At the conclusion of the 2024-25 NBA regular season, Russell Westbrook had 203 career triple-doubles. That’s more than anyone else in the history of the NBA.

Westbrook passed notorious triple-double man Oscar Robertson thanks in large part to his time at the center of the Oklahoma City offense in the late 2010s. 

Westbrook famously won the 2017 NBA MVP after averaging a triple-double for an entire season. He went on to average a triple-double in 2018, 2019, and 2021.

Westbrook and Robertson, who played from 1960-74, were the only players to ever average a triple-double over the course of an entire season – until 2025, when Nikola Jokic joined the club with a 30/13/10 season-long stat line. 

Here’s where the record books stand as of April 15, 2025.
