Active Triple-double leaders: 1. Jason Kidd w/ 105... 2. Grant Hill w/ 29

Kidd - 105
Hill - 29
James - 29
Bryant - 17
Garnett - 16


Only seven players in all of basketball history have more than 29 triple doubles, and Jason Kidd has 105.

Really puts his career in perspective. There's a reason triple doubles are vaunted. Getting 10+ assists and 10+ rebounds in the same game? Most guards don't average 10 assists alone and most forwards don't average 10 rebounds alone. Getting both in one night over a hundred times? And in his prime being able to guard just about any perimeter player? Mind blowing.

It's unfortunate so many players end up being judged by the circumstances out of their control. Jason Kidd could have easily been the point guard for a dynasty team that won multiple titles. It's not his fault he was repeatedly going into battle flanked by Wince Harder and Richard 'heeyyyyy' Jefferson.

Mike Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser sum up their 30 seconds of debate by saying "rings!" in order to get to commercial break, so of course most of you do the same because you saw it on TV. One could easily make the argument for Kidd as the #2 PG of all time, but of course if you did ISH would be in an uproar bleeting their cliches about "rings" as "the man!" and all the other foolish nonsense talking points you've been trained to repeat instead of thinking.

Anyway, show the Kidd some respect!

Really surprised Kobe is ahead of Garnett considering he played under the triangle offense most of his career and is a mass scorer.

But yeah Kidd is a legend.

[DonDadda59]

Definitely one guy I was genuinely happy to see win a championship before he retired. One of the highest basketball IQs ever

[Draz]

So it's official, Kidd > Kobe.

[Kingwillball]

I remember One season on the Nets he had like 20 Trip Dubs and a stretch of 4 or 5 games straight with one.

[L.Kizzle]

McGrady might have the most almost triple double. He had many games with 10+ pts, 10+ boards/assist but only 9 boards/assist. I think he has 6 triple doubles in total.

[JGXEN]

Rondo has 14 right now. He'll overtake Kobe and KG easily by next season for sure

[Eric Cartman]

Rondo has 14 right now. He'll overtake Kobe and KG easily by next season for sure

Why u have a sad celtics frog there my man?

its an overrated stat.. especially for oscar robertson since back in his day 10 rebounds wasnt even that many.. a guy who was the same height ( elgin baylor ) that same year averaged nearly 20 rebounds a game


but yea... triple doubles are not something a player averaging allot of points should get because then the ball has to almost always be in their hands for every single play. and that stagnants the offense


i'm actually surprised lebron doesnt have allot more considering hes what? practically a big man that handles the ball for 20 seconds of the shot clock

[nathanjizzle]

kidd grabbed 10 rebounds? kidd > rose

Exactly. That's why EVERYONE was averaging a triple double, just like Oscar.

Oh wait...

The list of career triple doubles is Oscar, Magic, Kidd, Wilt, Bird, Lever, Havliceck, Hill, James, Jordan, and Drexler. Not really a list comprised of players considered overrated.

You act like its a list headlined by VC and Marbury

[no pun intended]

Hill with 29 and most of those coming from his Detroit years...

Me too I was ecstatic to see all the old farts on Dallas win a ring, and was even more so because LeBron didn't. I'm a turrible person.
