Watch: Jordan Clarkson's rebound to become first Utah Jazz player to record regular season triple-double in 5,801 days

Miami Heat v Utah Jazz
Jordan Clarkson became the first player for the Utah Jazz to have a regular season triple-double since 2008.

Jordan Clarkson made history on Monday night after becoming the first Utah Jazz player to record a regular-season triple-double in 5,801 days. Clarkson grabbed his tenth rebound with around two minutes left against the Dallas Mavericks at home.

The last Jazz player to record a triple-double was Carlos Boozer, who did it on Feb. 13, 2008, in a 112-93 win over the Seattle SuperSonics. He finished with 22 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

Clarkson had an almost similar stat line of 20 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in the 127-90 win over Luka Doncic and the Mavericks. You can watch the historic rebound in the video below as Clarkson calls timeout to give himself, his teammates and the fans the time to celebrate.

Jordan Clarkson led the way for the Utah Jazz in their blowout win over the Dallas Mavericks. Apart from Clarkson's historic triple-double, the Jazz got some fabulous performances from Simone Fontecchio, Lauri Markkanen, John Collins and Walker Kessler.

Fontecchio had 24 points and six rebounds, while Markkanen put up 17 points and four rebounds. Collins contributed 15 points and five rebounds, and Kessler posted a double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds off the bench.

Clarkson recorded the triple-double in just 28 minutes of action and is the first player to do so off the bench since Russell Westbrook last season.

What was the NBA like when Carlos Boozer recorded his triple-double?

The NBA was very different when Carlos Boozer had a triple-double against the Seattle SuperSonics. Kevin Durant was only a rookie while the OKC Thunder did not exist yet. The New Orleans Pelicans were being called the Hornets, while the Charlotte Hornets were still the Bobcats.

LeBron James was in his first stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers and had not won his first MVP award. The San Antonio Spurs were the defending champions, and Kobe Bryant was considered the best player in the world. Steph Curry was still at Davidson, and the leader in 3-point field goals made were Peja Stojakovic and Jason Richardson.

Jordan Clarkson ended a 15-year drought that will be celebrated by the Utah Jazz fanbase and frowned on by trolls on social media.
