The art of the triple-double is fascinating in basketball. Any 3 combination of points, assisits, steals, rebounds, and blocks and at least 10 in each of the 3 categories constitutes as a TRIPLE-DOUBLE.

The BLUEDUDE is going to take you to the All-Time List as well as the Current NBA List for Triple-Doubles. The 3 categories I will cover in Triple-Doubles are:
REGULAR SEASON
THE ACTIVE LIST (Current Players playing Today)
the PLAYOFF LIST

Most everyone on the All-Time List and Playoff List is in the BASKETBALL Hall of FAME and the Current List has its share of Future Hall Of FAMERS...Trust Me.

Now to the Lists.....first up

In 1961-1962 Oscar Robertson averaged a triple-double for a season with 30 points, 12 rebounds , and 11 assists and WILT CHAMBERLAIN is the only player in NBA History to record a Double-Triple-Double in 22 points, 25 rebounds , and 25 assists.

The BIG O also had 41 Triple-Doubles in 79 games in that 1961-62 season.......SIMPLY AMAZING and a feat that will probably never happen again.

Of the Current List of Triple-Doubles only Lamar Odom and Baron Davis have no shot at the NBA Hall of FAME . the rest of the Players will be in in due time.

A wonderful list of complete players playing at the highest on the highest level...............the NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION.
