#2 Russell Westbrook - 47 30-point triple-doubles

Los Angeles Lakers Introduce Russell Westbrook

A triple-double record without Russell Westbrook's name mentioned seems like a very unreal proposition. Westbrook currently leads the NBA in most career triple-doubles by a player (184).

The former OKC Thunder talisman has managed to average a triple-double throughout the season four times in his career. With the rate at which the point guard has managed to tally these triple-doubles, it comes as no surprise that he has also managed to notch 47 30-point triple-doubles in the NBA.

#1 Oscar Robertson - 106 30-point triple-doubles

Oscar Roberston was one of the most versatile players in the NBA during his playing days in the league. He held the record for tallying the most career triple-doubles (181) for 47 years until Russell Westbrook broke his record during the 2020-21 NBA campaign.

Robertson was also the first-ever player to average a triple-double for the season during the 1961-62 NBA campaign. He was a 6'5" guard who could do anything on the basketball court. It was one of the key factors that helped Robertson tally a record 106 30-point triple-doubles in his NBA career, the most by any player ever.

Oscar Robertson had 106 Triple Doubles with 30+ points... That is THE MOST ridiculous sports stat I've ever heard of in my entire life
