5 NBA players with most playoff triple-doubles

One of the most tracked statistical categories in the modern NBA is triple-doubles. From a rookie to a veteran, every player aims for it every game. The statline identifies a player's strengths on both ends of the floor and boosts their team's chances of winning.

During the playoffs, superstars often rise up to the occasion and rack up incredible numbers to further strengthen their team's chances of lifting the Larry O'Brien trophy.

But which professional basketball player, out of the many, has recorded the most triple-doubles during the postseason? Here's a look:

#1 Magic Johnson - 30

Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson leads the list as he accumulated a total of 30 triple-doubles in his career in the playoffs. He attained this figure while playing 190 playoff games in 13 trips to the postseason.

Johnson won five NBA titles and three Finals MVPs with the Lakers.

#2 LeBron James - 28

James racked up 28 triple-doubles in his 15 postseason trips, prior to the ongoing season. This helped James win four championships and four Finals MVPs.

LeBron is one of four players in NBA history to win a championship with three different teams. He has the chance to surpass Magic Johnson for the most playoff triple-doubles in the ongoing NBA playoffs.

#3 Russell Westbrook - 12

NBA's all-time triple-double leader is in third place with 12 triple-doubles. Westbrook played the fewest games among the players on this list, with 116 playoff games in 12 postseason trips.

#4 Jason Kidd - 11

Fourth on the list is Jason Kidd with 11 triple-doubles, having played 158 playoff games in 17 postseason appearances.

Kidd suited up for the Phoenix Suns, New Jersey Nets (now Brooklyn Nets), Dallas Mavericks, and New York Knicks. He won a title with the Dallas Mavericks in 2011.
