#3. Russell Westbrook

The triple-double king isn’t a surprise on this list. April 11, 2016, is known in NBA history as Kobe Bryant’s last road game. The LA Lakers took on the OKC Thunder on the road as Bryant’s last game away from the adoring crowd in Los Angeles.

Russell Westbrook stole the show in the first half, finishing with a triple-double in just 17 minutes and 35 seconds. He ended the night with 13 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds. The “Black Mamba” played 19 minutes and walked away with 13 points, one rebound and one steal.

#2. Jim Tucker

Out of the names on this list, Jim Tucker is perhaps the one most NBA fans are unaware of. Tucker played just three seasons in the league for the Syracuse Nationals.

On February 20, 1955, he gained fame when he dropped a triple-double against the New York Knicks in just 17 minutes. He had 12 points, 12 dimes and 10 rebounds. The record stood for over 60 years until a certain Denver Nuggets big man broke it.

#1. Nikola Jokic

On Feb. 16, 2018, more than 60 years after Jim Tucker made history, Nikola Jokic rewrote it. He now holds the NBA record for the fastest triple-double. “The Joker” did it in just 14 minutes and 33 seconds.

The then-emerging big man finished with 30 points, 17 assists and 15 rebounds in 34 minutes. Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks star went toe-to-toe against the Serbian. “The Greek Freak” tallied 36 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds but it took him nearly the entire game to achieve the triple-double.
