About This Dataset
NBA Players with Most Career Triple-Doubles
A triple-double — recording at least 10 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists in a single game — is one of basketball's most celebrated all-around feats, demanding elite skill across every dimension of the game. Russell Westbrook cemented his legacy as the undisputed triple-double king by surpassing Oscar Robertson's seemingly untouchable record in 2021 and retiring with 198 career triple-doubles. Robertson's own total of 181 stood as one of the most unbreakable records in professional sports for over five decades. Magic Johnson, whose revolutionary court vision redefined the point guard position, ranks third with 138, accumulated across just 13 NBA seasons. The modern pace-and-space era has made the feat more achievable, with active stars like LeBron James and Nikola Jokić pushing steadily up the all-time leaderboard.
