has won 65 triple-doubles since his career. In Rockets history, the greatest frontman has long since gone from Maddy to Harden. Harden's excellent coping ability and his rich offensive means are as strong as Maddy's. Averaging 25 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 13 years of his career, Harden scored a triple-double at the peak of the Rockets, but he saw no hope of winning the championship.
7th place: Nikolai Jokic; He has won 66 triple-doubles since his career. Mr. Jok is the best center player in history to handle and pass the ball, and many times the Nuggets have jokic hold the ball through halfway, because he can quickly create scoring opportunities, so he will soon become the center player with the most triple-doubles in history. In his seven years of career, he averaged 19 points, 10.2 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game, and even with embiid, Towns and others, Mr. Jo is still the league's first center today.
6th place: Wilt Chamberlain; He finished with 78 triple-doubles in his career. In the rookie season, he took the scoring champion and the regular season MVP, and Chamberlain's performance can only be described as surprise. Because the early NBA did not count the blocks, otherwise he would add the block data, it must be the first person in history to be the first person in the history of the four doubles. He averaged 30.1 points, 22.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 14 years of his career, and assists just depend on whether he wants to or not, because as long as he has the ball in hand, scoring is almost effortless.
5th place: LeBron James; He has won 102 triple-doubles since his career. When it comes to all-around performance on the field, almost no one can match James, but his career triple-doubles are indeed not as many as expected. Mainly due to James's scoring ability is too strong, although he is the master of the team, scoring is still his first priority. In 19 years of his career, he averaged 27 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game, and if James wants to brush up on the data, it is estimated that Westbrook's historical triple-double will also be conceded.
4th place: Jason Kidd; He scored 107 triple-doubles in his career. At his peak, Kidd averaged eight rebounds per game, better than most interior players. Coupled with the fact that he is one of the top five passers in history, a triple-double is not difficult for him in theory. But Kidd actually got rebounds and assists many times in his career, but he didn't score in double figures, which made people feel strange. He averaged 12.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 8.7 assists in 19 years, making him the second-highest total assist and second-highest total steals in history.
3rd place: Elvin Johnson; He finished with 139 triple-doubles in his career. The Magic is the player with the most assists per game in history, and his scoring and rebounding abilities are also excellent, and he is the first person in the league who was previously recognized by Jordan. Although he has always had Hall of Fame teammates like Abdul-Abdul-Abdul-Watsy by his side, the Magic has always been the best point on the team. He averaged 19.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 11.2 assists in 13 years of his career, and his retirement after the peak of his illness was also lamentable.
2nd place: Oscar Robertson; He finished with 181 career triple-doubles. The rookie season Big O almost won the season triple-double, and for the first time in history, achieved the feat of season triple-double. Even the invincible Chamberlain said that Big O was the best player in the league at the time. With 25.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 9.5 assists in 14 years of his career, no one thought anyone before Westbrook could replicate his feat of a triple-double of the season.
1st place: Russell-Westbrook; He has won 193 triple-doubles since his career. If the Thunder Three Less did not disintegrate that year, if Durant did not defect to the Warriors at his peak, perhaps Wei Shao would not embark on the road of no return to brushing data. Today's Westbrook, although the data performance is superb, no one has listed him in the league's top ten stars. He averaged 23 points, 7.4 rebounds and 8.5 assists in 14 years of his career, achieving a triple-double of the season many times, but he is getting farther and farther away from a good defender.
