Facts

Oscar Robertson is second in NBA career regular season triple-doubles with 181, and was the first of two players to average a triple-double over an entire season.

Despite having played less than 500 career games, Luka Dončić is in the top ten in NBA career triple-doubles.

Wes Unseld was the first player to have recorded a perfect triple-double (no missed shots and no missed free throws) in NBA history

• First triple-double in league history: Andy Phillip (Philadelphia Warriors) logged the league's first triple-double on December 14, 1950, versus the Fort Wayne Pistons. He had 17 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. ^[10]
• Averaging a triple-double in a single season: Oscar Robertson and Russell Westbrook are the only players in NBA history to achieve this feat. ^{[11] [12]} During the 1961–62 season, Robertson averaged 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 11.4 assists per game. ^{[11] [13]} Although Robertson only achieved the feat for a full season once, his cumulative stats over his first 5 seasons gave him an average of 30.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 10.6 assists per game. ^[13] Westbrook is the only player to achieve this feat multiple times, doing so in three consecutive seasons. Westbrook finished the 2016–17 season averaging 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 10.4 assists, and followed it up in 2017–18 with averages of 25.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 10.3 assists. ^[14] In the 2018–19 season, Westbrook averaged 22.9 points, 11.1 rebounds and 10.7 assists per game. After not accomplishing the feat in the 2019–20 season, Westbrook, in his first season with the Washington Wizards, averaged 22.2 points, career-high 11.5 rebounds, and career-high 11.7 assists per game across 65 games in the 2020–21 season. ^[15]
