The pace of the game and minutes played both influence the traditional triple-double.
To control for these factors, I’ve simply adjusted the focus. Let’s look at triple-doubles per 100 possessions. To be clear, that means averaging at least 10 rebounds, 10 points, and 10 assists per 100 possessions played. I’ve also required 1000 minutes played.
Sorted from highest (pts + rebounds + assists) / 100 possessions. Currently this only goes back to 1973-74. Prior to that season possessions have to be estimated differently. I will address those earlier seasons separately.
This has been updated through the end of the 2017-18 season.
