11:29am, 18 June 2025【Basketball】

June 18, because there is no competition today, we can talk about some things outside the competition during this period. After entering the playoffs, everyone should see the super strength. The Nuggets' paper strength this year is so poor. As a result, Jokic led the team to a tiebreak with the Thunder. His comprehensive performance left the opponent helpless. Since entering the playoffs, it has been difficult for players to win triple-double due to the stronger defense targeting, but Jokic can still easily score triple-double.

Speaking of this, it is actually difficult for a player to score 10 triple-doubles in the playoffs. Considering the number of games and targeted playoffs, if you want to achieve triple-doubles, you must be a very comprehensive player. Speaking of this, looking at the history of the total of 9 players who scored 10 triple-doubles in the playoffs, who did it? Let’s take a look together.

Zhongmeng Green

Zhongmeng is the best small center in history. He not only has excellent defensive ability, but the key is that he can deal cards to his teammates at the top of the arc and has good organizational skills. If it weren't for his limited scoring ability, he might be able to win more triple-doubles. The Warriors have reached the finals for five consecutive years. As the core of the inside line, his value is indispensable. Zhumeng has won triple-doubles in the playoffs in total 10 times. Zhumeng can average 11.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks per game in the playoffs.

Doncic

Doncic was 26 years old and he entered this list. It is estimated that he will score more triple-doubles in the future. Doncic's scoring and assisting abilities are both top in the league. In order to launch a better offense, the team will choose to let the center give Doncic a position and let him grab rebounds, so it is not difficult to win a triple-double. Doncic has scored 10 triple-doubles so far in his career, and can average 30.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game in the playoffs.

Rondo

Rondo is like chasing dreams. The biggest problem is that he is not strong in scoring ability, otherwise he can also win multiple triple-doubles. Rondo's ball maker is a top player in NBA history. Although he is only a backcourt player, he has excellent predictions and positioning for rebounds. As a backcourt player in the traditional basketball era, it is very good that he can enter this list. He also won triple-doubles 10 times, and averaged 12.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.7 steals per game in the playoffs.

Bird

Bird is the most comprehensive small forward in James' history before, and it is reasonable for him to enter this list. Although Bird does not think he is unhappy, he has his own rhythm. He can easily score points based on his own rhythm, and has an excellent overall view of the situation to easily send passes. His rebounding ability is even top-notch. Bird also won a triple-double in his playoffs 10 times in his career, and averaged 23.8 points, 10.3 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.8 steals, and 0.9 blocks per game.

Kidd

Kidd is similar to Rondo, and is also a point guard who is good at rebounding and organization. However, Kidd has stronger scoring ability than Rondo, and has better physical talent, so he has more advantages in scoring and rebounding. Kidd may be the top ten point guard in history. He has led the team to the finals twice. He has won a triple-double in the playoffs in a total of 11 times in his career. Kidd averages 12.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, 8 assists and 1.9 steals per game in the playoffs. He is often jokingly called the economic triple-double king by fans.

Westbrook

As the only player in the history of the regular season with a total of more than 200 triple-doubles, how can this kind of list be missing Westbrook? Westbrook's athletic ability is the top among point guards in history, and his bullet speed and confrontation are also top-notch. Westbrook won a total of 12 triple-doubles in the playoffs, and he also had a feat of 50+ triple-doubles in a single game in the playoffs. It's so amazing! He averaged 22.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game in his career playoffs.

Jokic

Jokic reached this height at the age of 30. I think he had the opportunity to become the triple-double king in the history of the playoffs when he retired. It was very easy for the top center to score rebounds and score points. Compared with most centers, Jokic also has a top pass. He may be the best center in history to pass the ball. He has a total of 21 triple-double in the playoffs so far, and he can average 27.4 points, 12.3 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game in his career.

James

James is the most versatile player in NBA history and the player with the most playoffs in NBA history. It is estimated that many fans have guessed that he has entered this list. James has won a total of 28 triple-doubles so far in the playoffs. Is he expected to reach 30 triple-doubles in the future? I think it's very difficult, after all, at this age, I don't have absolute ball rights. James averaged 28.4 points, 9 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 1 block per game in his career playoffs. The main reason why the Magician is able to become the first point guard in history is that he is much bigger than other point guards. He is 2.06 meters tall and can play in the 4th position, so it is too easy for him to grab rebounds. With his top organizational ability, and the point guard has absolute ball rights. A triple-double is simply a breeze for him. The Magician averaged 19.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, 12.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game in his playoffs.
