Agreed. You don’t think they do?

Oh I’ve seen players hunting them tons of times.

 

[THE HCP]

Oh I’ve seen players hunting them tons of times.

And NOT get them TONS of times.

 

[THE HCP]

Trust me when I tell you ZagsBoy….EVERY NBA player is trying to9 get a triple double EVERY time they step on the court FAMS! Don’t think they aren’t.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Neither are rosters that don’t have anybody talented enough to even DREAM of getting a triple doubles.

Very true.

They are definitely not a measure of efficiency. Only volume.

You could have 10 turnovers with 10 assists, go rebound hunting instead of playing solid defense, and shoot 35% from the field and get a triple double.

Turnovers don’t count as a stat towards triple doubles. Only points, rebounds, blocks, steals, assists.

 

[kjironman1]

I kind of knew this would happen. Just too many people watch that show. When you hold that kind of viewership numbers the value is just too high.

 

[kjironman1]

Turnovers don’t count as a stat towards triple doubles. Only points, rebounds, blocks, steals, assists.

Thank you. That's was what I was thinking also.

 

[KingSpeed]

Almost guaranteed prediction: Wembanyama will get quadruple doubles in his career.

Almost guaranteed prediction: Wembanyama will get quadruple doubles in his career.

Will he every get a 5x double? I'd think steals will be the hardest for him but I wouldn't be shocked if he eventually gets one.

 

[julius]

Will he every get a 5x double? I'd think steals will be the hardest for him but I wouldn't be shocked if he eventually gets one.

He's already gotten that twice.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

He's already gotten that twice.

I meant a 5x10 - not sure the term for it. He's done 5x5

 

[julius]

Oooh, read it too quick.

 

[PDXFonz]

Will he every get a 5x double? I'd think steals will be the hardest for him but I wouldn't be shocked if he eventually gets one.

I’d argue that steals are the hardest for anyone to get 10+ even a defensive guard that gets them easily.

Makes me wonder how many triple doubles in history involves 10+ steals.

 

[PDXFonz]

If you can get 10 blocks you can probably get 10 rebounds and 10 points; but getting 10 assists and 10 steals would be unlikely.

I’d say the difficulty ranking is as follows

Points < Rebounds/Assists < Blocks < Steals

With rebounds and assists being = depending on position.

I’d guess that the overwhelming majority of triple doubles in history have come from Points/Rebounds/Assists

If you can get 10+ Blocks/Steals you are probably in quadruple double territory and therefore it wouldn’t count as a triple double?

 

[inconceivable]

I’d argue that steals are the hardest for anyone to get 10+ even a defensive guard that gets them easily.

Makes me wonder how many triple doubles in history involves 10+ steals.

Clyde Drexler has gotten the most career triple-doubles when recording 10+ steals, with 2 triple-doubles.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

I meant a 5x10 - not sure the term for it. He's done 5x5

Quintuple double

 

[THE HCP]

Thats what was so impressive of Alvin Robertson’s quadruple double. Damn guard!

So only 8 players have got triple double with steals? More rare than I thought.

 

[KingSpeed]

He already got a 5x5. He’s on his way.

Alvin Robertson got a quadruple double with steals.

 

[PDXFonz]

Alvin Robertson got a quadruple double with steals.

All the way back in the 90s(?) which speaks towards the rarity

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Draymon up to his old dirty tricks again:

 

[THE HCP]

Alvin Robertson got a quadruple double with steals.

Once again…PROPS to you my guy. Breaking that news.
