King of the Triple-Double

According to the NBA, a triple-double is when a player reaches double figures (10 or more) in three of the five main statistical categories – points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks – they have achieved a triple-double.

Russell Westbrook III made his NBA debut in 2008 and became a star as a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has played for six NBA teams and currently plays point guard for the Denver Nuggets.

Westbrook is one of only two players in NBA history to average a triple-double for a season. He has achieved that feat four times and is the all-time NBA leader in career triple-doubles. He scored his first triple-double on March 2, 2009 with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

At the time of writing, Westbrook has 199 Triple-Doubles to his name over 1,162 (17.2%). Time will only tell how many more he can add to this already impressive tally.
